FARIYAAD (1964) was produced and directed by Kidar Sharma under the banner of Show People. Ashok Sharma ( son of Kidar Sharma) and Zeb Rahman (also known as Preetibala) were in the lead roles with Ashok Kumar, Achala Sachdev, Dilip Dutt and Tuntun in the supporting roles. I remember to have read the reports in some of the film magazines at that time about propping up of Preetibala (Zeb Rahman) as another Madhubala in the making taking advantage of the resemblance of her face with that of Madhubala.

In a recent post (“koi aaya lachak uthi kaaya”), I had talked about seeing the film Dastaan (1972) on a flight.
As it turned out, that was not the only film I saw on that flight. It was a long flight so I managed to see another film that I’d been wanting to see for a long time – Leader (1964), starring Dilip Kumar and Vyjanthimala.

As my age advances, I have started realising that I am recalling memories of my childhood and younger days much better than before. The flip side is that I tend to get forgetful or absent-minded in respect of my immediate past events. While the old days’ remembrance can be nostalgic and some time makes me emotional, the positive side is that I have started remembering some of the old Hindi films songs which I had completely forgotten for many years. But here is a catch which places me in a piquant situation. In some cases, I just remember the tune of a song and not the starting words or in an other way round, I remember the starting words but struggle to get to the tune of the song. Obviously, I have no inkling about the names of the films concerning these songs.

Early sixties, and a new kid on the block is trying to catch attention with the clarion call “Banda Parwar, Thhaam Lo Jigar” (‘Phir Wohi Dil Layaa Hoon’ (1963)). Catapulting directly into the top bracket of leading roles, no one can say that Joy Mukherjee had a dearth of roles or big name pictures. The young lad was very handsome, with an open smiling face, and had histrionic talent also. And as is evident from the roles in the first decade of his career, he had lots of energy and had a lots of zeal. Btw, the song I mentioned in this paragraph, well it is not on this blog yet. (Hint, hint. :))

The last few days have seen not one but two artists of the golden era departing from our midst. Music director Ravi left us one day before Holi and Joy Mujherji one day after holi. We, who in this blog discuss the songs of the golden era on a daily basis, are so familiar with the artists involved in these songs that they feel like close acquaintances. So any living artist breathing his/her last comes as a shock to us, even when it is well known that death is inevitable for everyone.
