It is my gut feel (and I may be wrong here) that the early 70s saw more newcomers entering the Hindi film industry for significant roles (not necessarily hero/heroine) than any other period before this time.

May 5th 1978 was a most awaited day for an Amitabh Bachchan fan. That day his latest movie Trishul got released. Zanjeer, Deewar, Sholay, Adalat and Khoon Pasina had been released in the preceding years and had proved to be super-duper hits. Amitabh Bachchan’s distinctive “positioning” as the “angry young man” in the rather cluttered world of Bollywood heroes was firmly established. That the above-mentioned movies were interspersed with blockbusters like Kabhi Kabhie (romantic hero) and Amar Akbar Anthony (comedian) only helped to intensify the hero’s aura among his fans.

There are a few such songs which I never heard again for several decades. Thanks to this blog, which makes me look for songs and which familiarises me with songs sent as farmaishes by my readers, I have been rediscovering many of these forgotten gems.

It may be just my perception (and I will be happy to be proven wrong) but I think 1981 was a sort of musical compensation for 1980. Maybe it is just my taste but 1980 was one of those run-of-the-mill years for me as far as pleasant music is concerned.

I have often tried to compile a list of male and female actors who acted together in movies before they married each other. One can think of names like Dev Anand- Kalpana Kartik, Shammi Kapoor- Geeta Bali, Randhir Kapoor-Babita, Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Singh, Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bhaduri, Dharmendra-Hema Malini etc.
