And thus passes away a legend of Hindi cinema.
Though the magic of Shammi Kapoor was experienced by generations away from the one I grew up in. His songs, and the stylish, light-hearted portrayal of the romantic hero was quite popular during my growing up years too thanks to weekly movies and the chitrahaar sessions on DD.
In the later years, his warm grandfather image in ads like Pan Parag and a few movies was also quite endearing.
May you rest in peace!
Leaving you with some super awesome, unforgettable, evergreen melodies that have been synonymous with the epic that is Shammi Kapoor. And this is going to be one long play list - a good companion for your Sunday...
- Tumse achha kaun hai...
- Badan pe sitaare lapete hue...
- Yeh chaand sa roshan chehera...
- Deewana hua badal...
Baar baar dekho...
- Kahin na kahin...
- Akele akela kahan jaa rahe ho...
- O haseena zulfon waali...
- Deewana mujha sa nahin...
- Tumne mujhe dekha...
- Aaj kal tere mere pyaar ke charche...
- Aaja aaja main hun pyaar tera
- Aasman se aaya farishta...
And I could go on and on...what are your favorite Shammi Kapoor numbers? Some big ones that I'm forgetting?
