Few people today may have heard of this movie called “Ghazab” (1982). I , on the other hand, not only know about this movie, I have seen this movie and it is one of those movies that I liked. The story of this movie was different and that made me like this movie.

Umrao Jaan was a legendary courtesan of Lucknow, though few people outside Lucknow may be much aware of her. But all that changed in 1980 when the movie “Umrao Jaan” was released. And now, whenever one mentions Umra Jaan, one is reminded of Rekha. Just like many people think that Emperor Akbar looked like Prithviraj Kapoor, many people now think that Umrao Jaan looked like Rekha.

In 1970s, we had a genre of movies that were supposed to be fun movies, which were mainly directed by Bengali directors like Hrishikesh Mukherji, Basu Chatterji etc. These movies followed their own formula of comedy.

The charm of Hindi films for me began from the time I began watching them avidly. The charm lay in those unique features of the Hindi film; multi-starrer, great fight scenes, action-packed, zingy songs and scintillating dialogues. If this was coupled with a lost-and-found brother/friend plot, with messages on religious harmony, and with good triumphing over evil, what more could a teenager want!

While posting songs from the golden era of Bollywood movies, I have tended to concentrate more on the songs of 1950s and 1960s, even though I grew up with songs of 1970s. Just like we these days lament about the quality of Bollywood movie songs today and cite old Bollywood movie songs as the epitome of quality, the same lament was heard even in 1970s. Even I was under the impression that the quality of music in 1970s was not what it was in the earlier years. Now of course I can have a hearty laugh at my own expense with the benefit of hindsight.

Modern day TV watchers are familiar with Ekta Kapoor’s (Jeetendra’s daughter) TV serials. No, I am not talking about their content (which is trashy in any case) but about their titles. All of these titles have to start with “K”. Even where there is no scope for the letter “K” in the beginning of the title, this letter is somehow made to appear in the beginning of the title. If she decides to make a serial on “Atul’s blog”, then it would be called “Kahaani Atul’s blog ki” or ” Kyunki Atul ka bhi ek blog hai”.
