“Raat Andheri Thhi” (1967) is a B grade movie about which very little is known these days. Theinformation that I have been able to gather about this movie tells me that this movie had Feroz Khan, Sheikh Mukhtar, Lolita Chaterjee & Helen in it, which makes it an archtypical B grade movie of the 1960s. These movies had Sheikh Mukhtraa playing the same kind of roles that would later be played by amitabh Bachchan in this angrey young man movies. Sheikh Mukhtar would use his bulky figure for strongarm tactics, and he would leave the task of singing and dancing to the chocolate faced side hero of the movie, which happens to be Feroz Khan in this movie.

The energy and the vitality that Shammi Kapoor brought on to the screen was unprecedented and unparalleled. Starting off with Jeewan Jyoti in 1953, there was a fair number of films, almost 20 or so, that he did between 1953 and 1957. In many of the films in this period, he was trying to emulate his elder brother, Raj Kapoor. He did attract some attention with films like Rail Ka Dibba, Laila Majnu, Gul Sanobar etc., but somehow the histrionics and the on screen presence in those roles did not come across as a comfortable performer. In hind sight, one can say, that there was a different personality hidden inside that was impatient to explode, but was not finding the right expression.

Scandals in public life, especially crimes of passion, have always attracted the attention of Hindi movie makers and a few of them have actually gone on and made movies based on such scandals. Even at present, we find a movie maker making a movie on a woman who murdered her ex boyfriend with the help of her current flame.

Like any young pre teen kid growing up in late 1960s and early 1970s, I was learning new things every day. I would listen to songs blaring from loudspeakers and from radios. It was one fine evening in 1960s that I heard a song coming out from the radio. I had never heard this song before, and I loved the song instantly and unconditionally, as kids tend to do.

In olden days, most Hindi movie going population used to be quite simple and naive. Give them the usual song and dance and they went back home happy. But if you gave them anthing different, they they would be out of their depth and fail to turn up to watch such movies. So I am not suprised that movies made on nonmainstream themes failed to attract audiences, even when they won critical acclaim and even Government awards.

I came across this song a few hours ago. And I wondered where this song was hiding all these days from my view.
This is a nice club/part dance song from “Parvarish” (1958). The song is sung by Lata and Manna Dey. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and the delightful music is composed by Dattaram.
