“Veena” (1948) is a by now obscure movie. This movie had actors like Rahman, Yaqub, Sulochana Chaterjee, Veera, Hemawati etc in it and most of these names ring no bells in my mind.

“Ek Dil Sau Afsaane” (1963) is a movie starring Raj Kapoor and Waheeda Rehman. To my mind, the two were pair together in very few movies. The only other movie with the two that I can recall is Teesri Kasam(1966).

In late 1970s, I had watched a movie called “Dada”. In that movie, Amjad Khan, then typedcast as Gabbar Singh following his role in “Sholay” (1975) played a baddie who turns over a new leaf thanks to a young blind girl (whose father he has murdered). this movie moved the audience a lot. The movie went on to become a reasonable hit. Vinod Mehra and Bindiya Goswami were the hero and heroine of this movie, but Amjad Khan was the real star of the movie.

“Bedard Zamaanaa Kyaa Jaane” (1959) was a B grade movie starring Ashok Kumar, Nirupa Roy,Sudesh Kumar, Jabeen Jaleel etc. This movie is quite significant from music point of view. It was with this movie that Kalyanji Veerji Shah made his debut as an independent music director. Till then, he was assisting to other senior music directors viz Hemant Kumar etc. After another movie (Madaari), Kalyanji was joined by his younger brother Anandji and they formed the by now legendary musical partnership known as Kalyanji Anandji.
