This selection is from the 1964 Gemini production Zindagi. This film had a very good star line up, as in Rajendra Kumar, Rajkumar, Vijayantimala, Prithviraj Kapoor, Lila Chitnis, Mehmood, Jayant, Kanhaiyalal, Jeevan, Dhoomal, Helen, Mumtaz Begum, Heeralal, and Master Shahid. Ramanand Sagar, the director of this film, has been active in the Hindi cinema as a story and dialogue writer since the early 1950s. He directed his first film in 1953 (Mehmaan), but it was in 1960 that he really established himself as a director with the film Ghunghat. This was followed by Zindagi (1964) and Aarzoo (1965). He then established Sagar Arts International, his own production house an went on to produce and direct such famous hits like Aankhen (1968), Geet (1970), Lalkar (1972), Charas (1976), Prem Bandhan (1979) etc. Beyond all the film world creations, Ramanand Sagar is more famous for the TV serial Ramayan, which he created in 1987, whose success established him as a household name all over India.
