“Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiyaa” (1966) had a story line that could send movie watchers a headache with its storyline. This movie, despite a good cast- Nutan, Dharmedra, Rehman etc, had a storyline that few people could digest, and few people did.

“Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiyaa” (1966) is a movie that is full of sensational songs but these songs were criminally wasted thanks to the boring and painful plot. Even leaving the brain behind (recommended for watching Hindi movies) does not work. One can enjoy these songs only when the characters on whom the song is picturised enjoy it, seeing that it is a romantic song. But the storyline ensures that Nutan is in no position to enjoy Dharmendra’s advances. She is not what Dharmendra thinks she is, rather she is a look alike and wife of Dharmendra’s best friend-Rehman) to boot. To make matters worse, Dharmendra wooing her has Rehman’s tacit approval too.

If the place had 30 plus movie halls then it was a A class city etc.

There are many movies which have titles like “beti”, “beta”, “bhai”, “bahan” and their various combinations. In fact, I tend to get confused among their various combinations. And to complicate matters, there may be different movies of the same name as well.

As qawwalis go, this qawwali was hugely popular in 1970s. In fact, if this movie “Dharma” (1973) is still remembered, it is solely because of this qawwali.

Most people may think that the most high energy Rafi songs have been sung for Shammi Kapoor. But which is the song where Rafi has been at his most energetic ?

I have talked about Rafi singing brilliant songs for Shammi Kapoor. This led to many imitators, who would make Shammi Kapoor movies by signing up Shammi Kapoor clones. Thus we had actors like Joy Mukherjee, Vishwajeet etc who had reasonably successful careeres playing Shammi Kapoor type roles.

It was a much loved song when it first started playing on loudspeakers and radio. And as happened with many songs of those days, it was soon forgotten, though it was one song that was very cute and adorable to listen to.

Sonik Omi, who were assistants to Madan Mohan for a long time, tended to suffer a fate similar to Madan Mohan as independent music directors.They would create outstanding music, but the movies where their music would be included would fail at the box office without a whimper. As a result, the career of Sonic Omi failed to take off despite the brilliance of their music.
