Different people may have different ways of judging movies. I read an old joke in this connection some three decades ago. A Pathan from Afghanistan came to India and looked at a poster of a movie . He was very impressed with the title of the poster and he went to watch that movie. after THE END, he came out very frustrated and disappointed. He was asked the reason for his disappointment. “The poster promised that the movie had Chiraag Khan and Roshni Khan in it. I watched the entire movie , but I could not find either of the Khans in this movie.” The Pathan explained.

The cast of this movie included names like Ashok Kumar, Nanda,Leela Naidu, Joy Mukherjee, Tuntun, Agha, Leela Misra etc. This movie must have sunk without a trace, because I have not heard of this movie despite this movie getting released when I was at my most alert and curious as a pre teen kid.

There is one big loss that the society faces of the demise of the radio broadcasts, and the rise of television and other devices. In the decades of 60s and 70s, and maybe even 80s, when radio was the prime mover of entertainment, one could bank upon hearing it somehow, someplace, every place through the day.
