Today (25 july) is the death anniversary of G S Kohli. He is one of those unsung music directors who deserved to get far more opportunities than what he actually got.

The personality personified in these two lines “Dil Hai Hamaara Phool Se Naazuk, Baazu Hain Faulaad” – that is the image of Dara Singh that I have always carried with me. A childhood hero, a super powerful man, who was always friendly and helpful for the needy, and was a scourge for the baddies.

When one listens to the songs of the golden era, one realises that the overall quality of the songs was quite high. Not just the big name music directors, even small time music directors were creating quality stuff. The only difference between big names and small names was marketability, otherwise qualitywise, even music directors confined to B and C grade movies were just as good as the A grade music directors.

Shikari (1963) was a B-movie, starring Ajit and Ragini. I had the pleasure of watching it a few months ago and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
