“Chhote Sarkar”(1974) is quite an obscure movie by now, which is a surprise seeing that this movie had Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana in lead roles.
The fact that the movie was released in 1974, by which time both Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana were past their prime as lead actors, may be the reason for the obscurity of this movie. The movie was obviously planned to be released in 1960s, but the movie could not be released for various reasons. By the time it finally saw the light of the day in 1974, it was too late. The taste of the movie goers had changed drastically in the interim period. As a result, this movie sank almost without a trace.

Today is the birthday of Nutan, one of Hindi movies’ most loved actresses of yesteryear. She also just happens to be one of my own favourites and therefore I am very happy to write up a song for her.

Today, the 4th of June, is the birth anniversary of Bina Rai.
It also happens to be the birth anniversary of Nutan. In fact both Nutan and Bina Rai were born on the exact same date – the 4th of June 1936. What a coincidence!

Lata Mangeshkar has sung more duets with late Mohammad Rafi than with any other singer. The duo showered about 440 melodiously memorable gems on music lovers — beginning with “Chal ho gayi taiyaar” in “Shadi Se Pehle” (1947).

“Tumsa Nahin Dekha” (1957) is the movie where Shammi Kapoor finally got transformed from a struggling underconfident actor to a successful confident star. He was quite fortunate to get the opportunity to work in this movie because Shammi Kapoor was nowhere near being the first choice for this movie.

When it comes to Shammi Kapoor, the popular image of him is as a suave gentleman who romances his ladies by singing great songs in Rafi’s voice. But I have realised that it is only part of the larger picture.

I have discussed as many as five songs from “Laat Saahab” (1967). But five songs just too few a number to be satisfied with for a typical musical blockbuster of those days.

Some newspapers tend to have columns called “This day that year” or similar. In that column, they discuss the important events that happened on that day in the past.
Today is 29th of december 2011. If I am asked to describe what I did in the past years on this day then I will draw a blank for most of the years, including years as recent as one or two years back. But ironically there is one year on this date that is as fresh in my mind as if it happened just yesterday. In reality, it happened exactly 40 years back. Yes, I remember the day of 29th december 1971 very well. It was a day that did not begin all that well but became memorable as the day wore on.
