Rajshri Productions movies of 1970s tended to have their music ( as well as lyrics) by Ravindra Jain, till Ram Laxman took over in 1980s. In that respect, “Uljhan”, a 1975 Rajshri Productions movie was an exception. Its music was composed by Kalyanji Anandji whereas M G Hashmat was the lyricist.

Amitabh Bachchan movies in 1970s tended to have quite a few songs about friendships. In fact, I can readily count 4-5 such songs off the cuff – from Zanjeer, Sholay etc. In fact, two of his movies containing such songs had their titles like “Yaaraana” and “Dostana”. 😉 Another actor “specialising” in movies with such titles was Shatrughan Sinha, who in addition to figuring in “Dostana” was there in “Dost” as well.

“Saraswati Chandra” was a movie with Manish and Nutan in the lead. Nutan was ofcourse a well known name for one decade, but this person Manish was a debutant and this movie turned out to be his first and last appearance on the silver screen and he was soon forgotten.

I have listened to this song many a times and it appears a typical Raj Kapoor movie song all the way. It is obviously sung by Mukesh. And I was convinced that Shailendra and Shankar Jaikishan have to be the lyricist and Music directors respectively. So I was mightily surprised to know that I was off target. The lyricist for this movie Chhaliya is Qamar Jalalabadi and the music director duo is Kalyanji Anandji for this movie. And I must say that they have done very good imitation of Shailendra and Shankar Jaikishan, who were they the top lyricist and music director in Bollywood.

In Bollywood movies, hero woos the lady by singing a song, where he may make tall promises (I will love you for hundred births, I will turn the world topsy turvy for your sake etc). Then there are songs where the boy teases the girl, and the girl, despite taking serious exceptions, somehow begins to respond to hero’s advances as the song progresses.

I accidentally stumbled upon this song yet again, and I was immediately reminded of 1972 when this song was very popular with most listeners. This song was regularly played in Radio Ceylon in the aaphi ke geet farmaishi programme. Its farmaish was sent not only from Jhumri Tilaiyya, but from other farmaish happy places as well.
