Second week of may 1973 must have been very tense for Amitabh Bachchan. His very career hinged on the success of a movie that was being released on 11 may 1973. If this movie flopped at the box office then Amitabh Bachchan had decided to pack his bags and go back to Allahabad.

So,my post on a comparatively newer song,that too a Disco song may surprise some readers. It is sort of an anachronism, one may aver !

I had heard this song “rang le aayenge roop le aayenge” many times during its days in 1970s. This song was quite a popular song of its time, but all this while I was not aware about the movie this song was from. It is only now that I have come to know that the song was from a movie called “Bhanwar” (1976). This by now obscure movie was an Evershine Pictures production. It was produced by Shyam Keswani and Nandu Mirani. Bhappi Sonie was the director. The story of this song was written by Gulshan Nanda who was a very popular Hindi language pulp fiction novelist of those days.

Today (29 december 2012) is Rajesh Khanna’s 70th birth anniversary. It is the first year in which Rajesh Khanna is no longer physically with us. But the memory of Rajesh Khanna will remain with us for a long time. People of my generation were just in the right age bracket to be out and out Rajesh Khanna fans. The fan following that Rajesh Khanna enjoyed during his heydays was unbelievable. The population of India has doubled from the time when Rajesh Khanna was at his peak, but I can say that no subsequent actor has come anywhere close to him in fan following.
