I was not even aware that there was a Dev Anand movie called “Mahal”(1969). Of course I have heard the songs of this movie, without being aware that the song I was listening to was from this movie.

There was one thing common between O P Nayyar and S D Burman in 1950s. Both did not work with Lata and used the voice of Asha Bhonsle instead. And that helped Asha Bhonsle’s career no end.

“Johny Mera Naam” (1970) was perhaps the last time a Dev Anand movie turned out to be very successful at box office, though “Des Pardes” (1978) was also successful.

One reason why many old songs ( 1970s and earlier) are popular is of course to do with nice music in these songs. Moreover, the music directors ( there were many outstanding music directors at that time) recognised the value of lyrics. And they would wait for lyricists to write their songs.

It is a very cute, and at the same time very philosophical song. In fact, those who may have only listened to the song without watching the movie may even call it a happy-sad song.

Dil aaj shaayar hai

I have mentioned earlier that Dev Anand outlived his stay as a leading man in Bollywood movies. as a result, many stories with great ideas flopped just because Dev Saab insisted on playing the hero in those movies. In fact, legend has it that Prakash Mehra had wanted to cast Dev Saab in “Zanjeer”. Dev Saab liked the role, but he wanted Prakash Mehra to sell him the story so that he could make this movie in his own way ( and hopefully add one more flop to his CV). Thankfully Prakash Mehra refused and the rest, as they say, is history with Amitabh Bachchan playing that role.

“Joshila” (1973) is one of the lesser known movies starring Dev Anand with the then young heroines Hema Malini and Rakhi. The movie failed at the box office and few people recall what this movie was all about.

Dev Anand was a popular hero in 1950s and 1960s. But unfortunately he did not know when to call it a day. He continued to act one fourth his age long into 1980s with most of his movies falling flat at the box office.
