Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 78

The camaraderie and apnapan amongst the Atulites (as we contributors of song posts like to call ourselves) really makes me feel at home. It can be a simple thing as a Good Morning or Good Evening messages or even Birthday Wishes on the WhatsApp group or someone posting articles on old movies, songs or even the performers, or even a healthy discussion on any topic except religion and politics, one really feels comfortable and wanted. The group members also suggest songs for posting on the blog. Like this time I have received (upon my request) three rare/rarely heard songs of Asha Bhosle for my current series from a very knowledgeable and experienced friend, Raja Swaminathan Ji. I will be posting his suggestions one at a time.

I would like to Thank Raja Ji for suggesting these songs. So Raja Ji, this one is for you!!!

The first song which I am presenting is a rare/rarely heard song of Asha Bhosle “Babu Babu Dil Pe Nahi Kabu” from “Do Aankhein” (1974), written by Verma Malik and composed by Hansraj Behl.

Legends Don’t Die, They Leave An Immortal Legacy

I was as shocked as the entire world who loved the rustic original He-Man of the Hindi Film Industry – Dharmendra Singh Deol.

The curtains have fallen on the magnificent career of Dharmendra, one of Indian cinema’s most endearing and charismatic figures, who passed away on Monday, November 24, 2025, at the age of 89. His passing leaves a colossal void, marking the end of an era defined by his unparalleled charm, raw talent, and a filmography that became the very backbone of Bollywood.

Dharmendra was a paradox on screen—a formidable action hero with the innocence and tenderness of a poet. This rare combination allowed him to effortlessly inhabit the most diverse roles, captivating generations of audiences.

‘Manzilein Aur Bhee Hain’ (1974) was produced by Johny Bakshi and was directed by Mahesh Bhatt who also wrote the story. The dialogues were written by the veteran theatre personality, Satyadev Dube. The cast included Kabir Bedi and Prema Narayan in the lead roles supported by Gulshan Arora, Purnima, Sudhir, Mac Mohan, Mukesh Bhatt, Shah Durrani, Kirti Kumar, Viju Khote, Ranvir Raj, Uma Dutt etc. Both Johny Bakshi and Mahesh Bhatt made their debuts as producer and director, respectively. Both had known each other while working for Raj Khosla as Assistant Director/Production Controller.

The film was completed in 1972 but ran into problems with Censor Board for about 15 months. In an interview, Mahesh Bhatt revealed that for Censor Board, the film’s two fugitives’ polyandrous relationship with a woman who is their partner in crime amounted to undermining the institution of marriage. Finally, the film got the Censor Certificate on August 13, 1974, as an ‘Adult’ film with cuts. The film had a limited theatrical released on September 27, 1974. The VCD of the film I watched, has a 2016 Censor Certificate with major cuts to make it fit for public viewing under parental guidance. The theme of the film is that there are alternative paths to becoming a criminal who lives under the constant fear of death.
