When I was young, I loved making records- no, not the kind of records that played on record players, but the kind which gave you gloating rights. For instance, there were people who would have the record of watching every movie on the first day, first show, and there were some people who would boast of watching the same movie 100 times.

“Satte Pe Satta” (1982) was an adaptation of “Seven Brides for seven brothers”. When Bollywood makers draw inspirations from Western movies, they often spoil the original.

Ganesh was one music director who got very few opportunities as a music director, and he made the most of these opportunities. But much to his, and our misfortune, many of his songs were forgotten, since the movies were flops. These songs, though very fine songs on their own,are very difficult to come by these days.

“Jhootha Kahin ka” (1979) was one of the movies where Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh got paid for carrying out their romance in full public view. They were indeed so lucky to get paid for doing what they enjoyed.
