“The Great Gambler” was an Amitabh Bachchan movie that was pronounced a damp squib when it was released in 1979. That came as a surprise to me because I found it a more watchable movie than many of the supposedly successful Amitabh Bachchan movies like “Muqaddar Ka Sikandar”, “Suhaag” etc.

“Saawan Ko Aane Do” was a musical blockbuster that contained one amazing song after another. Most of these songs were sung by Yesudas and this movie to my mind constituted the finest hour that Yesudas enjoyed in his singing career in Bollywood. The music director was Rajkamal whereas different songs were written by different and mostly little known lyricists.

“Golmaal” was a light hearted movie, and I doubt that its songs were planned to be of anything more than timepass nature. But trust the Gulzar-R D Burman combination to take their jobs so seriously that they came up with this song in a timepass situation which went on to become an evergreen composition. In fact, for a long time, I used to wonder why people take this song so seriously. Finally I have shrugged my shoulders and reconciled myself to the fact that this song must be treated as a serious classic song.
