I have mentioned earlier that Dev Anand outlived his stay as a leading man in Bollywood movies. as a result, many stories with great ideas flopped just because Dev Saab insisted on playing the hero in those movies.

Dev Saab liked the role, but he wanted Prakash Mehra to sell him the story so that he could make this movie in his own way ( and hopefully add one more flop to his CV). Thankfully Prakash Mehra refused and the rest, as they say, is history with Amitabh Bachchan playing that role.

Koyi jab tumhaara hriday tod de
Posted on: March 1, 2009
This song stands out among the songs of 1970 because of its “shudddh” Hindi words. Words like “Hriday” for “dil” really won my “hriday” over when I first heard this song.
