“Satyakaam” (1969), which was a critically acclaimed movie that failed at the box office, had some nice songs in it which have sadly been forgotten with time. And there are people like me who never heard the songs of this movie, despite living though that era.

II have barely heard of this movie called “Maharaja” (1970). This movie had Sanjay Khan and Nutan in it, and this movie must have sung without a trace when it was released in 1970. To this day, I have not been able to understand how Sanjay Khan made it in Hindi movies as a hero. I in fact wonder if he ever had a loyal fan following that most heroes have.Compared to him, someone like Shashi Kapoor (whom I regard as no good) should be regarded as a superstar. If one has to make a list of movies that succeeded because of Sanjay Khan, one may well draw a blank. I am not at all surprised if this movie “Maharaja” (1970) fell miserably at the box office.

In 1950s and 1960s,in every Indian household, one could see photographs of Mahatma Gandhi (Father of the nation), Rajendra Prasad (First President of India) and Jawaharlal Nehru (First Prime Minister of India). Then some people also had a few more photographs of a few more important leaders, viz Sardar Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose etc.
