In a reign of five years, from 1969 to 1973, he made a hit after hit that was unprecedented in the Hindi cinema history. He was working on stage when he won the talent contest by the United Producers of Bombay. These were the 10 producers who formed a team to select new talent as an answer to escalating salaries for the established stars. Rajesh's first movie was Chetan Anand's "Aakhri Khat" released in 1966. Inspite of a great director and some beautiful music, the film was a commercial failure. But things changed when in 1969, Shakti Samanta's "Aradhana" was released. The movie with its beautiful music and strong performance by Sharmila Tagore created history. In Rajesh Khanna, a star was born. And for the next few years, he couldn't do anything wrong. Rajesh made nearly 130 movies in his professional career.

This movie, made by Devar from Chennai, like most of his movies, animals take the center stage. Actors are there only as "peripherals". This movie was not much of an exception. Yet, the pull of Rajesh during his success spree was so strong that anything he touched turned into gold. This movie has some nice songs tuned by LP. There are six songs in this movie and most of them were popular. Especially, the solo by Kishore, "Chal Chal" was a chartbuster. Here is a description of the songs and the songs themselvs ...

Yes Swarapriya ji, this was made in Tamil too featuring K R Vijaya and M G Ramachandran (our ex Chief Minister of TN). - Nalla Neram 1972 (is the name of the movie )
