“Aa gale lag jaa” (1973) was a run of the mill movie, but it caught public imagination because of this particular song. This song had two versions. The grown up version was sung by Kishore Kumar and it was picturised on Shashi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore as a “nature song” -as it was picturised on hills. The other version of the song was a party song and it had a kid singing in addition to Kishore Kumar. Kishore Kumar once again sings for Shashi Kapoor whereas the kid Sushma Shreshtha sang for Master Tito.

“Swayamwar” (1980) was a nice movie with a “Chandamama” style story. And that was not surprising, because this movie was produced by the same people who were the owners of this popular childrens’ magazine.

When I look at the star cast of “Bandi” (1957), I notice that it had all the Ganguly brothers viz Ashok Kumar, Anoop Kumar and Kishore Kumar in it and the three leading ladies in this movies were Bina Rai, Shyama and Nanda. That way this movie must have been like “Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi”. I wonder what happened to “Bandi” at the box office. With this kind of star cast, the movie certainly promised so much.
