I sincerely believe that parents should take care of their kids and they should not deprive them of their basic requirements. And what did a kid like me want in 1972 as his basic requirement ? I badly wanted to see “Seeta Aur Geeta” (1972). The songs of this movie had such a pied piper like effect that everyone was attracted towards the movie halls screening this movie. My elders too agreed to take me to watch this movie and I was so happy with the prospect of being able to watch the movie and to have the best moment of my life till then.

“Shrimaanji” (1968) is a movie whose songs were too elusive to locate for me all these days. Finally they seem to have become available and I was able to post one song from this movie.

(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 was on the lookout for this song for quite some time, ever since Raja gave me the farmaish of this song from “Shrimaanji”. In all this time, I managed to find (and post) several songs from “Shrimatiji”, but I drew a blank as far as locating songs of “Shrimaanji” was concerned.

“Mere Jeewan Saathi” (1972) is full of great songs that were big rage during its heydays. The popularity of songs of this movie was just incredible.

Jeenaa kyaa aji pyaar binaa

Just like we these days lament the deterioration in the quality of Bollywood music, people used to lament about such deterioration even in the past. I personally thought that many of the songs of 1970s were pedestrial and chaalu songs. But now with the passage of time, when I came across far worse songs, then I realised that the so called poor songs of 1970s were gems in comparison.

I have mentioned the fact that I was aware of the songs of “Paraayaa Dhan” (1971) and I enjoyed listening to them but I was not aware about the name of the movie. It is only after I opened this blog that I became aware that those much loved songs were from “Paraaya Dhan” (1971).

I have recently created a page in this blog where readers can give their farmaishes for songs. The first farmaish sender is none other than Raja, who was also the first commentor of this blog in distant past (well just under two years ago).

I have posted as many as three songs from “Mr X in Bombay” (1964) already in this blog. The other songs from this movie, which are not yet posted are also wonderful songs.

I always get myself confused between “Aandhi” and “Mausam”. Both these movies were released in 1975 and both these movies had Sanjeev Kumar as the hero. And both these movies were music lovers’ delight. But the fact remains that the two movies were different movies, with different heroines, different music directors etc.
