While looking for Jaidev compositions to be posted today (6th january) on his death anniversary, I came across gems after gems that I heard in my formative days without having any inkling that they were composed by Jaidev. These are songs that tempted me to hold on to them for some other special occasions. But if I hold on to all his compositions for some future occasion then I will have to stop discussing Jaidev compositions, such is the quality of all the songs that I am coming across.

1969 was the debut year for Bindu and Vinod Khanna was just one year into the industry (having his debut in the ‘Man Ka Meet’ (1968)). In personal life, Bindu was already a married lady by this time. As far as I can review her filmography, the film Nateeja (1969) is apparently the only film in which she has played the role of a leading lady. Having played small roles in Anpadh (1962), as the college going daughter of Mala Sinha, and a supporting role in Aurat (1967), 1969 was the year that that she arrived on the film scene with five releases to her credit, viz. Doli, Ittefaaq, Do Raaste, Aayaa Saawan Jhoom Ke and Nateeja. With a combination of both positive and negative roles, she made her mark this year, and embarked on a career that would make her famous as Mona Darling (Zanzeer, 1971). She played the oomph girl in many films (Kati Patang (1971), Hawas (1974), Imtihaan (1974) etc.), and she also did serious supporting roles in Abhimaan (1973), Chaitaali (1975), Arjun Pandit (1976) etc.

While Helen rules the roost as the phenomena of the dance number in Hindi films, there came a phase in the 1960s and 70s, when a number of contenders stepped in to the arena of dance item exponents. As the dance number became progressively an important ingredient of the formula, especially a cabaret, and then especially in the ‘cloak and dagger’ type of films, the demand for dance item experts increased. To fill in a void that was probably beyond the bandwidth of Helen’s availability, the opportunities were taken up by actresses whose names became synonymous with sizzling dance numbers on the screen, and they made a place for themselves in the B/C grade films. The leaders in this group of actresses are Bela Bose, Faryaal, Lakshmi Chhaayaa, and JaishreeT. In their own right, these dancers have carved out a niche in the annals of Hindi films dance item.
