My Pakistani colleague in Melbourne gave me a CD of Waheed Murad's songs many years ago. Got hooked after that. Couldn't help notice the similarity between Indian and Pakistani films, themes, music, songs from that 60s era. It was almost like I had discovered a world that I knew very well, but was unaware of . Listen to Dharmendra/Hemant Kumar's "Ya dil ki suno dunia walo" and Waheed Murad/Mehdi Hassan's "Yeh Kagzi phool" and you will know what I mean. Heart sinks when I think what subcontinent as a whole could have been!
