1972 was the year when many Bollywood movie makers decided to hitch the bandwagon turned Juggernaut of Kishore Kumar- RD Burman combination. And the result were some movies that had music by R D Burman and songs by Kishore, but the movies themselves were no great shakes.

What do I say about this song ? It was a big favourite of mine as well as that of others. But those days one could only listen what was played on radio and loudspeakers. So as a song stopped playing on these media, one tended to forget the song.

“Ye Gulistaan hamara” was a Dev Anand movie that few people remember today. The movie itself sank without a trace.
Ironically, this movie had a better storyline than some of the rubbish Dev Anand movies that met with better fate at the box office. May be the movie deserved it because Dev Anand in any case would not bother much about authenticity of picturisation in his movies.

This movie “Rampur ka Laxman” is by and large forgotten by now. It had many newcomers in it, including Randhir Kapoor, Rekha, Shatrughan Sinha etc.
Movie may have been forgotten by now, but its songs are not. Though the songs were supposed to be timepass songs, many of them became popular not only during their time, but stayed popular with the passage of time as well. It speaks for the quality of these songs and their creators that we still like to listen to these songs.

“Apna Desh” was a movie that appealed to majority of movie goers. It had almost every thing that the movie going janta wanted. In those days, movie going public were undergoing a change of taste. Movies where hero sang sad songs and got bashed by the villains were proving unpopular. People wanted the heroes of 1970s to be more assertive and active than just singing sad songs.

Though 1970 was a decade when action movies had begun to dominate, there were small time movie makers who produced small budget family entertainers sans fights and action. Rajshri Productions, the Basus ( Basu Bhattacharya and Chatterji), Hrishikesh Mukherji and some South India producers were the ones who produced such movies.
Though these movies lacked stars most of the time, but the music in these movies was of a high quality. Such movies and their music created their own niche market.

Rajesh Khanna on screen and Kishore Kumar giving playback on the composition of Laxmikant Pyarelal- it was a recipe for some memorable bollywood movie songs. In addition, this recipe also has Mumtaz singing in the voice of Lata.

Here is a song from 1973 that is funny as well as serious, both at the same time. It preaches us the value of being content with what we have rather than losing sleep over chasing mirages.
Rajinder Krishan, as usual came up with wonderful lyrics containing simple words with deep meaning. Laxmikant Pyarelal compose a nice song, sung well by Kishore and Lata. Overall, it may have been considered as a timepass song in the context of the movie, but I think the message of the song goes beyond the scope of the storyline of the by now forgotten movie.

This song is from circa 1970s, picturised on Sanjeev Kumar and Sharmila Tagore on a hill station. Do you say “mausam” ? Think again.
This song is from a movie that was released one year prior to “mausam”. Lata Mangeshkar is indeed the female singer, but the male singer here is Kishore Kumar, and the music director is R D Burman. For the record, R D Burman could do no wrong in those days. But the same could not be said about the makers of the movies in which he gave music.

This was one song that I found extremely romantic on its day. The lyrics say it all, and say it directly, no beating about the bush. And as a kid not even in my teens, I certainly loved such direct approach.
It was supposed to be a timepass song, but I like this song even today. This song shows that even such songs which are not aiming for immortality could become memorable if they are carefully crafted. Those were the days when Rajesh Khanna was on his ascendancy, and whatever he touched, turned to gold, and this movie “Aan Milo Sajna” was no exception.
