The movie “Call Girl”‘ (1974) is all but forgotten now, and even the music directors Sapan Jagmohan failed to make it big, but one song from this movie “ulfat me zamaane ki har rasm ko thukraao” became reasonably popular.

During 1970s, when I would try to tune radio Ceylon on wednesday night between 8 PM to 9 PM, tuning to the desired station was not as easy as it is for TV stations.

In India, most couples have arranged marriages, but you could not realise that by watching Bollywood movies, where every hero and his sidekick seemed to fall in love and sing romantic songs.

“Half Ticket” was a laugh riot featuring Kishore Kumar and Pran. The movie had a heroine too, but I am not able to recall her name, that is how Kishore and Pran centric this movie was.
