1969 was the debut year for Bindu and Vinod Khanna was just one year into the industry (having his debut in the ‘Man Ka Meet’ (1968)). In personal life, Bindu was already a married lady by this time. As far as I can review her filmography, the film Nateeja (1969) is apparently the only film in which she has played the role of a leading lady. Having played small roles in Anpadh (1962), as the college going daughter of Mala Sinha, and a supporting role in Aurat (1967), 1969 was the year that that she arrived on the film scene with five releases to her credit, viz. Doli, Ittefaaq, Do Raaste, Aayaa Saawan Jhoom Ke and Nateeja. With a combination of both positive and negative roles, she made her mark this year, and embarked on a career that would make her famous as Mona Darling (Zanzeer, 1971). She played the oomph girl in many films (Kati Patang (1971), Hawas (1974), Imtihaan (1974) etc.), and she also did serious supporting roles in Abhimaan (1973), Chaitaali (1975), Arjun Pandit (1976) etc.

Most mainstream movies of 1960s and 1970s were not complete without a cabarat song. And Helen was the first name that came to a movie makers mind while thinking about a cabarat. Similarly, the first name that a music director thought of for singing such songs was Asha Bhonsle.

Kati Patang was a musical blockbuster, in addition to being a box office hit. All its songs went on to become popular and some of them are counted as evergreen hits.

Prem Chopra and Bindu were the villain and the vamp in this movie. Prem Chopra had a memorable dialogue in this movie- “Prem naam hai mera, Prem Chopra”. Bindu had an entire cabaret song for herself where she declares- “Mera naam hai Shabnam, pyar se log mujhe Shabbo kahte hain”.
