Hum Kisise Kum Naheen (1977) *Rishi Kapoor, Zeenat Aman & Ajit
The classic track "Khwab Ho Tum Ya Koi Haqeeqat" hails from the 1965 Bollywood film Teen Deviyan. Sung by Kishore Kumar, with music by S.D. Burman and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, it remains an iconic romantic melody featuring Dev Anand in a dreamy sequence with actress Simi Garewal.
The Mastermind Trio: This song is a standout collaboration between Dev Anand, Kishore Kumar, and S.D. Burman , a trio responsible for many of Indian cinema's greatest musical hits.
The song perfectly translates to "Are you a dream or reality?", capturing a deeply romantic and surreal mood.
In Teen Deviyan, Dev Anand plays a poet who is romantically involved with three different women at the same time, making this track a central exploration of his shifting affections.
The film credits Amarjeet as both producer and director. However, Dev Anand later revealed that he actually ghost-directed the film himself. This marked his very first unofficial stint in the director's chair before making his official directorial debut with Prem Pujari (1970).
The legendary Sachin Dev Burman (S.D. Burman) composed the entire soundtrack. Interestingly, his son R.D. Burman acted as his assistant and even composed music for an unreleased English version of the film titled "Oh Boy and Three Girls".
Lyricist: The timeless verses were penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
Writer: The screenplay and dialogue were written by Vrajendra Gaur

Dharmatma was one of initial films inspired by Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. Some more notable inspirations include Zulm ki Hukumat ('92),Aatank hi Aatank ('95)& Sarkar (2005).
Bahut Shukriya, Badi Meherbani” is Ek Musafir Ek Hasina’s signature song. The charm lies in the contrast between Rafi and Asha’s voice. He courts her and she sparkles with naughtiness. Sadhana and Joy Mukherjee fit this 60s breezy music perfectly.
What a charmer by Rafi Saheb and Asha ji!
🎞Down memory lane (1973)
Song that laments about loss & what could have possible is a fitting climax in Abhimaan, a film about singers and there fragile egos.

This is the #SalmanKhan people miss.
No script, no rehearsals, just pure wit and spontaneous humor.
These award show moments are still more entertaining than most comedy films.
Farz 1967, got Jeetendra into big league. A massive hit by Ravikant Nagaich. Five of the 19 movies that Babita did were with Jeetendra. Music LP. This Mukesh Lataji song is penned by but of course AB. Farz has a lot of similarities with the Bond film Dr. No, especially the initial plot element of a fellow agent's death investigation and the climax involving the main villain. Jeetendra—who played Agent 116 (Gopal)—became widely known as the "Jumping Jack" of Bollywood due to his highly energetic, bouncy dance steps in the film. Song courtsey @Upjeet7
The difference between copying and inspiration!
