“Laawaris” (1981) was Produced and directed by Prakash Mehra. The movie had Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, Amjad Khan, Suresh Oberoi, Bindu, Raakhee Gulzar, Om Prakash, Ranjeet, Ram Sethi etc in it. The movie was criticised quite badly by the movie reviewer of the magazine that I used to read those days. The critic wrote that the best scene in the movie was one that had the words “The End” in it.

Greetings and best wishes to all readers for the festival of Raksha Bandhan today.
This song is from the 1985 film ‘Ghar Dwaar’. The film is produced by Mohan ji Prasad and SK Jain, and is directed by Kalptaru. The star cast of this film is impressive and includes Shriram Lagoo, Tanuja, Sachin, Raj Kiran, Shoma Anand, Kadar Khan, Ashok Saraf, Ashalata etc. The music for this film is composed by Chitragupt. Checking through the available articles on Chitragupt ji, he passed away in 1991. This film could well be one of the last films that he composed for. I am unable to locate the name of the lyricist, and would request other knowledgeable readers to please add this information.

‘Jeewan Dhaara’ was a social family film. I remembered about this song when Peevesie posted those two songs of “Golmaal”. I had forgotten the name and song lyrics and tune. I remembered that Kishore Kumar was the singer and most probably it was by Laxmikant Pyarelal, and that it was a funny song performed on stage by Amol Palekar. I vaguely remembered something like ‘gangaram’ and ‘totaram’ in the lyrics. So what did i do. I googled it. And presto ! i had the words “gangaram kanwara reh gayaa”. Then it was just a matter of finding a video link in Youtube, which was easy.

“Dil Aakhir Dil Hai” (1982) came at a time when I was on the verge of irreversibly losing track of Hindi movies. In fact I was not even aware of this movie till I was sent the lyrics of this song by Prakashchandra.

Last week, I suddenly felt an urge to write an article on Shashi Kapoor whom I admire for being a different Kapoor from his two illustrious brothers – Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor. He may not have the genius and business acumen of Raj Kapoor nor have the yahoo image of Shammi Kapoor. But he scored over his two illustrious brothers in that he was the most handsome among them. I remember a handsome and boyish looking Shashi Kapoor in ‘Waqt’ (1965). With his handsome and ever smiling face, he had a huge fan following during his hey days. He was different from his brothers on one more count – he married an English girl Jennifer Kendal who was associated with a theater group.
