I have always been writing on old films, old songs, old artists, old anecdotes-in short, everything about old matters (what else you expect from an old man,anyway !). So,my post on a comparatively newer song,that too a Disco song may surprise some readers. It is sort of an anachronism, one may aver !

I tend to liken the journey of this blog to a train. But nowadays I find the comparison less appropriate because a train stops at intermediate stations for a while whereas we in this blog do not stop at any of the milestones and keep going along, though we may sometimes become somewhat slower than usual for various reasons. So that way, I find the comparison of this blog with a road journey somewhat more appropriate where one need not stop anywhere, and one can see milestones going past at high speed.

The Shammi-Arjun starrer Malhaar (1951), which was conceived by S.K.Pal and directed by Harish, was first of the two films produced under the banner of Darling Films by singer Mukesh (the other being “Anuraag” in 1956). It had a young and largely inexperienced cast and crew, for many of whom it was their debut vehicle. The film was a showpiece of technical brilliance, especially the taut and precise editing by S. Prabhakar and deft cinematography by M. Rajaram, considering the equipment available to him in that era.

Few people today remember this movie called “Ahsaas” (1979). This movie was a quicky movie produced by G P Sippy in the interim period between his two big movies viz. “Sholay” (1975) and “Shaan”(1980). “Ahsaas” (1979) was produced with newcomers with names that no one had heard of. Who were the lead pair in this movie ? Frankly no one seems to recall including me. It was one of those few movies that I had watched first day first show ! And what a disaster of a movie it was. Now others who are into watching first day first show (FDFS), like for instance Santosh Ojha, watch blockbusters like “Trishul”. On the other hand, it is my misfortune to watch dud movies like “Ahsaas” (1979) and “Shalimaar” (1978) in FDFS. Bahut naainsaafi hai.
