Designed by Ramki Krishnan, this is a quiz that has been popular among GOSH solvers in our Whatsapp group. We are bringing it to a wider audience through the blog.
The objective is to identify the mukhada of Hindi film songs. Each question gives a clue about a Hindi film song. Based on the clue, you have to guess the mukhada of the song.
Some clues give a translation of the antara of the song in English (may not be verbatim!), others describe the picturization of the song, others give a snippet of interlude music etc.
There are 7 songs to be identified in this quiz.
Bonus: Once all the 7 songs are identified, you will see that there is a connect that links all the songs in sequence. Identify it.
Quiz designed by: Ramki Krishnan
Here are the solutions
Q1) Here is the translation of 2 lines from the antara of the song. Guess the mukhada.
If you say so, the moon will not set tonight.
Halt this night – we have only tonight, not the rest of our lives.
Additional hint: This movie stirred up quite a storm when it was released!
Q2) Translation of the antara again – guess the mukhada
If someone comes searching for us, they won’t be able to find us. Somewhere.. You hide me, and I will hide you.
Additional hint: There have been 3 movies released with this name (with different tag lines) – one featuring Dilip Kumar, one with Rajesh Khanna and one featuring Sanjay Dutt.
Q3) Identify the song from the pic.
Additional hint: The actor (seen in pic) won the National award for best supporting actor in this movie.
Q4) Identify the song from the picturization given below.
The husband and wife are both artistes. The wife (who is indeed the more talented of the two) slowly starts to overshadow the husband in fame. Through the course of this song, you can see how she becomes more popular and how the husband’s pride and jealousy increases (which eventually leads to a rift). Ironically, the song conveys that her happiness lies only with him!
Additional hint: None required!
Q5) Translation of the antara – guess the mukhada
Friends do not meet like this
Give me the response of love with love
Additional hint: A peppy duet from the 70’s, the actor-actress were married couple in real life too!
Q6) Identify the song from the background music clip (Additional hint: The 2 lead stars from clue no. 4 feature in this song too)
Q7) Guess the song from the pic.
Additional (cryptic clue)
