May 5th 1978 was a most awaited day for an Amitabh Bachchan fan. That day his latest movie Trishul got released. Zanjeer, Deewar, Sholay, Adalat and Khoon Pasina had been released in the preceding years and had proved to be super-duper hits.

I have mentioned it many times that Chitragupta, despite his outstanding musical talent would not go out and socialise with big wigs of the industry and that is what prevented him from landing big banner movies. For instance, the first time he was introduced to raj Kapoor was in late 1980s by his sons Anand and Milind, and on meeting him, Raj Kapoor said that he was a big fan of Chitragupta and he would have loved to work with Chitragupta had he met him in their heydays.

I have mentioned that Ganesh is one music director who unfortunately did not get the credit that he so richly deserved. His songs are so difficult to come by and even in these songs we often find his name missing. Even the uploaders of his songs are often unaware about Ganesh.

In the picturisation of this song, Dharmendra has just realised that Hema Malini is in love with him. Having made this discovery, Dharmendra jumps up and down all over the place, singing this joyous song, and Hema Malini is naturally embarrased at this public display of Dharmendra’s love for her.
