“Paakeezah” (1971) which was the last movie of Meena Kumari was full of some beautiful songs. I as a pre teen disliked those retro songs at that time, but as time has passed, I find myself warming up to these songs. Indeed, these songs have grown sweeter and more melodious with passage of time.

“Mera Gaaon Mera Desh” (1971) was regarded as the ultimate “daaku” movie till Sholay came about in 1975. In fact, Sholay had drawn liberally from “Mera Gaon Mera Desh”. The name Gabbar Singh was modelled on Gajjar Singh (played by the dashing Vinod Khanna).The dacoits of “Mera Gaaon mera desh” in fact looked more believable.
