Baar Baar Din Ye Aaye, Tum Jiyo Hazaaron Saal ... Review on Top Ten Bollywood Birthday Songs

I dedicate my 500th review on MS to birthday songs from Hindi movies. Birthday is a significant annual occasion in a person's life and his near and dear ones as well who render their wishes to him / her on that day. Hindi movies have come up with many quality birthday songs. In my reviews of Admiring Songs, Joyous Songs and Children's Songs, I have covered many good birthday songs from Bollywood movies viz. Aai Hain Bahaaren Mite Zulm-o-Sitam(Ram Aur Shyam – 1967), Khushiyaan Hi Khushiyaan Hon Daaman Mein Jiske(Dulhan Wahi Jo Piya Mann Bhaaye - 1977), Juhi Ki Kali Meri Laadli(Dil Ek Mandir - 1963), Hum Bhi Agar Bachche Hote(Door Ki Aawaaz - 1964), O Nanhe Se Farishtay(Ek Phool Do Maali - 1969) etc. In this review, I am covering some other birthday songs which are as follows:

1. Baar Baar Din Ye Aaye, Baar Baar Dil Ye Gaaye, Tu Jiye Hazaaron Saal(Farz – 1967): This lovely song is the numero uno birthday song for me which has been sung by Mohammad Rafi giving playback for Jeetendra who sings it for Babita in the movie. Anand Bakshi's lyric has been composed by Laxmikant Pyarelaal.

I like a song - Pyar Deewana Hota Hai, Mastaana Hota Hai(Kati Patang – 1970) very much which is a very popular song of Kishore Kumar, the singer and Rajesh Khanna, the actor. It is also a song sung by the hero on the occasion of his birthday only in the movie. However its lyrics do not reflect this fact.
