[Upaasna 1971 Full Movie 263
Oludare Padilla
Upaasna (transl. Devotion) is a 1971 Bollywood drama film directed by Mohan. The film stars Sanjay Khan, Mumtaz and Feroz Khan. The film has a very melodious song "Aao Tumhe Main Pyaar Sikha Du, Sikhla Do Na". Other songs are "Darpan Ko Dekha" and "Meri Jawani Pyaar Ko Tarse".
'Meri Jawani' from 'Upaasna' was the very first Bollywood song I took notice of. It was being played at a club somewhere, and I subsequently did something I otherwise never do (far too self-conscious), namely ask the DJ what it was. Thus possibly planting the seeds for my interest in the genre. It's an outstanding track, from the 4-minute multi-layered intro (bossa nova, cool jazz, wild percussion) to the wonderfully poppy song itself. Love at first listen. Nothing wrong with the rest of the album either (horrendously lousy sound notwithstanding), especially the two other songs that make up the LP's side 2. And the furious 'Mujh Ko To Pina Hai'. A great soundtrack. (And such a cool cover.)
Incidently, the LP's label states "Recording first published 1975", while most movie sites list 'Upaasna' as being from 1971. I have no idea though if the latter are wrong (or if they all have their info from the IMBb, which is riddled with mistakes) or they just waited four years before releasing the album.
