Trivia

Album

• This was the second of Basu Bhattacharya's trilogy of films which told stories of marital discord in modern, urban families. The other films in the trilogy were "Anubhav" (1971) and "Griha Pravesh" (1979). All three films had music by Kanu Roy. Ironically, for someone who depicted marital life with great sensitivity, Basu Bhattacharya himself had a tumultuous married life. He married Rinki Bhattacharya, the daughter of his mentor, director Bimal Roy, in 1961 against the wishes of Roy. After years of abuse, Rinki left Basu Bhattacharya in 1982 and went on to make documentaries and write extensively on the topic of domestic violence. The couple got formally divorced in 1990.[1][2][3]

Song

• Hansne Ki Chaah Ne Kitna Mujhe Rulaya Hai - Lyricist Kapil Kumar wrote the lyrics of this song on the back of bus tickets he found lying around while travelling by bus to Bandra.[4]
• Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaye - Ostensibly a song in which a bride laments about her separation from her parents, this song is actually about separation from one's homeland. It was written by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Awadh when the British exiled him to Calcutta from his kingdom in Lucknow.
• Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaye - This was the first time the singer couple Jagjit and Chitra Singh sang together for a Hindi film song. It was also Jagjit Singh's official debut in Hindi films. He had earlier sung the song "Hulle Hullare" ("Ek Thi Reeta", 1971) but was not credited for it.[5]
