song????

aimeeestarr on November 19, 2008
The movie came out in 1956.

csjadore01 on December 25, 2008
This song was rated the best ever song sung having city name 'Bombay'.

dreadadiplomat on January 06, 2009
funny how even back in the day, bollywood was stealing from America...This
is exact tune of My Darling Clementine 1946

heydude4444 on February 04, 2009
oh, calm down with those accusations dreadadiplomat, ya jerkface! :-) If you had bothered to do a little quick research (aka web searching), you'd see that the song wasn't an EXACT copy as you're suggesting -- the writer was inspired by Clementine, but to say it's the same tune is hogwash -- people just have to search for clementine on youtube and they'll hear the differences.

dreadadiplomat on February 04, 2009
1st, I didn't realize I was not calm and 2nd It's all inspired isn't it? So
easy to be inspired to change the language and keep the rhythm. What an
easy excuse. I recognize good bollywood music/movies, but when movies
ranging from 'Overboard' to 'Rat Race" and music ranging from 'Cotton Eyed
Joe' to Korean or Turkish marching songs are merely inspired, then it's a
lil too much. I mean even the name Bollywood is inspired from Hollywood

heydude4444 on February 06, 2009
i meant no offense by 'calm down'...that was just tongue-in-cheek, so no hard feelings :) most art/music/lit/etc can probably be traced back to some previous work of art/music/lit that inspired it, but i agree in general that bollywood certainly needs more originality...besides, the times that it has been fairly original have been received well -- think of flix like lagaan, munna bhai, etc. PS this explanation itself was partly inspired by the south park ep 'simpsons already did it'! ;)

Once while travelling in a Mumbai local train, I saw this middle aged man playing the mouth organ on the tune of a hindi song. He didnt beg but I think he took what people gave. I noticed, no 1 gave him anything. I really liked what he was playin & gave him Rs. 5 as appreciation. To my absolute shock this man bows to me n says, " Thank u Sir, this 1 is for u". He then played this tune for 2 min standing in front of me. He got off the next station.The song seemed to depict his life in Bombay.

Yes I am. I also teach music. I have worked with many world class musicians
such as Girija Devi, Sitara Devi, Zakir Hussain and others.

naveedhassan on July 31, 2009
there is no music director who has not copied. every one and i say every
music director today has lifted some song or the other.

sonny19xx on March 14, 2010
great song . the mukhda is a straight lift from " my darling clementine"
the rest is ofcourse OP's . That means the rhythm of the song is also a
straight lift. The heart of the song is yet the mukhda. Iam a diehard fan
of OPN. But facts are facts and ought to be admitted. THANKS junkers1980

sonny19xx on March 14, 2010
@dreadadiplomat yes you are right

Awesome - my Dad used to hum this song to me as I rode with him over 30
years ago. Thank you very much. Which movie is it and who is the singer?
Thanks so much once again - this song does have the ability to transport
one along the sands of time, AJ
