Kalpana Karthik
Song: aajaa pancchi akela hai
Film: Nau Do Gyarah [1957]; MD: S. D. Burman; Lyrics: Majrooh; Singers: Asha Bhosle & Mohd. Rafi
Baazi [1951] brought him together with his future wife Kalpana Karthik, who acted till they got married only in his films. Kalpana Karthik was, I think the simple girl, to whom he could go for solace after being rejected by the super star Suraiya. Even in their films together she never tried to overshadow him. Nau Do Gyarah was their last film together.
You are right, it seems he made a good pairing with nearly every heroine he was with. Talking about Sharmila, I wonder why nobody paired them before and after Yeh Gulistan Hamara. Okay, after is easily explained, since the film was a huge flop, but why not before?
No it is not a joke, it is for real, but I will let Ava elaborate. We have two star-kids in our midst, Ava & Shilpi.
LOL @ that Kalaabaaz song, another movie I paid money to see in a theatre; just wondering if I could get a refund.
I was in a hurry when I posted the article today at noon. Only after I came back home in the evening that I realised the chaos in the post. Now I have put it in order, at least I think so, if you find anything wrong do please report! ?
Kanchi re, kanchi re is so much fun! Poor Mumtaz was poora sidelined by Zeenat in the film. She even broke a union rule of not signing certain amount of roles to be in this film.
I like the way they throw the wool around.
I also liked their pairing in Tere Mere Sapne. Mumtaz was very angry for not getting the Best Actress trophy for that film. It had fabulous songs like,
jaise radha ne mala japi

Same with me, Madhu! Sometimes in the 70s, his films started to bore me, although I liked his Johnny Mera Naam and even Joshilay. But all the same he looked good for his age and also his films had different themes and they were not run-of-the-mill products. But somehow I think, he was hampered in the execution of these hatke topics. Otherwise nobody dared to take up topics like that of god men (Swami-Dada), cricket (Awwal Number), to name few.
Yeah, he was good-looking! Looking at him, one had a feeling of being taken away to a different, care-free world!
Suchitra Sen and he looked good together in Bombai ka Babu. And the songs were awesome!
The song Deewana mastana is my personal favourite and the sun filtering through the deodar trees, it does make one deewana mastana!
I hardly know anything about Sarhad. Will have to look up the songs on You Tube.
