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.

In olden days, many relations were one sided relations in real as well as reel lives. For instance, it was a seller’s market then and the buyer had to be content with whatever he got. In education, teacher would teach and the pupils would listen. Pupils were discouraged from asking questions in case they had any doubts.

Recently our dear Arunkumarji had begun a new series where in he was featuring songs of those actors who are not trained singers but who have sung a line or two in some song or other in their own voice. That means basically he is showing us the image se hatke side of the actors. The song which I am writing about is also image se hatke for the actor concerned.
