It has been one of those big mysteries of Bollywood which I have not been able to fathom yet. Just why did Kala Patthar not become one of the biggest block-busters of all times! Heck, it is not even among the top 50 grossers of 1970’s (it was released in 1979)

Many of the songs I have posted on this blog so far have been songs of the 1970s. I will not be so presumptuous as to claim that these songs are any better than songs of another decade.

Roshan was a star and his grandson Hrithik Roshan is a star, but Rakesh Roshan, the father of Hrithik Roshan, was at best a middling actor, who somehow managed to make both ends meet. His career was floundering most of the time, and some timely hits would often revive his sagging fortunes.

There were five Mangeshkar siblings- four sisters and one brothers, viz, Meena, Lata, Asha (Bhonsle), Usha, and their brother Hridaynath. Out of the five, Lata and Asha were the two who have sung thousands of songs and they have gone on to become household names. Other three siblings have also sang songs in movies, but they are very few.

“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.
