Tumse hai pyaar mujhe

In Hindi movies, lyrics tended to be laden with Urdu words mainly because the major lyricists of that time were more comfortable with Urdu words than Sanskrit origin Hindi words. The plea was that simple words were needed for the movies. Ironically, the words used in Hindi movie songs were not really common man’s words for those whose mother tongue was Hindi. So Hindi speakers had difficulty understanding many words in Hindi movies.

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.
