Today, February 13, 2026, is the 97th birth anniversary of Lekh Tandon, one of the versatile yet underrated Hindi filmmakers. Like Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Lekh Tandon made decent films with commercial appeal. He experienced many ups and downs in his filmy career of about five decades. Yet he never gave up the career until his death.
Lekh Raj Tandon (13/02/1929 – 17/10/2017) was born in Lahore. His father, Faqueer Chand Tandon was the classmate of Prithviraj Kapoor. His elder brother, Yograj Tandon was Urdu playwright and worked as a secretary to Prithviraj Kapoor. Lekh Tandon’s father wanted him to compete for Civil Engineering entrance examination of VJTI in Bombay (Mumbai). Sometime in summer vacation, Lekh Tandon visited Bombay and stayed with Prithviraj Kapoor. During his stay, he used to go with Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor for watching the film shoots. He instantly liked the medium of film and decided that he wanted to become the film director.

Recently, I came across an audio clip of a song from ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe’ (1998), a film directed by Lekh Tandon. Online resources shows that the film was completed in 1997 but remained unreleased. The audio album of the songs was released in January 1998. I got confused as there was another film in the same title with Mithun Chakraborty and Moon Moon Sen in lead roles which was released in 1989. Things got somewhat cleared when I came across an interview of Milind Gunaji, one of the main actors of the film, which appeared on rediff.com on January 9, 1998. He said that after the completion of about 70 percent of the shooting, Lekh Tandon left the film. However, after some time, he was persuaded to complete the film which he did in December 1997. Still the film did not get released.
