SPECIAL FOCUS ON FAVOURITE GENRE OF OUR CINEMA!

Jaya Bhaduri & Amitabh Bachchan in film 'Ek Nazar's(1972) song "Patta patta."

"Patta patta buta buta..haal hamaraa jaane hai..
Jane na jane gul hi na jaane baagh to sara jane hai.."

This was original great Urdu poet Mir Taqi Mir's sher!
Like Ghalib,..Mir's shayari also inspired to our renowned poets to write lyrics on that!

Fimmaker B.R. Ishara with Jaya Bhaduri & Amitabh Bachchan

during shooting of his 'Ek Nazar' (1972).

So our favourite Majrooh - Sultanpuri wrote a song.. started from this sher for Hindi film 'Ek Nazar'! 
In the music of Laxmikant-Pyarelal it was nicely sung by Mohammed Rafi and Lata - Mangeshkar. And that was filmed on Amitabh Bachchan & Jaya Bhaduri. This is my fifteenth picture!

In 1972, B. R. Ishara wrote-directed this social film 'Ek Nazar' for producers Anil - Khanna & A. C. Diwan. And Rajkumar Bedi wrote lyrical dialogues of it. This film is not directly related to the genre of this series; but the female protagonist of this.. Shabnam's difficult social background was connected to that. And this was an - emotional inter-religion love story between poet Akash and tawayaf Shabnam!

In this (like his father) - Amitabh Bachchan appeared as sensiteve poet. It was before the making of his 'angry young man' image and he was not a star. But Jaya Bhaduri was star-actress that time. People loved their on screen chemistry..which latter turned in to their marriage!

Anyway, this film was one of their unique association on screen!
And that song is..one of my favourite romantic songs!
