Celebrating 58 Years of Teesri Manzil: A Timeless Bollywood Classic (21/10/1966).
Teesri Manzil (1966), directed by Vijay Anand and produced by Nasir Hussain, is a classic Bollywood musical mystery. Released on 21 October 1966, it stars Shammi Kapoor and Asha Parekh, with Helen and Prem Chopra in supporting roles. The film became a huge box office success, especially for its unforgettable music by R.D. Burman, marking his first major breakthrough in Hindi cinema.
Known for its thrilling mystery, tight storytelling, and superb performances, Teesri Manzil is ranked among the top 25 must-watch Bollywood films by Indiatimes Movies. Its soundtrack, featuring Mohammed Rafi’s voice and hit songs like "Aaja Aaja" and "Oh Haseena Zulfon Waali," was a major highlight. The film’s musical brilliance and dance sequences, especially with Helen, set new trends.
The film’s emotional depth is reflected in the song "Tumne Mujhe Dekha," which was shot while Shammi Kapoor was mourning the death of his wife, Geeta Bali. His poignant performance in this scene added a layer of realism to the film.
Despite the DVD versions running for 145 minutes, compared to the original 175-minute theater cut, Teesri Manzil continues to be a fan favorite, now available uncut on YouTube and streaming on ZEE5.

Propaganda
Natalie Wood (West Side Story, The Great Race)—She went through so much shit which I know can be said for all these women but Natalie really was a star and her death often overshadows her career and life. She could make you cry, but she also had the capacity to be incredibly funny which I think is lost on people.
Helen (Howrah Bridge, China Town, Teesri Manzil)— Helen might be stretching the definition of "star" a little bit as she was a dancer rather than a leading lady, but her Hotness is absolutely unassailable. She choreographed her own dances, designed her own costumes, overall has a mind-bogglingly wild life story, and survived it all to turn 85 in November. I ADORE her.
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Natalie Wood:
Helen propaganda:
"Was not technically a leading lady, but played the sexy roles good girls couldn't play, before dying so the hero could marry the good girl. BOLLYWOOD ICON also survived the Japanese invasion of Burma by walking from Rangoon to Assam aged four or five but this is less related to her hotness"

Kya Baat Hai ?
I bumped into a DOST over the weekend, who said-
2023 me Chamak Rahe ho,
Sports viewing parties, Dancing, WhatsApping and now Writing…
Kya Baat Hai ?
His question had me thinking over the last few days which led to start pondering on the last year…
In 2022 me to aisa haal tha
Tum itna jo muskharo rahe ho,
Kya gum hai jisko chupa rahe ho,
Covid ke baad WFH hai Mukkadar,
Apne se aur apno se Maat khaye ja rahe ho.
Phir bhi Dil ko mana kar, kabhi thoda muskuraaye to asia laga
Muskuraaye to muskuraane ke Karz utaarne honge Muskuraun kabhi to lagta hai Jaise hothon pe karz rakha hai Ho..tujhse naaraz nahi zindagi hairaan hoon main
2023 ringed in with a bang, thanks to a happening party hosted by one of my friends, but when the Hangover got over on the next day and got back to work the day after, the familiar sinking feeling of Hairaani started coming back again…
Kaisi udasi tere chehre pe chhayi Kya baat hai jo teri aankh bhar aai
-------
Purani jeans aur guitar Mohalle ki vo chhat Aur mere yaar
Woh dil mein sochna Kar ke kuch dikha dein Woh karna planning Roz nayi yaar
Bas yaadein yaadein Yaadein reh jaati hain Kuch chhoti chhoti Baatein reh jaati hain
Kya aab sirf Yaadein and Baatein reh gaye hai ?
Jab College Khatam Kiya tha…
Papa kehte the bada naam karega Beta hamara aisa kaam karega Magar yeh to koi na jaane Ki meri manzil hai kahan
Aaj Itne Salo ke baad, kya mujhe mere Manzil mili hai ya Teesri Manzil se kudne ka waqt aa gaya hai ?
Manzile Apni Jagah Hai
Raste Apni Jagah
Dosto kya mere raste chaloge, mere manzil dhoondane ya
Ye Safar yahi khatam karke, apki suffering yahi khatam kare.. LMK
Tanha Dil signing off … to embark on his Tanha Safar

