It is almost a month since the cloud burst over our beloved Himalayas. I have been watching the news intently ever since, specially the coverage on how the temple at Kedarnath is now. And I was in a flash back mode again.

This is the last remaining song from Anjaana (1969). It is a ‘Jeep’ song and happens right at the beginning of the film. I got a chance to see this movie on T V during a weekend. Much to my chagrin, they cut two songs from the movie. Somebody tell these T V channels that this is a 60’s movie not 80’s movie, hence the songs are not surplus and they are the main attraction. I could see the song situation in the scene’s leading up to the song, only to see the scene after the song next. My husband alerted me that they are cutting the songs, as the ‘bhai-bahen’ song Hum behnon ke liye mere bhaiyya was cut.

The movie had Mohanish Behl, Ayesha Shroff, Parikshit Sahni, Dev Kumar, Prem Chopra, Navin Nischol, Kalpana Iyer, Mac Mohan, with Parveen Babi and Mithun Chakraborty in special appearances. I recall that this movie was touted to be inspired from “The Blue Lagoon”. When most small time Hindi movie makers wanted to get “inspired” from western movies then they reminded me of the Hindi saying-“Kahaan Raja Bhoj Kahaan Gangu Teli”.
