A gem of a song from the team of Asad Bhopali and Usha Khanna. The film is Simla Road (1969), one more from the now very familiar Jugal Productions. Producer-director Jugal Kishore was an active film maker in the 60s and 70s, mostly producing B Grade action thrillers and films of intrigue and gangsters. Simla Road is no different. An action thriller starring Dev Kumar, Sarita, KN Singh, Jugal Kishore, Madhumati, Jaishree, Brahma Bhardwaj, Leela Misra, Murad, Mehmood Jr., Mirza Musharraf, Maruti, Dilip Dutt, Mahohar Deepak, the film has some very lovely songs composed by Usha Khanna.

“Haqdaar” (1964) was an archtypically B grade movie where utilisation of resources was kept to the bare minimum, with the result that the names of most artists involved in this movie are unfamiliar. The movie was a production of Shree Ganesh Films. it was directed by P S Wagle and the “stars” of this movie were Ranjan, Ratnamala,Nasreen etc, which I am sure were household names those days- in the households of these artists. 🙂

When the name of the picture is ‘Dara Singh’, one can be one hundred percent sure of two things. One, of course, that Dara Singh is the hero, and secondly, the theme of this film cannot be anything else other than stunt or gangsters or pirates.

“Benazir” (1964) appaers to be an A grade movie what with the likes of Ashok Kumar, Meena Kumari, Shashi Kapoor,Tanuja etc in it and the movie being directed by Bimal Roy. But despite such big names, I have not been aware of this movie. And only recently I have become aware of a song from this song.

“Amar Rahe Ye Pyaar” (1961) is a movie about which very little information is available online. The only information I have been able to collect about the starcast of this movie is that it had Nalini Jaiwant, Rajendra Kumar and Nanda in it. Apparently, this movie flopped at the box office despite the presence of Jubilee Kumar in it.

“Jee Chaahta Hai” (1964) is a movie starring Joy Mukherji, Rashree, Shyama, Rajendranath, Nazir Hussain,Jeewan etc. I have not seen the movie so I often try to guess the story of the movie from the picturisation of the song, and my conclusions thus drawn about the movie are often quite off the mark. 😀
