The failure of Doosri Sita(1974) at the box-office resulted in the disappearance of the good musical score of this film from the collective memory. My favourite from this film is this highly melancholic background song.

This article is the 8100th song post in the blog.
I love to liken the journey of this blog to a non stop long distance travel by road. As long as the vehicle and the road are working smoothly, one tends to pass milestones after milestones in no time. It is only when one is forced to push the brake down that one realises how fast one was travelling !

“Doosri Sita” got released in 1974 and sank without a trace, taking with it the musical score. Only in the course of R D Burman revival, did the songs resurface again. I remember listening to them on radio in the late 70s and early 80s on Vividh Bharati. The name Doosri Sita, though never really registered itself in my mind.

Manoranjan (1974), Shammi Kapoor’s first film as a director, seems to have only four songs. That is a bit surprising for me. I’d expected it to have more. So this could be the last song to come in from this film.

Manoranjan (1974) was Shammi Kapoor’s first film as a director. He roped in R D Burman the reigning music director of that time to give music to his debut film as a director. Shammi Kapoor had in fact given Pancham his first biggest hit with Teesri Manzil (1966). But unfortunately Manoranjan flopped. The songs of this film were hits all the same.
