Articles on Hindi Films

I am a big fan of Woody Allen's films. More than 20 years ago, I was watching one of his films that was a musical. Everybody was singing and dancing. In one scene a guy is singing a song in a  cab with a Sikh taxi driver. Suddenly the Sikh starts singing a Hindi song, in a voice similar to that of Rafi. I immediately went to the end credits to discover that  it was the RMIMer Sanjeev Ramabhadran singing!

Rafi 87

In the beginning of this song, I am hearing an instrument for the first time. No idea what it is. Please help.

 Listen to Daku Mangal Singh (1966)

 

Listen to Charlie as he says Dhak a dozen times while a clock is ticking. This is the earliest example where  I have heard this being done.
