Re: My ten favorite Helen songs

Thanks so much Memsaab for doing such a very good job with your wonderful post My ten favorite Helen songs. From Memsaab's list I especially like the Upasna and Apradh songs ( it' so bad most people don't even know that the second (Helen song from Apradh) is where the Black Eyed Peas took there inspiration (or copied) for the song "Don't Funk with My Heart", plus the intro to 'Don't Funk with my heart" is the beginning of "Yeh Mera Dil" from Don 1978). Anyway, thanks for those. But after seeing it I wanted more. There are so many more delightful songs from Helen of Bombay that I could not resist. I just had to post them.

My choices where made according to the music, the visuals and the Helenness (which I prefer with the kitsch turned a little bit down).

Here are my picks.

10. Jewel Thief (1967)

Good music by S. D. Burman. I want those tights!!!




9. Sachchai (1969)

Helen and a blue haired Shammi Kapoor.




8. Pagla Kahin Ka (1970)

Appearance by K. N. Singh (bad guy in Awaara).




7. Who Kaun Thi (1964)

Love the 60's look.




6. Don (1978)

A classic, I love this song. Asha Bhosle and Helen together equals magic.





5. Geeta Mera Naam (1974)

Again great music, also Helen dancing with a fat man in a skin-tight one piece suit. What more do you want?





4. Talash (1969)

Helen at her cabaret best.




3. Hulchul (1971)
This is simply a great musical story with Helen telling us to all get along, OR ELSE! BOOM! And I would not contradict miss Helen.




2. Caravan (1971)

Oh Monica? My Darling! Classic.




1. Anamika (1973)

This is my favorite because the music (R. D. Burman) and the little story mix so well, you just want more.

Also, I drew this picture of Helen a while ago, and I forgot it was from which movie. Does any one know? Thanks
