Govinda - Radha Krishna Temple

Produced by Beatle George Harrison in 1970, he also played guitar and harmonium. His lush production and arrangement added greatly to the enjoyment of this immensely infectious and beautiful song. It was released as a single and spent 8 weeks on the British charts and eventually reached number 23.

Hare Krishna!




And here are 2 more lovely YouTube slideshows of the song:

Jhuk Gaya Aasman - Title theme

Here's one of the best Bollywood themes ever: "Kaun Hai Jo Sapno Mein Aaya" from "Jhuk Gaya Aasman"  by Shankar Jaikishan. Thanks to eratini for alerting me to the song. I would have put it on the Bollywood's Best Movie Title Music DVD if I had known about it earlier. Its an inspired adaptation of Elvis Presley's "Marguerita." Enjoy!

My thoughts on some of my favorites...

I really like Shankar Jaikishan's lovely theme for Bombay Talkie. Its so contemporary it feels like it could have been written yesterday and it has such a soothing, lilting groove that it just grows on you with every listen. Kalyanji's Anadji's music for Zanjeer, on the other hand, has a classic seventies feel to it. I love the melody and the arrangement that accompanies the atmospheric video. R.D. Burman's haunting title music for Caravan has been a favorite of mine for years. It features a great wordless vocal by Usha Iyer as Asha Parekh helplessly drives a runaway car down a mountain. Yikes!

Helen of Bollywood - Volume Four

Its been almost a year since the last volume was released. Since then, I've uploaded 3 other compilation DVDs:

My Name is Suzy - 23 videos influenced by western music and culture including 7 with Helen.

Helen Dhamaka - 40 rare Helen videos that have never been released on DVD.

Helen: Always In Step - various videos about Helen.

After getting over 500 downloads of the first 3 volumes, I've decided to continue with Helen of Bollywood (Volume 4). As usual, all videos were remastered to the best of my ability for optimal viewing pleasure. So, I hope you enjoy them! Once again, special thanks to PC! And also to Tom Daniel for technical advice.

Among the highlights in this volume: the evergreen song "Ooi Ma Ooi Ma Yeh Kya Ho Gaya" from the classic fantasy film "Parasmani" and "Suku Suku" from the 1961 superhit "Junglee." Personal favorite: "Hello Hello" from "Ek Shriman Ek Shrimati" in which Helen dances up a storm and entertains us as only she can. :)
