Kapoor khaandaan males were known to romance their would be wives on screen before tying up the knot in real life. Shammi Kapoor has done it, and Rishi Kapoor has done it. In case of Randhir Kapoor’s would be wife, Babita, I found her romancing Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor onscreen instead (Chhee Chhee !).

Jaan pehchaan to pahle se thhi

Though this song is from a movie of 1970s, I had not heard this song before. This song is from “Bhala Maanus” (1979) and it had Randhir Kapoor and his would be sister in law Neetu Singh in lead roles. Kapoor Khaandaan men are known for figuring in this kind of casting. Here randhir Kapoor was at least acting opposite his (would be) sister in law, his uncles (Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor) in too acted opposite Babita (Randhir Kapoor’s wife) in several movies.

When one talks of “Pukaar”, one means Sohrab Modi’s historical movie of 1939. But another movie of this name was released in 1983 which had Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman and Randhir Kapoor in lead roles.

Most of the time, I discuss songs that are evergreen, popular, iconic, outstanding, of high quality etc. But there are occasions when I love to discuss songs that fall short of such high standards. But I still like them, because listeneing/ watching them is fun.

Hema Malini tended to figure in rather “Bhartiya Naari” kind of songs, but there were occasions when she was seen singing in front of lowly creatures aka “kuttons and kameenos” much to the chagrin of Dharam ji.

Gum hai kisi ke pyaar mein

This movie “Rampur ka Laxman” is by and large forgotten by now. It had many newcomers in it, including Randhir Kapoor, Rekha, Shatrughan Sinha etc.
Movie may have been forgotten by now, but its songs are not. Though the songs were supposed to be timepass songs, many of them became popular not only during their time, but stayed popular with the passage of time as well. It speaks for the quality of these songs and their creators that we still like to listen to these songs.

We tend to discuss great songs from the past and go overboard discussing about the great message, great quality of melody, music, lyrics, voice etc contained in the songs. Here is one such song which has absolutely no pretentions of any kind about being a great song. It is a totally timepass song. This song was supposed to be there just to raise a few laughs in the movie. It indeed does so, but it has managed much more than that.
