‘Masth’

Qalandar lists fifteen of his favorite Hindi song videos:

SHARMAAKE YE KYUN SAB PARDA NASHEEN (Chaudhvin Ka Chand): I cannot think of a better mujra video from the black and white era: the scale, the energy, the contrast between the voices of Asha Bhonsle and Shamshad Begum (itself a source of erotic tension in the song), the costumes, the “adaayen”, and the utterly conventional lyrics, all make this one of the most memorable of Hindi film songs as far as I am concerned. Over three decades later Subhash Ghai would incorporate most of these elements in his “Choli ke Peeche Kya Hai”, but nothing renders this Guru Dutt classic superfluous.

    :-)

    The truth is more mundane — I was at work, and an emergency interrupted before I could get to 15!
