I had never heard of the film, ‘Ladies Tailor’ (1981). When I checked the cast, I could never imagined that Sanjeev Kumar was in the role of a ladies tailor. The film was produced and directed by Khalid Akhtar. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Reena Roy (in double role), Amjad Khan, Deven Verma, Pran, Aruna Irani, Bindu, Mukri, Raj Kishore, Urmila Bhatt, Manju Singh etc. Sharmila Tagore, Rekha, Moushumi Chatterjee and Parveen Babi appeared in cameo roles as themselves. The film belongs to light comedy genre with the background of Lucknawi cultural milieu. The film was released on March 21, 1981.

‘Kaanch Ki Deewaar’ (1986) was an obscure film which I came to know only recently. The film was produced by Kamal Chaudhary and M N Yasin and the latter directed the film. Both the names are new to me and this was their debut film. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Smita Patil, Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Om Prakash, Rajan Sippy (debutant), Purnima, Neelu Phule, Urmila Bhatt, Raj Mehra, Lalita Kumari, Murad, Madhu Malini, Jagdeep, Birbal, Hina Kausar, Jaishree T etc. The film was released on January 31, 1986, about three months after the passing away of Sanjeev Kumar.
It appears that the film took long time to complete or to get it released as I find that there is a song by Mohammed Rafi in the film who had passed away in July 1980. The film’s lead actress, Smita Patil had started working in the mainstream commercial films in 1981 by signing a spate of such films to prove that she can as well be a successful actor in such films. The same combination of producer and director had started one more film, ‘Waqt Kaa Sikandar’ (1996) when the film under discussion was delayed in getting released. It seems the second film failed to get completed or released.

‘Baat Ban Jaaye’ (1986) was produced by Anil Hanspal and Nitin Manmohan which was directed by Bharat Rungachary. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Zeenat Aman, Utpal Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Raj Babbar, Amol Palekar, Aruna Irani, Jalal Agha, Shakti Kapoor, Adi Irani, Imtiaz Khan, Jagdeep, Prema Narayan, Viju Khote etc. The film belongs to the family comedy genre. It was the first film for Nitin Manmohan (son of actor, Manmohan) as a producer and second film as a director for Bharat Rungachary. Sanjeev Kumar passed away before the release of the film. However, he had completed all his work for the film.
The credit title of the film did not mention the names of the actors. Probably director felt that that since each actor in the film had his share of comedy, to present the film as a collective efforts of the entire cast in creating a family comedy film rather than showcasing the individual actors by mentioning their names. Incidentally, Sanjeev Kumar, Amol Palekar, Raj Babbar and Mithun Chakraborty were in the role of the prospective bridegrooms for the wealthy businesswoman, Zeenat Aman in the film.

‘Daasi’ (1981) was produced by Subhash Verma and was directed by Raj Khosla. The cast included Sanjeev Kumar, Rekha, Moushumi Chatterjee, Rakesh Roshan, Vikram, Paintal, Radhika Bartake, Sidharth Kak, Dhumal, Leela Mishra, Sundar, Narbada Shankar, Anita Advani etc.
The film was planned in 1976 based on a Hindi novel, ‘Mangala’ (1958) written by Anant Gopal Shevde. The main plank of the story in the novel is that Mangala goes through a deceitful arranged marriage with a blind singer, Pandit Sadananda. As a revenge, she rebels against the marriage by seducing her husband’s best friend and finally eloping with him. In the end, Mangala returns to her husband, Pandit Sadananda and becomes a vocalist under his tutelage. However, during the film’s planning stage, the producer and distributors felt that the plot was too bold and the audience may not accept it. Raj Khosla majorly tweaked the story of the novel for the film by making the husband’s friend (Rakesh Roshan) as her ex-lover and making him a grey character. It is Rakesh Roshan who tries to seduce Mangala. (Source: ‘Raj Khosla – The Authorised Biography (2025) by Amborish Roychoudhury, Anita Khosla and Uma Khosla).

This was the only lead role Beena had performed in her entire Hindi film career. Incidentally, in ‘Lovers’ (1983) which was released in the same year, Beena had played the role of the mother to Kumar Gaurav.

‘Dil Aakhir Dil Hai’ (1982) was produced by M S Gulati and was directed by Esmayeel Shroff. The cast included Rakhee, Nasiruddin Shah, Parveen Babi, Jalal Agha, Rehman, A K Hangal, Deena Pathak, Dinesh Hingoo, Ramesh Tiwari, Murad, Leela Mishra etc.
In an interview with The Times of India, which was published on October 27, 2022, Nasiruddin Shah has revealed that he was cast in the film only because Rishi Kapoor had backed out from the film. Film’s director, Esmayeel Shroff propped him up by saying that he can do any type of roles. But as the film progressed, he and the director realised that he was a misfit in the film. Probably, this was one of the reasons that film failed at the box office.

However, the completion of the film was delayed probably because there was disputes between the producers which got sorted out through Prakash Mehra who acted as an arbitrator. The film was released on October 18, 1987.

YouTube is an American social media and online video sharing platform owned by Google. It is an amazing tool that helps us in our blogging expedition. Based on our previous search history, it keeps suggesting links to videos.
That means, for followers of ATULSONGADAY, YouTube will keep suggesting videos of Hindi Fillum Sangeet. The suggestions may also be based on any particular actor, movie or artist, specially if we have looked up for songs of the concerned artist.
So, as I was browsing through YouTube yesterday, I came across a song which had Sunny Deol trying to shake a leg in tandem with Sridevi for a song that was playbacked (I am sure there is no such word in the English dictionary) by Suresh Wadkar and Asha Bhosle. It had Meenakshi Seshadri & Anil Kapoor, standing among the people who were watching the proceedings. On looking up for details, on our blog of course, I found that it has found its place on the blog in 2022 with this post by Avinashji.
