o maa.Njhii o maa.Njhii (Bandhe Haath)

George writes:

This interesting R D Burman composition (recently featured in the second edition of the OOOPS quiz) was made famous in Meree Sangeet Yaatra: Episode 11, Part 1, as another interesting experiment from R D Burman: turning a boat song into a cabaret song.

In an interview, Mumtaz claimed that the picturisation of the famous Madhuri number 'ham ko aaj kal hai' in SAILAAB owed a lot to this song.

The film made the record books as the only one that had Mumtaz starring opposite the Big B.

machal machal jaataa hai dil (Ram Tere Kitne Naam)

George wrote:

Another song from RAM TERE KITNE NAAM, this one featured in Panchamrit 4 (aka the final edition), and also proved to be the most difficult one in the quiz. For a description, I have taken the liberty of borrowing from querents Vinay and Shashi:

"Even a sore throat and cold could not repress Lata from singing this romantic ditty penned by Gulshan Bawra. The song speaks of expectant love - the excitement of fulfillment expressed with guitars and the joy of impending commitment played on rhythmic Dholaks. Each instrument is singing out the joy"
