These days I have begun to look at Rafi-Lata duets with renewed interest. My interest has been aroused after I learnt some interesting statistics about the number of duets the two have sung together. It is estimated that the duo have sung about 410 odd duets. It excludes those songs in which some other voices were also present.

In olden days, most Hindi movie going population used to be quite simple and naive. Give them the usual song and dance and they went back home happy. But if you gave them anthing different, they they would be out of their depth and fail to turn up to watch such movies.

“Anita”(1967) is a movie starring Manoj Kumar and Sadhana. it was the third part of a trilogy of mystery woman movie that Raj Khosla made. The other two being Wo Kaun Thi and Mera Saayaa. But much has changed by 1967 when this movie was released. But much had changed in all these years. Sadhana, who looked so pretty and stunning with a glowing face, had lost much of her facial glow and charm following some illness. This movie, to the best of my knowledge, was not as much of a success as the other two movies.

This is a song that I have heard many a times in the past but all these days I had no clue which movie this was from. It is not that I was not familiar with the movie. Indeed I was very much aware of the movie and I had discussed as many as four songs from this movie in the blog.

“Jab Yaad Kisi Ki Aati Hai” (1967) is a movie which I tended to confuse with “Jab Pyaar Kisi Se Hota Hai” (1961). Not any longer, I hope.
