Shemaroo releases a compilation of kids film songs

Shemaroo

MUMBAI: In this age, when the kids market is flooded with video games, rhymes and bed-time stories, animation films and educational CD-ROMs, home video major Shemaroo has come out with a VCD of children's film songs titled Chupa Chupi Khelen Aao.

This is a collection of popular children's songs down the years. The songs look to capture the innocence and impishness associated with children brought up on Indian values.

The compilation begins with India's answer to The Sound of Music and Do Re Me with Sa Re Ke Sa Re from Parichay. It then moves on to a song from Mr. India with the philosophical Zindagi Ki Yehi Reet Hai. The theme song Chhupa Chupi Khelen Aao follows with a host of children teaming up with Dream Girl Hema Malini. Padmini Kolhapure, Khushboo & Madhoo sang as kids and they later went on to become stars in their own right.

The compilation then takes a nostalgic turn, taking today's kids through a ride of all-time children's songs like Ichak Daana Bichak Daana (Shree 420), Nanhe Munne Bachche Teri Mutthi Mein Kya Hai (Bootpolish), Chun Chun Karti Aayee Chidiya ( Ab Dilli Door Nahin) etc.

This gives kids a peek into the songs their parents and elders enjoyed as children. The new millennium is represented by Give me a bell to ring from the film Rahul.
