When one talks of “Safar”, I am reminded of a 1970 movie by this name starring Rajesh Khanna. But there was another movie by this name that was released in 1946. Not much is known about this movie, at least to me, but it seems that this movie had actors called Kanu Roy, S L Puri, V H Desai, Shobha etc. Naseem Akhtar (never heard of this name) was a singer in this movie.

There were quite a few songs containing “Zindagi” in their lyrics those days, and almost all of them were very popular songs. In fact, it was like each one of these songs gave a different interpretation of “Zindagi”. Some song would call “Zindagi” “ek paheli”, some would call it a “naatak”, some would call it a “khel” etc.

“Safar” was a Rajesh Khanna movie of 1970. One thing that is noticeable about this movie is its songs. Quite a few of its songs became very popular.
Rajesh Khanna was just beginning his bull run as a superstar in late 1960s. Safar was one of the earlier movies of that time. That era coincided with an even bigger bull run begun by Kishore Kumar as a singer and R D Burman as music director. But the shape of things to come could not have been predicted from this movie. Here Mukesh sings for Feroz Khan ( yes, this Rajesh Khanna movie had Feroz Khan too ) and Kalyanji Anandji scores the music. One year later, it would all be about Rajesh Khanna, Kishore Kumar and R D Burman in a Rajesh Khanna movie.
