Because DDLJ was one of the first Hindi films I watched by choice as an adult (not counting a few trips to the cinema as a kid), nearly 20 years ago now, I was Today years old when I learned that both Lata and Asha sang for it. Happily, I have no trouble hearing the difference now. Sorry Lataji, but my preference will always be to remain 😀 #filmi #gaane #Asha

Inspired by today's (Thursday's ) #Wordle, a blast from the past from #DDLJ The SRK-Kajol jodi really was jadoo. And I say that as someone who was NOT a big fan of SRK #filmi #bollywood

You know you're old when

YT Music suggests tracks from K3G & DDLJ for you 👴🏼🤣 But at least it also suggested the ONLY bit of the execrabltawful Devdas worth watching, the marvellous Madz together with Aish

And continuing the 'it's complicated' relationships theme in my blast from past playlist, my favourite song from the Hindi romance I've rewatched BY FAR the most #JabWeMet #Bebo #filmi #Bollywood

Here's another of my Lataji faves, a duet with the incomparable Rafi. From "Taj Mahal", so of course it always reminds me of Sahir Ludhianvi's VERY different take on that famous tomb. #Lataji #filmi #bollywood

Google's Doodle sending me to मेरे हाथों में नौ-नौ चूड़ियां हैं reminded me why I never got into 90s Bollywood. Asha's didi was LONG past her best by then, and I couldn't stand her screeching. So here's the first of hyer songs I fell in love with, showing her at her best. #Lataji #filmi #bollywood

Sunday Qawwali 5

Having offered one of the 'purest', most traditionally Sufi of filmi qawwalis from my favourites, I'll wrap with one from the opposite end of the scale. A fun hybrid from nearly twenty years ago😱 👴

Sunday Qawwali 3 - an all-rtime classic and one I love because Shamshad "beats" Lata #IfYouKnowYouKnow

"While its story is significantly a mystery, it also falls within speculative fiction, a context that Hindi cinema does not often pursue, generally preferring to pin inexplicable occurrences on the divine or just auspicious, convenient coincidences rather than on deviations from the laws of physics.

Perhaps most unusually of all, there is a woman at the center of the story and of its telling." https://culturalgutter.com/2022/12/01/dobaaraa/

Looking for some classic #filmi music to unwind to here as the bird site implodes, and of course #AshaBhosle was the perfect choice - the lyrics such a great fit 😀 #BrimfulOfAsha mud mud ke na dekh
