“Chhote Sarkar”(1974) is quite an obscure movie by now, which is a surprise seeing that this movie had Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana in lead roles.
The fact that the movie was released in 1974, by which time both Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana were past their prime as lead actors, may be the reason for the obscurity of this movie. The movie was obviously planned to be released in 1960s, but the movie could not be released for various reasons. By the time it finally saw the light of the day in 1974, it was too late. The taste of the movie goers had changed drastically in the interim period. As a result, this movie sank almost without a trace.

I have mentioned it in my previous post that I am at present visually hamstrung. I am unable to see what I am typing since I have forgotten my glasses at home. There are terms like touch typing, typing with two fingers etc, and I suppose I can add another term, viz typing by guesswork as well. I can barely see the letters on the keyboard but I am an experienced keyboard warrior and so my fingers tend to move to the correct keys almost like second nature. So I hope that I am typing correctly without too many typos.
