Most Bollywood movies are make believe ones where the main characters lead dream lives that are far removed from reality.

“Amaanat” was a movie starring Manoj Kumar and Sadhana. I find that the date of release of this movie is shown as 1977. Considering that Sadhana had retired from movies in late 1960s, I think that “Amaanat” was a movie picturised in 1960s and accordingly I thought that it was a movie of 1967 rather than 1977.That is the only explanation for the kind of dresses worn by Sadhana and Manoj Kumar in this movie which are incongruous with the dressing styles of 1970s. This movie has an iconic song that goes “matlab nikal gaya hai to pahchaante .”. I am fully convinced that I have been listening to this song from 1960s itself.

Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz made a very popular pair of late 1960s and early 1970s. Their on screen chemistry was such that just about any movie and any song picturised on the duo became popular.

“Raja” (1975) was a movie starring Rishi kapoor and Sulakshana Pandit. Few people ( including me) were aware of the existence of this movie. I was of course aware about the songs without knowing which movie these songs were from.

“Zakhmee” (1975) had quite a few wonderful songs. For long I thought that these songs were composed by R D Burman. It was much later that I realised that this movie in fact was the debut movie of Bappi Lahiri as a music director.

The movie “Faraar” is one of the lesser known movies of Amiatbh Bachchan. In fact, any movie just off the beaten track tended to end up becoming a lesser known movie, since the Bollywood spectators were just not mature enough to patronise movies that were even slightly different.

“Zakhmee” (1975) was a movie which had very nice music. And I thought for many years that R D Burman was the music director of this movie.

If the iconic movie of 1957 (Mother India) had a memorable Holi song, then the same was the case with the iconic movie of 1975 (Sholay).

Tum aa gaye ho noor aa gaya hai

When the makers of this movie made this movie, no one was left in any doubt that the movie was based on Mrs Indira Gandhi’s life, with Suchitra Sen playing her role. And very imaginatively, they called his movie “Andhi”, removing the first letter “G” from “Gandhi”. The movie was released during emergency, and to this day, I am amazed at the risk that the makers of this movie took. Another movie, “Kissa Kursi ka” which mocked Indira Gandhi and her son, did not meet with the same kind fate with the censors at that time.
