Dev Anand’s dedication and commitment to the medium and the industry is well visible to all. Past the seventies when the box office appeal had shifted to the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Sanjeev Kumar, and Vinod Khanna etc., he continued to be at the helm of film making, and continued to produce and direct films with an uncanny regularity, all the way till his departure from this world. Majority of his later films did not attract much critical or commercial attention, but nonetheless, that did not deter him from his work and his passion.

“Zehreela Insaan”(1974), Rishi Kapoor’s second release flopped badly at the box-office. Prakashchandra, a dedicated contributor to this blog, has commented on it here. This film was also the first one to have Rishi-Neetu pairing. Rishi Kapoor has two heroines to romance in this film. The first is Moushumi Chatterjee, whose father marries her off to somebody else. His sadness at the loss is short, he meets another girl at his college with whom he falls in love with. The song yeh silsila pyaar se chalaa marks the beginning of this tempestuous love story.

This song is a title song picturized with the titles of the film. Come to think of it, Jagdeep was lip synching Rafi songs as far back as in 1956. In this song, he is doing a Charlie Chaplin like comeo scene of getting up in the morning and greeting the birds, hence the song is ‘ lo bhor huyi panchhi nikle ‘ .

Remembering (belatedly) Vijay Anand on the anniversary of his passing away (23 Feb, 2004).
Really very few artists and film makers in the industry have been as versatile as Vijay Anand has been. Active in the industry since the early 1950s, Vijay is the youngest of the three Anand brothers. He did have an advantage of two elder siblings, Chetan Anand and Dev Anand, having made a place for themselves in the industry, when he also decided to take the plunge. And under the umbrella of his illustrious seniors, he had the opportunity to delve and develop a multi faceted career. In a career that spans more than five decades, Vijay Anand, or Goldie as he was known to his friends, made his mark as a screenplay and dialogue writer, as a director, as a producer, as an editor, and as an actor. His works are limited, given the span of his career, but the quality of his work speaks for itself. The films he has directed are outstanding, and he is acknowledged as the best director for picturization of songs, in the Indian film industry. In this aspect of film making, which is supremely significant given the musical nature of Indian cinema, he is without a peer.

We are having exactly 400 songs composed by S D Burman, 647 of Majrooh and 2210 songs by Lata Mangeshkar in the blog. I am wondering exactly how many of these songs composed by S D Burman are written by Majrooh and sung by Lata. If such an information about all songs of S D Burman or Lata or Majrooh was available in one place in the excel sheet format, than it would be so easy to access that figure.
