| Baila is a ceylonese version of the carribean calypso..the erotic and ribald, yet poignantly singing about pains of human relationships and its joys. Baila is quite popular in Tamil Nadu. An all time hit. Sung frequently at drinking parties. This song is from a film Veera Thiru Magan. Karunanithi and another appear in this dance as eunuchs. The music is by Vishwanathan & Rama Murthy. circa 1964 |  | Sri 420 From Raj Kapoor's Sri 420... a hit of mid 50s. Some one said jocularly that this song - mera jootha hai japani is very appropritate to be the theme song, summing up the gist of what we have achieved in the last FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM.! |
