“Sahaara” (1958) is one of those movies that have been totally forgotten with time. But when one watches the movie, or listens to the songs, one realises that this movie and/or its songs deserve to be much better known instead of lying forgotten.

“Chakradhaari” (1954) was a B grade religious/mythological movie. It is that kind of movie which are given a miss by the mainstream movie watching public and only “lowbrow” movie watchers watch such movies, mostly in small towns.

“Anhonee” (1952) is one of the lesser known movies with Raj Kapoor and Nargis in it. The movie apparently failed at the box office. The songs of this movie are decent songs to listen to, though.

I was not aware of this movie called “Aage Badho” (1947). As I can see, this movie had Dev Anand and Khursheed in lead roles.

II have barely heard of this movie called “Maharaja” (1970). This movie had Sanjay Khan and Nutan in it, and this movie must have sung without a trace when it was released in 1970. To this day, I have not been able to understand how Sanjay Khan made it in Hindi movies as a hero. I in fact wonder if he ever had a loyal fan following that most heroes have.Compared to him, someone like Shashi Kapoor (whom I regard as no good) should be regarded as a superstar. If one has to make a list of movies that succeeded because of Sanjay Khan, one may well draw a blank. I am not at all surprised if this movie “Maharaja” (1970) fell miserably at the box office.

By late 1950s, Meena Kumari was moving over from happy bubbly roles to weepy sentimental roles. “Dil Apna Aur Preet Paraayi” (1960) is one of the first such movies where Meena Kumari was seen in such a role, though her role here is not as melodramatic as it would become in her subsequent movies.
