Trivia


 

    Album

  • This was the second of the series of three films in which Gulzar directed Jeetendra. The other two films were "Parichay" (1972) and "Kinara" (1977). Two of these films were produced by Jeetendra's banner Tirupati Pictures - this film and "Parichay" (1972). All three films had R.D. Burman's music and Gulzar's lyrics.[1][2]
  • This film was based on the Bengali novel "Panditmashai" by Sarat Chandra Chatterjee. The novel had previously been adapted for a Bengali film of the same title in 1951 by director Naresh Mitra.
  • Sharmila Tagore's "Special Appearance" credit appeared in the opening credits in an odd place - between Gulzar's credit for dialogue and lyrics and R.D. Burman's credit for music.
  • Hema Malini found it difficult shooting for this film and "Sholay" (1975) at around the same time because of the stark difference between her characters in the two films. While Ramesh Sippy would have her speak her lines very fast for "Sholay" (1975), Gulzar would have her deliver her dialogues slowly.[3]
  • R.D. Burman recorded a song for this film titled "Mujhko Yun Hi Udaas Rahne Do", written by Gulzar and sung by Kishore Kumar. It was not included in the film and remained unreleased. Burman used the same tune a few years later for the Bengali non-film song "Katodin Aar Ebhaabe Boshe Thaaki" (1978) sung by Amit Kumar. The original song remained unavailable for decades till PanchamMagic, a group of R.D. Burman fans, unearthed the song and released it on the internet in 2022.[4][5]

    Song

  • Do Nainon Mein Aansoo Bhare Hain - R.D. Burman had previously used this composition for the Bengali non-film song "Tomate Amate Dekha Hoye Hoyechhilo" which he had sung himself.[6]
  • Do Nainon Mein Aansoo Bhare Hain - Gulzar wasn't quite happy with the version of this song that was recorded for the film's soundtrack album. He felt that it was too energetic for a lori (lullaby) but since R.D. Burman was already committed to the composition, Gulzar didn't think it was appropriate to disrupt the recording. However, when it came to filming the song, Gulzar asked Burman to record a different version in line with the lori he had in mind. The film version was then recorded to a slower beat and with minimal instrumentation.[7]
