(The review of this song is written by Raja,a regular visitor of this blog and a fellow enthusiast of Bollywood music)
Hindi Films in the early 1970s could be clearly divided into two categories : “Rajesh Khanna” films and “Others”.
Such was Rajesh Khanna’s domination that unless you were a name already (like Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor or Sanjeev Kumar), it was tough for another hero to compete with the Rajesh wave. Ageing heroes like Rajendra Kumar and Biswajeet began getting rejected, aspiring heroes like Rakesh Pandey and Romesh Sharma began getting dejected. You needed tremendous staying power, patience and a lot of luck to ride through those times. Ask Amitabh Bachchan who had a string of flops till Dame Luck smiled on him, with the lead role in Zanjeer falling into his lap with Dev Anand rejecting it.

I had been thinking of posting this song for at least one year, if not more. But somehow I was not able to bridge the gap between intention and implementation. One reason was that I was not able to get the lyrics right to my satisfaction. In addition to understandable words, this song also has gibberish (which could well be words in some other languages) that I was unable to note down correctly.

Wow ! I was not aware of this song. What a rollicking and rocking song this is ! This song must be one of the first such songs sung by Kishore Kumar where he sings in the style that would become his trademark singing style.

There was a time when India had only one TV channel and that used to telecast boring programmes and news. Now we have countless channels including several news channels. These news channels are often short of ideas and they try to create news out of thin air and call that as “breaking news”. Typically the reporter of the channel will go to a certain site and try to describe a breaking news item, and he will struggle to find things to say.
