“Nai Dilli” (1956) was a movie starring Kishore Kumar and Vyjyanti Mala. This movie to my mind was a landmark movie in my mind because one could see the New Delhi of that time and amuse oneself by comparing that with the present day New Delhi. Many present day landmarks of New Delhi were non existent or looked very different those days.

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.

Just listen to this Kishore Kumar song ! I have heard this song quite a few times, and all these days I thought that this song was written by Anand Bakshi and composed by R D Burman. But no, the lyricist is Kaifi Azmi and this song is composed by Madan Mohan.
