Second week of may 1973 must have been very tense for Amitabh Bachchan. His very career hinged on the success of a movie that was being released on 11 may 1973. If this movie flopped at the box office then Amitabh Bachchan had decided to pack his bags and go back to Allahabad.

I have been on a old movie watching spree recently. So far managed to see “Mere Mehboob” , “Deedar” and “Kaagaz ke Phool”. As it is, it is taking me 2-3 days to complete the film, because I do not like to miss a single scene or dialogue in the film. It has been a longtime wish to see “Kaaghaz ke Phool” which is finally fulfilled. Having seen “Pyaasa” I was somehow expecting a similar pathos laden fare. But this film is lot different as it is rather brighter with the spirit of ‘lights camera action’.

We have been discussing in this blog scores of songs from lesser known films which are gems but lost out soon after those films failed miserably at the box office. A few among those films even failed to get released. Surely, the producers and financiers of these films must have lost the money they invested. But in the event, the performances of other artists associated with such films went unnoticed. Music Director Vinod was one of such artists who despite the phenomenal success of the film ‘Ek Thhi Ladki’ (1949), could not sustain the success for long as most of his subsequent films did not fare well at the box office despite having melodious songs composed by him for those films. Those songs went out of circulation and faded as quickly as the respective films. Thanks to internet, we now have access to those gems to be shared with the lovers of old Hindi film songs.

In Hindi film industry, more than the talent in the chosen field, one needs to be saleable in terms of box office success to become a successful artist. In addition, one needs to have a godfather in the Hindi film industry like a producer/director belonging to a big banner film production company. In the sphere of music direction, there were many talented maestros in the 50s and 60s who composed some memorable songs for the Hindi films. But they could not sustain themselves for long thus failing to make it to the big league of music directors of Hindi film industry. They did not have godfathers in the film industry. Some of them did not become saleable despite churning out beautiful songs.
