… thoda resham lagta hai
thoda sheesha lagta hai
heere moti jadte hain
thoda sona lagta hai ..

Lata Mangeshkar & Bappi Lahiri
हम्म पहली बार, हाँ पहली बार
इक लड़की मेरा हाथ पकड़कर
बोली हाँ रे हाँ
“..chahiye thoda pyar ,
thoda pyar chahiye ..”
“.. pyar maanga hai tumhi se
na inkaar karo ,
paas baitho zara aaj to
ikraar karo ..”
“.. bambai se aaya mera dost
dost ko salaam karo ..”
“ .. chalte chalte
mera ye geet yaad rakhna
kabhi alvida na kehna ..”
“.. maana ho tum behad haseen
aise bure hum bhi nahi ..”

“ On the day that S.D. Burman had booked the studio to record this song for Dev Anand's Tere Mere Sapne in 1970, Bombay's transportation network was shut down because of overnight torrential rains.

None of the musicians could make it to the studio. Only SD Burman, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar and a tabla player were present.

Instead of cancelling the recording, Burman da called Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma & Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia and requested them to help him out with the recording.

Here is the magic created by the santoor, flute, tabla, Lata, Kishore and the genius SD”

Balu Mahendra’s beautifully shot Malayalam film ‘Olangal’ (1982) is based on Erich Segal’s novel ‘Man Woman & Child’.

Shekhar Kapur’s Hindi adaptation ‘Masoom’ released next year.

But, the film’s lasting legacy is an unforgettable tune by the king of melody ILAYARAJA. #Thread Image
This song from Malaylam film ‘Olangal’ is filmed on Amol Palekar & Poornima.

Composer: Ilayaraja
Lyricist: ONV Kurup
Singer: S. Janaki.

“..thumbi vaa thumba kudathin thunjathaay unjaalidam ..”
The second version is in Tamil film ‘Auto Raja’. The soundtrack is composed by Shankar-Ganesh, except this song by Ilayaraja.

Unlike the original, this is a duet, with Ilayaraja himself joining S. Janaki as a singer.

Lyricist: Pulamaipithan
