Shammi & Shashi Kapoor Hospitalized

he Kapoor legends so to say, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor, brothers aged 79 and 72 respectively, are suffering from age related ailments. They both have been hospitalised for the past few days.

While Shammiji is suffering from kidney ailments and is recuperating at Breach Candy hospital, Shashiji is admitted at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri. Amitabh Bachchan who visited both at their respective hospitals tweeted and blogged about the visit, "went to visit Shashi Kapoor in hospital and pained to see him in such condition...prayers for him please." He also mentioned about the visit to Shammi Kapoor on his blog as he wrote, "I have been to visit Shammi Kapoor in hospital. He is unwell, in a different hospital. He was his most charming self as always and joked and laughed over his condition."

We hope both Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor will get better. Our prayers are with them.

Music of the Day - Hero (A musical love story of a Criminal)

Since I couldn't sleep much last night, in those boring, anxiety filled hours I got an idea to start sharing some of the interesting music on our blog while listening to radio.

The first few songs that I am putting here are from an Indian movie called "Hero", starring Jackie Sheroff, Meenakshi, Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Sanjeev Kumar etc.

Sanjeev Kumr looked so weirdly funny. He acted differently. It was a different from his other sober roles.

Enjoy the songs. They are a bit long in comparison to most songs we hear today, but I loved watching them again.

Tu Mera Janu Hai

Meenakshi looks very shareef. This is the stuff we grew up watching. The girl is in love with the guy but he is restraining himself because he is a criminal or is in denial thinking of their differences but actually they both love each other :)

Ding Dong
Look at the criminals, they look so simple and seedhay and loving...the girl is so comfortable with them :) Sanjeev Kumar the real cop sees them and still doesn't recognize them lol And Subhas Ghai also makes his special appearance here. It is said he loves to give such appearance in his movies.

Pyar Karney Wale
Lastly, the powerful love song in which the love birds stand up in front of the world for their love. Wah wah what a line, pyar karne wale kabhi dartay nahi, jo dartay hain woh pyar kartay nahi.
