“Naseeb” was supposed to be a sequel of “Amar Akbar Anthony” with the same cast of brothers. But unfortunately Vinod Khanna was into following Acharya Rajneesh those days and so he had to be replaced by Shatrughan Sinha. Amitabh and Rishi Kapoor continued from the previous movie as did Pran from the previous movie as their father.
As if bringing together a big star cast of leading stars was not enough, the song “John Jaani Janardan” brings together a galaxy of other current and retired filmstars of Bollywood. In fact this song has been aped in the 2008 movie “Om Shanti Om” too, though not with the same effect.

Young kids growing up in India learn as much of their vocabulary from family members and friends as from Bollywood movies and songs. I learnt the meaning of “ladki pasand karna” for the first time when I heard my mother advising her brother (mama for me) to get married ( “Shaadi kar lo. Koi ladki pasand kar lo”).
As if on cue, this song ” maine ek ladki pasand kar li” started blaring on loudspeakers after a few days. And thanks to my newfound knowledge ( gained by overhearing my mother), I knew the meaning of the phrase “ladki pasand kar li”.

S D Burman would typically sing a song at the beginning of the movie that would become an immortal song. “Zindagi Zindagi” also had such an opening song sung by the maestro that became immortal.
“Zindagi Zindagi” went one better. Not only did the movie open with a S D Burman classic song, the movie ended likewise too. And the song that plays at the close of the movie is just as standout as the opening song.

I have mentioned it earlier that S D Burman tended to have one philosophical song in his movies at the start. Credits would appear on the screen accompanied by the voice of S D Burman singing a song that would set the tone for the movie. This was the case in “Guide”, as well as “Amar Prem”.
There was a movie released just after Amar Prem, which also had a song like this. Unlike the above mentioned movies, this movie “Zindagi Zindagi” was not successful. And I am very disappointed with this fact. I have heard laments that most Bollywood movies are hackneyed. But when some good off beat movies are produced, the audience do not have the maturity to appreciate them.

Rajesh Khanna had acted opposite many actresses right from seniors like Asha Parekh and Sharmila Tagore to his contemporaries like Hema Malini and Rekha as well as juniors like Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. There are many Bollywood stars who have acted opposite their wives before marrying them. Rajesh Khanna did not acted against Dimple, but he did something rare. He is perhaps the only leading actor who has acted against his sister in law in a movie.

This song is from circa 1970s, picturised on Sanjeev Kumar and Sharmila Tagore on a hill station. Do you say “mausam” ? Think again.
This song is from a movie that was released one year prior to “mausam”. Lata Mangeshkar is indeed the female singer, but the male singer here is Kishore Kumar, and the music director is R D Burman. For the record, R D Burman could do no wrong in those days. But the same could not be said about the makers of the movies in which he gave music.

Nostalgia has always been a good topic for songs. There have been quite a few nostalgic songs in Bollywood movies that have become evergreen. Even among nostalgic songs, songs recalling one’s childhood tend to become most unforgettable of all such songs.
One of the most well known and well remembered nostalgic song about childhood is this song from “Devar” sung by Mukesh. This song is unlikely to be forgotten with time. It is simply timeless. Mukesh’s haunting voice and Anand Bakshi’s Shailendra like lyrics, not to forget Roshan’s timeless music, has seen to it.

This was one song that I found extremely romantic on its day. The lyrics say it all, and say it directly, no beating about the bush. And as a kid not even in my teens, I certainly loved such direct approach.
It was supposed to be a timepass song, but I like this song even today. This song shows that even such songs which are not aiming for immortality could become memorable if they are carefully crafted. Those were the days when Rajesh Khanna was on his ascendancy, and whatever he touched, turned to gold, and this movie “Aan Milo Sajna” was no exception.

Most of the time we like to listen to songs that are of high quality- viz evergreen song, songs touching our hearts etc.
Then there are some songs that are created without such lofty ideals in mind. These songs are just the need of the story- they serve the need of the story and are forgotten.
Here is one such song. The girl (Hema Malini) is unhappy with the boy (Dharamendra ) and wants to “teach” him a lesson by flirting with another person and thus making Dharamendra jealous.
