I have mentioned earlier that Dev Anand outlived his stay as a leading man in Bollywood movies. as a result, many stories with great ideas flopped just because Dev Saab insisted on playing the hero in those movies. In fact, legend has it that Prakash Mehra had wanted to cast Dev Saab in “Zanjeer”. Dev Saab liked the role, but he wanted Prakash Mehra to sell him the story so that he could make this movie in his own way ( and hopefully add one more flop to his CV). Thankfully Prakash Mehra refused and the rest, as they say, is history with Amitabh Bachchan playing that role.

Aa gupchup gupchup pyaar karen

This evergreen song from “Sazaa” has been sung by Hemant Kumar, Sandhya Mukherjee and chorus. I have little idea what the singers of the chorus sing, and so I have not written down the lyrics of the chorus. They either sing gibberish, or sing in a language that I am not familiar with. If any reader can tell what the lyrics are, I will add that.
