I am a big fan of Ravi, the underestimated music director of the golden era of Bollywood movie music. He was an extremely prolific music director who began his career in 1950s and worked upto 1990. And he has left us countless great songs, many of them timeless classics. In fact, most iconic songs of Bollywood have been his creations.

“Phool Aur Patthar” (1966) was the movie that gave Dharmendra his “He-Man” image, and made him the star that he was known as for much of his career, if I remember correctly.Or, am I confusing this movie with “Shola aur Shabnam” ?
