Hullo Atuldom

Today is the birth anniversary (100th) of the legendary filmmaker, actor, choreographer of the 1950s & early ’60s. I found this article in today’s Times Of India.

As I was writing my previous post on Guru Dutt I came across this article on the internet. It spoke of K. Asif’s magnum opus “Love And God” which initially had Guru Dutt playing Qais (Majnu). But the movie halted with the death of the actor in 1964.

After a while K Asif revived “Love and God”; this time with Sanjeev Kumar playing Majnu (Qais). Nimmi was still Laila. The film again came to a halt with the passing of K. Asif in 1971, the film was about 70% complete.

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1975-4)
——————————————————–

Today we add one more movie from the year 1975 which was so far missing on this blog. The title of the movie will give an idea of how times changed in the decade of the seventies, and the kind of movies that were being made. The movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time, and I could not find any video of the movie or its songs on the internet. This movie is ‘Playboy -1975’ alias ‘Rangeelaa Mastaanaa’. It was directed by T. Janakiram for ‘Mahes Movie International, Madras’. It had Roopesh Kumar, Rutu Kamal, Mohan Choti, Fariyal, Hiralal, H. Alam (new discovery), Pandeji, Udaylakshami, Hameed, Sheron, Yushiko, Indira and others.
