I sincerely believe that parents should take care of their kids and they should not deprive them of their basic requirements. And what did a kid like me want in 1972 as his basic requirement ? I badly wanted to see “Seeta Aur Geeta” (1972). The songs of this movie had such a pied piper like effect that everyone was attracted towards the movie halls screening this movie. My elders too agreed to take me to watch this movie and I was so happy with the prospect of being able to watch the movie and to have the best moment of my life till then.

Though I have not watched the movie”Taqdeer” (1967) , I have a fair bit of idea about its story line mainly thanks to its songs.

Then song is bound to move the watchers.

Kankariyaa maare karke ishaare

I have barely heard the name of this movie called “Menhdi Lagi Mere Haath”(1962). I plead not guilty for being unaware of this movie. My defence is that this movie had Shashi Kapoor and Nanda in lead roles and that is a strong enough reason for a normal movie to end up as an obscure movie.

Late 1960s was when Bollywood movie music was at its zenith. The quality and quantity of great songs those days was just mind boggling. Many great songs created those days found themselves to be marginalised and elbowed out in this stiff competition.
