“Khoj” (1953) is as obscure a movie as any. This movie apparently had Shammi Kapoor, Mahipal, Kesari, Lalita Kumari, satish etc in it. Out of these actors, Shammi Kapoor and Mahipal went on to become well known actors in future, but even they were largely non entities in 1953 when this movie was released. It is unlikely that this movie helped them advance further in their career, seeing that this movie itself failed to survive at the box office.

“Wo Din Yaad Karo” is a movie that was released in 1971. Though I was very much around in 1971 , I have absolutely no recollection of this movie. Obviously this movie had flopped big time. At that time, when Rajesh Khanna was ruling the roost, who was going to watch a movie starring Sanjay Khan and Nanda? No one really.

Though I have heard about movies called “Daag”, I was not aware of a movie called “Bedaag”. But yes, there is indeed one such movie that was released in 1965. Unlike “Daag”(1952) which had Dilip Kumar and Nimmi and “Daag” (1973) which had Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore,”Bedaag”(1965) did not have the reigning superstar of the day in its cast. This movie had Manoj Kumar and Nanda in lead roles.
