The other day someone commented on this blog, that “Dosti” (1964) is a film which has all but one songs sung by Rafi. The commentor had also queried if Atul ji could name a film with all song sung by Rafi. When I saw that comment, the first movie that came to my mind was ‘Sargam'(1980). With Rishi Kapoor singing all the songs and Jaya Prada playing a mute girl, it had 7 songs, 3 Rafi solos and 4 Rafi-Lata Duets. Than I remembered that even ‘Laila Majnu” had all but one Rafi song.

“Kabhi Kabhi” (1976) was a movie that I became aware of when its title song began to play on radio. I found the title song quite antiquated in its tune. Those were the days when anything not sung by Kishore Kumar or not composed by R D Burman was regarded as old by me. I found that the music of this movie was composed by someone called Khayyam. and that is how I became familiar with this name.

A few days back on the occasion of Amitabh and Rekha’s birthday I spoke of how famous or popular or well received their pairing was in Bollywood movies. There were other such equally popular jodis. Viz. Rishi Kapoor- Neetu Singh, Vinod Mehra- Moushmi Chaterjee, Rajesh Khanna with Sharmila Tagore, Rajesh Khanna with Mumtaz, Rajesh Khanna with Asha Parekh etc in my growing up years. Actually I thought that Jaya Bhaduri never made a geat pair on screen with Amitabh, I liked her more with Sanjeev Kumar or even Jeetendra. There were popular pairing in the previous generation of stars too. But I think we have more knowledgeable people in our group to list them. Now what made a pairing popular was how well they looked together or how had their movie fared at the box office or how much recall value their songs had.

After the box office failure of “Mera Naam Joker”(1970), Raj Kapoor was a shaken and disillusioned man. When he decided to make a comeback, he decided to play safe and he made a teenage love story and not a serious philosophical movie. The old musical team that had served him well for the past two decades was summarily discarded and a new musical team was signed up for “Bobby”(1973).
