I have felt like writing after many days. Many reasons for the long absence. But I just had to write when I remembered this particular song. First because of the unusual pairing –Rajesh Khanna Reena Roy, second I found that this was a different Naushad song ( I do not know if he has given music to any Rajesh Khanna movie. IMDB says this is the only one) And then lastly it was very popular during my growing up years.

The imagination of Indian film story writers is truly very fertile. In fact it runs wild when they have to invent some novel theme for the usual “Ghisa-Pita” story like Tarzan.

Dev Anand’s dedication and commitment to the medium and the industry is well visible to all. Past the seventies when the box office appeal had shifted to the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Sanjeev Kumar, and Vinod Khanna etc., he continued to be at the helm of film making, and continued to produce and direct films with an uncanny regularity, all the way till his departure from this world. Majority of his later films did not attract much critical or commercial attention, but nonetheless, that did not deter him from his work and his passion.

Remembering (belatedly) Vijay Anand on the anniversary of his passing away (23 Feb, 2004).
Really very few artists and film makers in the industry have been as versatile as Vijay Anand has been. Active in the industry since the early 1950s, Vijay is the youngest of the three Anand brothers. He did have an advantage of two elder siblings, Chetan Anand and Dev Anand, having made a place for themselves in the industry, when he also decided to take the plunge. And under the umbrella of his illustrious seniors, he had the opportunity to delve and develop a multi faceted career. In a career that spans more than five decades, Vijay Anand, or Goldie as he was known to his friends, made his mark as a screenplay and dialogue writer, as a director, as a producer, as an editor, and as an actor. His works are limited, given the span of his career, but the quality of his work speaks for itself. The films he has directed are outstanding, and he is acknowledged as the best director for picturization of songs, in the Indian film industry. In this aspect of film making, which is supremely significant given the musical nature of Indian cinema, he is without a peer.
