Despite all the controversy regarding her feeling Bimal Roy Essays enough to deter all competition to her Numero Uno position in Hindi films, I adore her. You have precious memories of your favourites. I selected Ja ja re ja balamwa at 2. This one is to my ear.

Its raag is Jhinjhoti and tal is Tintal. Why would a song picturised on a courtesan evoke such strong feelings in me?

The Actress Kumkum
In the movie Amrapali based on a true storythe king Ajatashatru wages a war to get her Vyjayanthimala in the title role and she finally takes to Buddhism! By the way, Amrapali had some Biml Bimal Roy Essays best songs including the iconic Tumhen yaad Bimal Roy Essays karte jaayegi rayn saari also created for her by the team of Shailendra and Shanakar Jaikishan. Vyjayanthimala in the title role of the film Amrapali enacting the song Tumhen yaad karte karte. In the Raja Nawathe movie Basant Bahar too, Kumkum as the dancing girl Radhika is dancing in the presence of the Emperor, played by Chandrashekhar and naturally the emotions she conveys are the emotions of the queen. Hindi films directors of yore, often used the courtesans to express the feelings of the heroines eg in Chhote Nawab song, the Eszays song of RD Burman with Lata ji composed in Raag Malgunji : Ghar aaja ghir aaye badraa saanwariya.
The Movie Basant Bahar I would place the movie as iconic as far as its songs are concerned.
