“Kabhi Kabhi” (1976) is a movie whose music was quite unlike the music prevalent in Hindi movies at that time. The music of this movie had a retro feel about it and music lovers liked that. The songs of this movie became popular and they in fact have outlived most songs of that era.

During 1970s, Amitabh Bachchan had taken over the crown of the number one male actor of the decade. The one actor, who looked like a challenger was Vinod Khanna, but Vinod Khanna’s mind was not into his career. He became a devotee of Achaarya Rajneesh (that is how he was then known, before he began to call himself “Osho”). As a result, he ended up nowhere. He neither got the spiritual nirvaana from his spiritual guru nor could he devote himself whole heartedly to his movie career. If he could only devote himself whole heartedly to his movie career, he could have been number one, at least briefly, and who knows, may be for even longer durations.
