The fact that this “Amaanat”, starring Manoj Kumar and Sadhana was described as a 1977 release always intrigued me and many others since the songs of this movie were popular from much earlier. The timeless classic song, viz. Matlab nikal gaya hai to pahchaante nahin is from this movie and I recall hearing this song since my pre teen years i.e. right from early 1970s if not earlier.

“Ek Thhi Reeta” (1971) is a recent movie by the standards of this blog, yet that has not prevented it from becoming an obscure movie nearly as soon as this movie was released. This movie was produced and directyed by Roop K Shorey. The movie had Vinod Mehra, Rehman, Yogiraj, I. S. Johar, Tanuja, Pompi, Mona Mullick, Manmohan Krishna, Madhu Kumar, Lolita Chatterjee, Daisy Irani, Faryal etc ion it and the movie must have sunk without a trace seeing that I had not heard of this movie during 1971 when I was a precocious kid keen to know about everything.

“Ek Hi Raasta”(1956) was produced and directed by B R Chopra. As was his wont, this movie too was on a socially progressive theme of widow remarriage which was quite bold for the time and as a result it was a commercially risky proposition for the movie. But B R Chopra pulled it off and the movie became a commercial success and it was critically acclaimed too.

Talking about romantic pairing in Hindi films, Nanda – Shashi Kapoor pairing is probably the most attractive pair in the 60s. It is interesting to note their career graphs. Both of them started off in the films as child artists. Nanda’s father, Master Vinayak, passed away when she was just 8 years old. She was obliged to start working in films as a child artist, Baby Nanda, due to financial difficulties at home. On the other hand, as a child, Shashi was part of the already famous Kapoor clan, and the youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor. And with all his family seniors in the cine business, it was only natural that followed their footsteps. He too appeared in many films as a child artist.

When I saw the lyrics of this song sent by Prakashchandra, who mentioned it as a rare melodious duet, I wondered what was this rare song. When I played this song, I immediately recognised this song as one that I had heard in the past without being aware of its details.
