THE EVER FAMOUS & MOST HEARTWARMING SONG;
“QUE CERA CERA (whatever will be…will be!)”
Well it just happened in Glasgow last year in November
that I came across a BLIND street musician at
the Town Centre…who was playing
most nostalgic melodies in that freezing cold weather.
Upon my request…he played the classic number
**from **“THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH”
while I hummed…and filmed the musical on
my cellphone video…I was promptly joined
by a drunk hobo…who swooned and forced
upon me to embrace him:)
Enjoy…

Dilip as a village man & Nadra as Rajkumari of Tamba
were best in Mehboob’s AAN (1959) which was
on RAJ ERA and was declared a BLOCKBUSTER
***with its songs on just about every lip of Indo-Pakistan Sub Continent populace! ***
The vidclip you are to see presents one of the most talked about
dance scene–when the Rajkumari is finally convinced about Raj’s (Dilip)
love for her – carefully watch her steps…and that’s a classy
***choreography…I must say;

It was from Sony’s mega-hit series;

Nausheen Ali Sardar in his serial ANA we did in Dubai
