[Shekar Iyer @SHEKARSUSHEEL]

It is one of the rare memorable tracks where both playback giants Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi share the microphone for the same song.
The audio track actually combines two distinct moods/songs ("Yun Na Sharma" and "Arey Hansne Walon") merged into one continuous situational sequence in the movie.

Lyrics Kaifi Azmi
This is the first movie in which future superstar Amitabh Bachchan played a villain.
Navin Nischal's second movie after his debut with Rekha Sawan Badon. Yogeeta Bali's first movie.
Neither Navin nor Yogeeta could establish a successful star status despite the movie being a hit.
Both floundered in supporting roles or B grade movies.
Amitabh went on to become a megastar.
The film was produced by Lalita Pawar's husband and son.
Directed by Jyoti Swaroop.

Amaanat was a much delayed release in 1977.
By that time Sadhana had already retired from acting, making this one of her last appearances on the silver screen. Her health too had taken its toll on her appearance.
The duo of Manoj and Sadhna had earlier given some memorable movies like Woh kaun thi and Anita .
Music Ravi. Lyrics Sahir.
The only thing that saved the movie were the songs by Rafi.
The movie is also the final movie of Balraj Sahni who passed away in 1973.
Directed by Shatrujit paul.

Guide (1965)
Director: Vijay Anand
*ing: Devanand-Waheeda
Incredibly great music by SD Burman ji and meaningful lyrics by Shailendra ji
——-
#Guide is one of Hindi #cinema’s boldest films. On the surface it looks like a love story, but at its heart it’s about a man searching for meaning, and a woman searching for freedom.

Dev Anand plays Raju, a tourist guide in Udaipur. He’s charming, talkative, and good at selling illusions. Life is easy for him until he meets Rosie, played by Waheeda Rehman. Rosie is trapped in a loveless marriage to an older archaeologist who doesn’t value her. She has a fire inside her, a need to dance, to create, to live on her own terms. Raju sees that fire and falls for her, but more than that, he becomes the person who helps her break free.

When Rosie leaves her husband to become a dancer, society is not ready for it. In the 1960s, Hindi films usually showed women who sacrificed and men who were always right. ‘Guide’did the opposite. It said that wanting more from life is not wrong. It showed female desire without judging it. It showed a man who lies, who cheats, who fails, and yet still wants to be good.

As Raju loses Rosie and everything else, he drifts. He pretends to be a spiritual man to survive. What starts as a trick slowly turns into something real. People start believing in him. Villagers come to him for hope during a drought. And Raju, the sinner, begins to carry the weight of being called a saint. The film asks a difficult question: What is the difference between a real holy man and someone who is just playing the part? Is faith about the person, or about what people need to believe?

Vijay Anand directed the film with great care. He didn’t give easy answers. He let the characters be messy. Raju is not a hero. Rosie is not a perfect victim. Both make mistakes. Both grow. The story moves between love, guilt, art, and spirituality without ever becoming preachy.

More than a romance, Guide feels existential. It’s about illusion and truth, about how we perform roles in life until we start becoming them. It’s about redemption that doesn’t come with applause, but with quiet sacrifice.

At a time when Hindi films showed only “perfect” heroes and sacrificing women, Guide broke the rules. It talked about female desire, ambition, and choice without judging them. As Raju loses everything, he pretends to be a spiritual man to survive. But what starts as a lie slowly turns into responsibility when people start believing in him.

Even today, Guide feels modern. It refused to divide people into only good or bad. It blurred the line between sinner and saint. And in doing that, it gave Hindi cinema one of its most human stories.