Top Timeless RD Burman Hits Every Bollywood Fan Should Know
Rahul Dev Burman, affectionately known as Pancham Da, is a name that resonates with music lovers worldwide. In the golden era of Bollywood, RD Burman emerged as a trailblazer, infusing traditional Indian melodies with Western influences and creating a unique, unforgettable sound. His ability to blend various genres, experiment with instruments, and capture emotions through music made him one of the most celebrated music directors in Indian cinema. In this article, we dive into how RD Burman redefined Bollywood music and why his influence is still felt in the industry today.
The Early Years: Shaping an Icon
RD Burman was born into a musical family; his father, SD Burman, was one of Bollywood’s most respected music composers. However, RD Burman was not content to simply follow in his father’s footsteps. He sought to carve out his own niche, drawing inspiration from a range of musical influences beyond the borders of India. Growing up, he was exposed to jazz, rock ’n’ roll, and Latin music, which left a profound impact on his style.
Pancham Da’s curiosity and openness to different sounds were apparent from the very beginning of his career. His training and immersion in diverse musical styles allowed him to become a bridge between Eastern and Western music traditions, setting the stage for a revolutionary career in Bollywood.
Innovation in Sound: Fusing Genres
RD Burman’s musical genius lay in his ability to experiment and take risks. He understood that Bollywood music was ripe for innovation and daring compositions, and he used his talents to bring fresh, unconventional sounds to the industry. Unlike many composers of his time, Burman wasn’t afraid to mix genres, blending Western jazz, rock, and disco with traditional Indian ragas and folk music.
This fusion was exemplified in songs like “Mehbooba Mehbooba” from the movie Sholay, where he incorporated Middle Eastern rhythms with Indian elements. The result was an electrifying melody that became an instant classic. Similarly, in the song “Dum Maro Dum” from Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Burman introduced psychedelic rock elements to Hindi film music. These daring choices not only set him apart from his contemporaries but also changed Bollywood music forever, making it more globally relevant and appealing.
Instrumentation and Rhythm: Creating Unconventional Sounds
Burman’s innovative use of instruments added a unique flavor to his compositions. He frequently used instruments that were uncommon in Indian music, like the harmonica, synthesizer, and electric guitar. One of his hallmark creations, “Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko” from Yaadon Ki Baaraat, used a clinking glass and a guitar as its opening sound — a decision that was radical for Bollywood music at the time.
In another example, for the song “O Haseena Zulfonwali” from Teesri Manzil, Burman combined rock drums, brass sections, and traditional Indian tabla rhythms, creating a sound that was both modern and rooted in Indian tradition. His understanding of rhythm and tempo was so profound that he could seamlessly switch between fast-paced numbers and soft, soulful ballads. This versatility allowed him to craft songs that appealed to a wide range of emotions and audiences.
Emotional Depth and Storytelling in Music
RD Burman’s music wasn’t just about catchy beats and innovative instrumentation; it was also deeply emotional and narrative-driven. He understood the importance of aligning the music with the storyline and characters of each film. His ability to bring out the emotional nuances in his compositions made his songs timeless.
In “Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi” from Masoom, Burman crafted a haunting melody that perfectly conveyed the emotional struggle and innocence of the characters. This song, with its minimal instrumentation and soulful composition, remains a heart-wrenching classic that resonates with listeners across generations. Burman’s skill in conveying mood and story through music allowed his compositions to stand as standalone works of art, even beyond the films they were originally written for.
The Legacy of RD Burman: A Lasting Influence
Although RD Burman faced periods of professional struggle, particularly during the late 1980s when the Bollywood music scene shifted, his music saw a resurgence in popularity after his passing. Today, his songs are celebrated by listeners of all ages, and his compositions are frequently remixed and reimagined for new generations. His timeless music serves as a source of inspiration for contemporary composers who seek to bring innovation to Bollywood.
RD Burman’s influence can be heard in the works of many modern composers, who continue to adopt his techniques, such as genre fusion and creative instrumentation, to bring something new to the industry. His legacy is a testament to the power of creative risk-taking and the enduring appeal of music that speaks to the heart and soul.
Conclusion
RD Burman was more than a music composer; he was a visionary whose creative genius broke barriers and set new standards for Bollywood music. By daring to be different and blending Western and Indian sounds, he opened doors for future composers and introduced Indian audiences to a whole new world of music. His compositions have not only withstood the test of time but continue to captivate listeners with their richness, emotional depth, and innovation.
If you haven’t yet experienced the magic of RD Burman’s music, now is the perfect time to dive in. Rediscover his timeless hits on your favorite streaming platforms, and let the melodies of Pancham Da transport you to an era of Bollywood where music knew no bounds.

Remembering the legendary #ShammiKapoor on his 93rd birth anniversary (21/10). Born Shamsher Raj Kapoor, he became a Bollywood icon known for his energetic performances and unique style. His early career faced challenges, but he rose to fame with Tumsa Nahi Dekha (1957) and Junglee (1961), establishing himself as a leading star and dancer in Hindi cinema.
Kapoor's success continued throughout the 1960s with popular films like Kashmir Ki Kali, Teesri Manzil, and Brahmachari, which won him a Filmfare Award for Best Actor. In the 1970s, he transitioned to supporting roles in movies like Vidhaata and Prem Rog. His final film appearance was in Rockstar (2011), marking the end of a career that spanned over five decades and included more than 100 films.
Known for his stylish persona and signature dance moves, Shammi Kapoor earned the nickname "Yahoo Star," and his influence in Bollywood is often compared to that of Elvis Presley. He was featured in Box Office India’s top actors list and recognized as one of the most stylish figures in Indian cinema.
Kapoor's personal life saw him marrying actress Geeta Bali in 1955. After her death, he married Neila Devi in 1969. He passed away in 2011 at the age of 79 due to kidney failure, but his legacy as one of Bollywood’s most beloved and iconic stars endures.
