When Ramanand Sagar released his ‘Aankhen’ in 1968, the film took the box office by storm, and was declared as a blockbuster by the trade journals. Ramanand Sagar bagged the Filmare award for the best director, and the film also got the Filmfare award for color cinematography. The music was hit, with lyrics coming from the pen of Sahir Ludhianvi and the music from the baton on Ravi. A film that truly settled Dharmendra’s career on a strong footing. In many ways, the film became a trendsetter.

When Kidar Sharma wrote the lyrics of the song so jaa rajkumari so jaa, he might not have been aware that he wrote the first lori (lullaby) song for a Hindi film. Another thing he did differently was that he wrote the lori lyrics for a male singer-actor (K L Saigal) whereas the lori is traditionally sung by women. This could happen because, as he said in his autobiography ‘The One and Lonely Kidar Sharma’ (2002), he had in fact written a lori ‘so jaa raj dulari so jaa, so jaa main balihaari so jaa’ especially for his wife Raj Dulari. But K L Saigal fell in love with it and pressurised Kidar Sharma to make it public. It was only after his wife agreed that Kidar Sharma consented to use this lori for the film ‘Zindagi” (1940) by changing ‘raj dulari’ to ‘rajkumari’. This lori sung by K L Saigal became very popular all over India.
