SE01E03: Buddha Mil Gaya
Episode 3
Saturday, 21 May, 2022
In 1964, came a Bollywood film—Sangam (Confluence)—that, for the first time, saw a wife take matters in her hand and bring sleaze and the ensuing talk of decency, indecency, what’s right for men and what’s wrong for women—quite literally—into the bedroom; all with slacks and a sassy number—Buddha Mil Gaya (Got Myself an Old Man)—as her sidekick. This episode is all about the sass of that number and the number itself. 00:00: Raj Kapoor: Family 01:01: Raj Kapoor: Films 01:34: Raj Kapoor: Style 02:04: Raj Kapoor: Film Music 02:48: The Song: Details 03:23: Sangam: Plot 04:05: When Does The Song Show Up? 04:27: The Events Leading up to The Song 05:13: Is Sunder A Gentleman at All? 05:54: Is Radha Meek at All? 06:59: The Script Writer And Bollywood in the 60s 07:20: When Do the Bagpipes Start to Play? 07:52: Radha Dances and How! 08:42: Radha and Sunder: Sleaze Talk 10:39: Sleaze Talk Analysis 12:03: First Verse 13:15: Second Verse 14:04: Third Verse 15:01: The Aftermath of The Song 16:04: Lata The Diva 19:03: The Man, The Wife, and The Affair 20:34: Do I Recommend The Song at All? 20:57: The Wrap-up 21:50: Disclaimer and Intention of The Podcast Watch the music video of the song here: https://cutt.ly/rHFb1Gn
