Dastaan (1972)
B.R. Chopra produced and directed this movie with Dilip Saab playing twin brothers. This was based on his earlier hit "Afsana" made in 1951. That movie starring Veena and Ashok Kumar in the dual role was a hit and established producer and director B.R. Chopra as someone to look forward to in future films. In a great career starting with several socially conscientious films he made several successful as well as entertaining movies. Later on he produced and co-directed with his son Ravi Chopra the epic "Mahabharata" serial. However, "Dastaan" was a complete miss. The original story written by I.S. Johar, who also re-wrote this 1972-version, didn't have the same spunk or soul. Only redeeming feature of this film was its great music by Laxmikant & Pyarelal. Almost all songs were huge hits with Rafi Saab's solo, "Na Tum Zameen Ke Liye" taking the honors. My favorite of the album is Asha's beautiful song, "Woh Koi Aaya". Asha packs so much emotion into the song that it engulfs you totally with mesmerizingly enchanting voice. Here are the songs from this film from an original soundtrack album... Attached image(s) |

Kabhi Kabhie (1976)
The story of this film is credited to Pamela Chopra, wife of Yash Chopra (producer and director of this film), but its inspiration was a poem penned by Sahir Saab, who wrote beautiful lyrics for this movie. Yash collaborated with Sahir in many movies. These include “Aadmi Aur Insaan (1969)”, “Daag (1973)”, “Deewar (1975)”, “Dharmaputra (1971)”, “Dhool Ka Phool (1959)”, “Joshila (1973)”, “Kaala Patthar (1979)”, “Kabhi Kabhie (1976)”, “Noorie (1979)”, “Trishul (1978)”, and “Waqt (1965)”. Most of these were huge hits. The film’s story got readied during 1973 when Yash was making “Daag (1972)” in which Rakhee was a costar. Chopra had a tentative agreement from Rakhee to appear in the planned production of “Kabhi Kabhie”. But in the three years from the time she agreed to appear in the movie until the movie was ready to go into production, Rakhee got married to the famous poet, producer, and director Gulzarji. It was Gulzarji’s wish to have Rakhee retire from the films altogether and therefore he wanted her not to appear in “Kabhi Kabhie”. It took all the persuasion form Yash to convince Gulzar Saab to let Rakhee be allowed to appear in the film. Yash is a very powerful and influential Mumbai film personality, and that left Gulzarji no choice but eventually to relent. This film was one of the last films to be shot in beautiful Kashmir. The scenic splendor of the natural beauty of the valley adds another dimension to the movie. But this film belonged to the music director Khayyamji and the lyricist Sahir Saab. If in “Phir Subah Hogi (1958)” they combined their talents to create songs of pathos, dejection, despair, delusion, and eventual hope, in this film it was all about love and laughter. The poet just lets the imagination fly composing very beautiful and youthful songs. Sahir and Khayyam worked in less than 10 movies (six I know of) and of them three were for Yash. Most of the songs from “Kabhi Kabhie” became very popular with standouts being both versions of the title track. Also, both versions of the solos by Mukeshji are simply outstanding. Lata adds a couple of beautiful solos of her own to the list. Then there are songs by Kishoreda, a solo and two duets to complete the list. “Kabhi Kabhie” was quite a departure for Amitabh who for the first time exhibited a romantic side as part of his histrionics. Most of Amitabh’s previous successes as a hero usually revolved around the image of an angry young man. The film was nominated for nine Filmfare awards in various categories. It walked away with four; for the Best Music (Khayyam), the Best Lyrics (Sahir Ludhianvi), the Best Male Playback Singer (Mukesh), and the Best Screenplay (Sagar Sarhadi). I am uploading all songs and some specials in three back-to-back posts. One of the specials in the first post is the song “Kabhi Kabhi” with a beautiful introduction by Yash Chopra. Yashji here regrets for not utilizing talents of Mukeshji more. This is taken from the album “Legends: Mukesh - The Soulful Voice (CD 5)”. Here is a description of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves … Attached image(s) |

Laila Majnu (1976)
The ancient tale of doomed lovers has been told often times. But this time, the lead players Rishi Kapoor and Ranjeeta, who made her debut with this film, make it more believable. Incidentally, Rishi’s uncle, Shammi Kapoor, himself played early in his career as Majnu in 1953 in the movie of the same title. Apart from Rishi’s performance, some of the best things going for this movie were its music, songs, and lyrics by Sahir Saab. This was to be a glorious chapter in the music director Madan Mohanji’s life. But alas, he passed away before completing his assignment. Jaidev took over for him and did a magnificent job. I am not sure the breakdown of the songs composer-wise. If anyone has this information, please kindly share. I am uploading these songs in three back-to-back posts. The first two posts contain songs from an original soundtrack album. The third post contains extended versions of some songs. Here is a description of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves… This post has been edited by swarapriya: Jul 18 2011, 01:21 PM Attached image(s) |
