Today I present a ‘sensuous-seduction’ song by Asha Bhonsle sung for the movie ‘Gumraah-1976’. As mentioned earlier this movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time but it has now been made available on internet.

Our dear Satyajit jee has mentioned about the story of the movie in brief while presenting a song from this movie on the blog.

‘Main Wohi Hoon’ (1966) was produced by S A Mehmood and was directed by A Shamsheer. The cast included Feroz Khan, Kumkum, I S Johar, Madan Puri, Murad, Roopesh Kumar, Bela Bose, Lata Sinha, Mirza Musharraf etc. The film was a murder mystery.

I have watched the film for the first time only recently after reading the synopsis of the film’s story which appeared to be an interesting murder mystery. A sole daughter of a wealthy father wants to marry a middle-class man. The father has some apprehension because he has two other suitors for his daughter who are rich. But the daughter is adamant to marry her preferred man. Finally, the father has made his mind to go with his daughter’s preference but she is yet to be told of his decision. All the three suitors attend daughter’s birthday bash. Soon, the father is murdered by an unknown assailant. The main suspects are the three suitors who have met the father in the birthday bash and have indirect interest in his wealth if Asha becomes their prospective bride.

‘Aa Jaa Sanam’ (1975) was produced by S A Mehmood and was directed by Yusuf Naqvi. The cast included Feroz Khan and Tanuja in lead roles supported by Deven Verma, Shabnam, Sulochana Chatterjee, S N Banerjee, Shivraj, Mukri, Meenaxi, S A Baker, Kalyani Bai etc.

I have recently watched the film for the first time and I am surprised that it is shot in ‘Black and White’ for a 1975 released film by which time almost all the Hindi films were made in colour. Obviously, the film must have got held up for a long time before it was released. I guess that the film may have been shot around mid-1960s going by the trends of costume used by Feroz Khan who is seen with narrow bottom pants. By the starts of 1970, the fashion of bell-bottom pants was seen in many films. Also, the film has all three male voice songs of Mohammed Rafi whereas after the post-Aradhana (1969) period, Kishore Kumar would have got at least one song for the film if not more because the film distributors normally used to insist.
