I got 13/15 right away. #2 and #15 are the ones I needed help with as I hadn't heard those songs before this and had to peek to see which heroine. Nice Quiz. When I guessed each song, I had to wait for the song to finish playing in my head before I could go to next one These are all old songs and a nice trip down memory lane for old timers like me. Don't know if younger gen has even heard some of these.
@Jaysree ji We just know your love to old Bollywood songs. So, something is waiting for you here (check post#4).
Got 13 out of 15 right. No. 11 is my all time favourite ! Retro hindi songs any time stress buster/mood lifter. Even to this day , I do not miss the retro chitrahaar in DD (Tata sky) at 8 pm if I am home.
Highly emotive actress Sridevi would turn easily anybody’s favourite if & if only they had watched her performance in Tamil movie மூன்றாம் பிறை which was remade in Hindi too as SADMA (1983). Chandini was also dubbed into Telugu. In “Chandini” too her acting brilliance came afore, especially the scene in which she would dance breathless movements - shiv thandav! Both these movies, I must have watched umpteen times in VCR . I almost watched all her Tamil & Hindi movies. Thanks for nostalgia. Regards.
Prabodh Chandra Dey (May 1, 1919 - October 24, 2013) known by his stage name Manna Dey, was an internationally acclaimed and celebrated Indian playback singer, music director, and a musician. He is considered one of the most versatile vocalists of the Hindi film industry. He infused Indian classical music in a pop framework, like it very much or not. I often wonder how nice it would be to go back to the times when postal service was more used. The envelop would have a stamp of singer like Manna Dey. We would moisten the back of the envelop and carefully peel away the stamp, dry it with a soft cloth, flatten it and store it away in a safe place.
I created a fun quiz: Manna Dey Songs - solos, duets and chorus. The clue is given in English. You guess the song. Do not post answers below. Post only your score. Most are color, only three or four are B&W. The YouTube playlist link below has all the 11 answers!!! Check only when you are done with the quiz!!! Manna Dey Quiz ANSWERS!!!!!
Thanks Anisu! That was fast! : ) 7 out of the first 8 is good. The last three are bit less known.. unless one listens to them often they are hard to recall.
Wow !! I got all the 11 songs, just from the english meaning, didnt even have to read the movie description - But, I must admit, I never knew that some of these songs were sung by Manna Dey! Awesome list!
