Rajesh Khanna, The Super Star
Rajesh Khanna was dubbed as the first Super Star of the Hindi screen. 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. One of our Forum members, Debjyoti, gave me this idea to start a thread on the songs of his albums. By happy coincidence I have CDs of almost all of his movie albums. In the coming months, I will start sharing these albums in chronological order. Here is part one of Rajesh Khanna's filmography ... Attached image(s)

Aakhri Khat (1966)
Rajesh Khanna made his debut with this movie. The movie was produced and directed by Chetan Anand. There are are five songs in this movie with Khayyam as usual brilliant in composing these songs. Especially the song by Lataji, "Baharo Mera Jeevan Bhi Sanwaro" is one of her alltime tops. My favorite from the album is Bhupinder's beautiful song "Rut Jawaan Jawaan Raat Meharbaan". Lyrics were written by the incomparable Kaifi Azmi. Now for the details of the songs and the songs themselves ... Attached image(s)

Nice Thread, Swarapriya.
Starting with AAKHRI KHAT is a bit surrealistic. You seem to have a devilish sense of humour. Keep up the good work. I am a big fan of your offerings in HF. And a very HAPPY & MUSICAL New Year. Regards, Suresh |

Swarapriya,
Another great thread on RK, this time Rajesh Khanna. He was a craze specially for his female fan. I remember reading in some magazine one of his fans made his portrait with her blood. Like Raj Kapoor and Mukesh Rajesh Khanna and Kishore Kumar were synonymous. Looking forward to more u/l on this thread but plesae don't ignore the Raj Kapoor thread. R a m e s h
