Teesra Kaun has a plot, which sounds to be very Hitchcockian. It is of a man on the run after being falsely accused of robbery cum murder. One would think, such a story wouldn’t give much of an opportunity for songs. But this being a Hindi film, there are in fact many beautiful songs in it. The music director being R D Burman. This song particularly doesn’t sound R D Burmanesque. I would have thought it to be from Shankar-Jaikishan.

In my last post I hoped that Saanp se badhke mera zehar hai would be the last song entry for Zehreela Insaan (1974). Prakashji, with his infinite knowledge of Hindi film songs, though threw water on this hope, when he showed me the existence of this song. Thanks Prakashji! 🙂

Happy (belated) Birthday Danny Denzongpa!!! (DOB 25 february 1948)
How people succeed in their lives after initial struggles and sometimes even after deviating from their original career option (which they have envisaged earlier) has always been a subject of interest for me.
I find such people as inspirational role-models for others. Their success stories are based on perseveresnce and doggedness. They are not only successful, they also contribute in the development of Arts and Culture in Society.

I think and hope that this is the last song from Zehreela Insaan (1974) to be published here and thus it would put the name of the film in red colour in the list. This is the title song of the movie explaining why the main protagonist of the film is called zehreela insaan (poisonous man).
PS-Thanks to Prakashchandra, now we know that there is one more song in this movie that is left to be covered.

Dev Anand’s dedication and commitment to the medium and the industry is well visible to all. Past the seventies when the box office appeal had shifted to the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Sanjeev Kumar, and Vinod Khanna etc., he continued to be at the helm of film making, and continued to produce and direct films with an uncanny regularity, all the way till his departure from this world. Majority of his later films did not attract much critical or commercial attention, but nonetheless, that did not deter him from his work and his passion.

“Zehreela Insaan”(1974), Rishi Kapoor’s second release flopped badly at the box-office. Prakashchandra, a dedicated contributor to this blog, has commented on it here. This film was also the first one to have Rishi-Neetu pairing. Rishi Kapoor has two heroines to romance in this film. The first is Moushumi Chatterjee, whose father marries her off to somebody else. His sadness at the loss is short, he meets another girl at his college with whom he falls in love with. The song yeh silsila pyaar se chalaa marks the beginning of this tempestuous love story.

In my last post on the song from “Zehreela Insaan” (1974), I gave a short synopsis of the movie. This song, filmed on Rishi Kapoor and Moushumi Chatterjee, shows them in happier times. Since they are playing college students here, they have most probably bunked classes to meet and sing a song. This seems to be a popular haunt with the main protagonist of the film. Three songs of the film are shot here.

It seems like “Saveray Wali Gaadi”(1986) makes a debut on this blog with this song. This reflects the fact that the film is hardly remembered now. The reason behind that is that the movie was not highly successful. Thus also sank the beautiful soundtrack of the movie. The songs are not vintage Pancham-stuff but they are very hummable and much better than what his stable would churn out in the later part of the 80s.

“Zehreela Insaan” (1974) was Rishi Kapoor’s second movie after his debut as a lead actor in “Bobby” (1973). He took a major risk going from his chocolate hero in “Bobby” to a hero with dark shades in “Zehreela Insaan”. The box-office, unfortunately, didn’t think highly of this commendable act. The film flopped and from then on he hardly ventured into this territory again.

Now it is finally the time for this song. This is waiting in the sidelines for almost two years now. I sent the lyrics for this song long back. And as I do usually, I had been waiting patiently for this song to be be posted.
