Dev Anand was well past his sell by date as a hero in 1970s, but Dev Saab did not realise that and continued to act in one flop movie after another. In the process, many nice songs picturised on him suffered the same fate as the movie.

“Zakhmee” (1975) had quite a few wonderful songs. For long I thought that these songs were composed by R D Burman. It was much later that I realised that this movie in fact was the debut movie of Bappi Lahiri as a music director.

Bollywood movie makers often tend to have same titles as that of old movies. For instance, I am aware of three movies titled “Adhikar”.
