Hi all
After long I found time to put my thoughts down.
So I was thinking of a few movies which used the same story idea like for example ” Khatta Meetha” (1978) and “Hamare tumhare” (1979). Both were inspired by the 1968 Lucille Ball -Henry Fonda movie “Yours Mine And Ours”. Then in the year 2002 we had a similar situation where Rajkumar Santoshi decided to make “The Legend Of Bhagat Singh” and Dharamendra made “23rd March 1933”. And we all know the source of inspiration for these movies. And this list will include other movies too- that is same story idea and releasing around the same time. (My Peevesie reminds me that we had 2 other movies that year with the Bhagat Singh story.)

This is the only song missing from Kitaab (1977) on this blog. The song is a beggar song. The beggar is played by Dr. Shreeram Lagoo.

This is the last song of Doosri Sita (1974). Quite interesting to see that the film has basically only three songs. Since one of them has three versions, a person watching the film would have the effect of listening to five songs.

The failure of Doosri Sita(1974) at the box-office resulted in the disappearance of the good musical score of this film from the collective memory. My favourite from this film is this highly melancholic background song.

“Doosri Sita” got released in 1974 and sank without a trace, taking with it the musical score. Only in the course of R D Burman revival, did the songs resurface again. I remember listening to them on radio in the late 70s and early 80s on Vividh Bharati. The name Doosri Sita, though never really registered itself in my mind.

“Kashish” (1980) is a movie of recent vintage by the standards of this blog, but I had never heard of this movie before. And very little informations seems to be available about this movie. Accordng to imdb, this movie was direced by written and directed by Amin Q Chaudhary and this movie had Navin Nischol, Vinod Mehra and Reena Roy. That plus the information that B R Ishara was also involved in writing the story, is all the information that seems to be available about this movie.

One thing that we can depend upon for with Gulzar, is the most imaginative use of simple words that combine to make unusual arrangements, and still carry a very deep and pleasing meaning. A meaning that will always resonate in the mind, creating emotions of satisfaction, no matter whether the thread of feelings in the words is happy or sad. I have always been a great fan of Gulzar Sb’s poetry, the eminently simple verses that he creates to so lucidly express in such a few words, the emotions that one would be searching for words to make sense.

I have been an admirer of Gulzar’s films ever since I saw his film ‘Parichay’ (1972). I have seen all of his films released till 1982 and thereafter I have watched most of his subsequent films either on TV or on VCDs/DVDs. His films may not be a box office bonanza for film distributors but his ‘middle of the road’ films revolving around the intricate human relationship are a treat to watch for an audience of the good films.
