Woh Chup Rahen To is one of my favorite ghazals -- hats off to Madan Mohan for creating this (and myriad others such) beautiful-soulful musical gem(s). All these songs are on one side, and Rain Is Falling Chhama-chham-chham (who was the music director -- shyam sundar?) is on the other! ;-) P.S. And don't even get me started on Anu Malik's Dekho Barish Ho Rahi Hai...! P.P.S. I do like Abhi Zinda Hoon To Jee Lene Do from Naajayaz though - in spite of Sanu's nasal atyachar. Nice collection!

I loved that first one from the Satyajit Ray movie. How old is that movie? I didnt know miyan ki malhar was associated with rain, although with this I see it. In carnatic, it is the raga amrithavarshini, which has a totally different melodic feel compared to this one. In the South we are been psychologically wired to associate that one with rain :) - just like it is miyan ki malhar in the North. Nice. I loved that first one from the Satyajit Ray movie.

I can't differentiate between ragas that well, but I believe Mehdi Hassan's Konpalen phir fut ayi fits in here - one of my favorites, though not a film song. Regarding Bharat Bhooshan's wooden face, I have a theory: the more wooden and expressionless face of an actor, the more number of good songs he used to get. Rajendra Kumar, Pradeep, etc. are some examples. :) Beautiful collage of selections!
