“Laawaaris” (1981) was a movie of the time when Amitabh was at the zenith of his career when the only way for him was to go downhill. Those were the days when moviewatchers went to the movie to watch Amitabh Bachchan the superstar, not Amitabh Bachchan the actor. Amitabh Bachchan and his producers had started to rest on the laurels that he had won in the past years. It was expected that the same old tired storyline would continue to wrk in movie after movie. And so it proved too.

I had neither heard the name of the movie nor this song, but this song appears a good one to listen to. This song is from “Juaari” (1968). 1968 was a yera that I regard as the plainum year for Bollywood music, and this yera saw many great songs ending up being forgotten just because there were far too many great songs jostling up for limited spaces this year. The songs from “Juaari” were certainly such songs. The fact that this movie did not do well at the box office must have been a factor too. But then what can one do when the hero of the movie is Shashi Kapoor ? 😉

This song was among the most popular songs of 1970s, especially among pre teens like me. But I had no inkling which movie this song was from, though I guessed that this song must be from some well known movie.
