Ye jo public hai ye sab jaanti hai
Posted on: May 8, 2009
Rajesh Khanna was the reigning superstar in early 1970s and Kishore Kumar was the reigning king among male playback singer. and both of them has annexed their crowns almost at the same time.
And it was no coincidence that much of playback singing for Rajesh Khanna was done by Kishore Kumar. Most of these songs became very popular and remain so even today.
Here is a very popular song from “Roti” (1974). It is sung by Kishore Kumar and picturised on Rajesh Khanna. Mumtaz and Jeewan are also there in this picturisation. Anand Bakshi wrote this song and Laxmikant Pyarelal composed the lilting music of this song.

Thanks Atul, wonderful song especially during election season! Great minds think alike Memsaab ji. Manmohan Desai said somewhere that after Aa gale lag ja this was closest to his heart 
Very under rated but a jubilee hit when it released.

I was not aware that this was a Manmohan Desai movie. Somehow I thought that Manmohan Desai made movies only with Amitabh Bachchan. Of course, he made movies with Rajesh Khanna and before him with Raj Kapoor too.
And yes, the songs of this movie are outstanding.

Yes, indeed. In fact, the song “John Jaani Janardan” in the movie “Naseeb” brings together all actors who worked with him. And in that gathering we had Dharmendra too, in addition to Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan.

This is a fabulous song, as are all the songs from this film. One of Manmohan Desai’s best, IMHO
