When I was growing up in late 1960s and early 1970s, I was upset with oldtimer movie makers of earlier decades. Why did the oldtimers create such “boring” songs. And secondly, why would they give their movies the same titles as the movies of 1970s. 🙂 Yes, I blamed old movie makers for their titles like Dushman(1938),Jugnu (1947), Anokhi Ada(1948), Andaaz(1949), Samadhi (1950), Aankhen(1951) etc which were the same titles vis a vis titles of new movies released in late 1960s and early 1970s. Whenever I heard an announcement in Akashwani that a song of the abovementioned movies was going to be played, I eagerly looked forward to listening to a new song, but I felt badly let down on finding that the song played was from an old movie of the same name.

So it is not as if he was carrying the movie on his shoulders.

“Pyaar” (1950), which must easily be the shortest and most generic of all Hindi movie titles, had Raj Kapoor and Nargis in lead roles. and this movie ironically is one of the lesser known movies of this legendary pair.
