#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

The song in this post is going to give a big surprise to everyone. I am sure about that. Even I was surprised when I listened to it for this post. Though I have presented a song from this movie in the past but I was not aware about this song. After listening to this song it sounds familiar but I have no idea why.

This song is from an un-released movie ‘Bahaadur Jiskaa Naam’ from the decade of 1970s. As per information given in Hindi Film Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1971-1980) this movie was directed by K.A. Narayan for ‘Rangamma Films’. The cast of this movie is mentioned as Ashok Kumar, Pran, Prem Nath, I.S. Johar and Vidya Sinha. Geet Kosh lists four songs from this movie leaving space for other songs that would have been recorded for this movie but which are not known or may be these were not released on records.

‘Shrimaanji’ (1968) was produced and directed by Ram Dayal under his banner, Mukul Enterprises. The cast included Kishore Kumar, I S Johar, Jeevan, Asha Nadkarni, Meena Rai, Shahida, Asit Sen, Wasti, Murad, Ram Kamlani, Hiralal, Neelam, W M Khan, Veena, Madhumati, Sharifa etc.

With Kishore Kumar and I S Johar in the main roles, apparently, the film belongs to comedy genre. However, the first 30 minutes of the film is melodramatic. It is only when the two protagonists turn to their adulthoods, the story gets switched over to comedy until the last about 30 minutes when the story turns into a murder and court room drama. There is no actress in the lead role in the film.
