“Hamsaaya” (1968) is a movie which had Joy Mukherji, Mala Sinha and Sharmila Tagore in it. As the title suggests, this movie had Joy Mukherjee in double role.One is Chinese and other in Indian. 🙂 Mala Sinha is the love interest of the Chinese Joy Mukherji while Sharmila Tagore plays the love interest of Indian Joy Mukherji.

“Raat Andheri Thhi” (1967) is a B grade movie about which very little is known these days. Theinformation that I have been able to gather about this movie tells me that this movie had Feroz Khan, Sheikh Mukhtar, Lolita Chaterjee & Helen in it, which makes it an archtypical B grade movie of the 1960s. These movies had Sheikh Mukhtraa playing the same kind of roles that would later be played by amitabh Bachchan in this angrey young man movies. Sheikh Mukhtar would use his bulky figure for strongarm tactics, and he would leave the task of singing and dancing to the chocolate faced side hero of the movie, which happens to be Feroz Khan in this movie.

“Teasing” songs where the hero teases the heroine while singing a roadside Romeo genre of song is not quite my cup of tea, especially when the hero is someone like Rajendra Kumar.
