“Shehzaadaa” (1972) is one of the lesser known movies of Rajesh Khanna, at least as far as I am concerned. It must have flopped badly for me to have missed hearing about this movie during its time, though I could be wrong.

If Rekha celebrates her birthday on 10th october then can Amitabh Bachchan be far behind ? He celebrates his birthday the very next day, viz. 11th october. And that gives me an opportunity (rather command from my regular readers) to post Amitabh Bachchan songs on this opportunity.
