Tumhe geeton mein dhaaloongaa

By 1970s, Rajshree Productions had hit upon a cost effective winning formula. In their movies, they would ensure that the story and music was the king and actors were non entities. They would hire newcomers in lead roles and make them work for pittance. As for music, they would hire music directors who were prepared to work for less fee. Their standard music director throughout 1970s was Ravindra Jain, who doubled up as the lyricist too. His music was the single biggest reason for the success of these movies as far as I am concerned. personally I felt the same way that a mouse felt when he heard the music of the pied Piper. whenever I heard the music of a Rajshree Productions movie, I felt like going to the movie hall showing that movie.

“Ummeed” (1971) is an obscure movie, despite this movie being of relatively recent vintage by the standards of this blog. This movie was a Rajan Films production and it was directed by Nitin Bose. The cast of this movie included names like Ashok Kumar, Nanda,Leela Naidu, Joy Mukherjee, Tuntun, Agha, Leela Misra etc. This movie must have sunk without a trace, because I have not heard of this movie despite this movie getting released when I was at my most alert and curious as a pre teen kid.

With a film title as ‘Haaye Mera Dil’ and with Kishore Kumar and IS Johar in the star cast, one can be assured that the film is going to be a comedy about romantic interests of the heart. And assuredly, the film is a successful comedy, and as in all such films, one has to overlook the glitches in the storyline, not ask to be convinced about plot sequencing, and just relax and enjoy the fun. Haaye Mera Dil (1968) is production under the banner of Manohar Films, Bombay, directed by apparently a duo of directors Ved-Madan (that is how the name appears in the credits). The music is by Usha Khanna, and the lyrics are shared amongst Anand Bakshi, SH Behari and PL Santoshi. The star line up includes Kishore Kumar, Kumkum, IS Johar, Prem Chopra, Madan Puri, Majnu, Raj Mehra, Lakshmi Chhaayaa.
