What do you call this film? A potboiler? a masala success? a box office raider , a package of violence and romance? Is it possible to classify the all time classic heat in aprticular sub-group or genre? Even the young Ramesh Sippy the then scion of the great Sippy family ever knew, what he was going to gift Indian cinema? Even today all so the spellbound people get glued to the box whenever the now 40 year old magical creation is shown or a snippet beamed !! In fact, probably no film buff or cine expert has been able to exactly classify the film in any of the categories. It is such a film where every contributor, ranging from Big to Jagdeep or the Mausi is so vividly remembered. And the all time path braking success story of a villain added new dimension in Indian film. It is our great luck, that Danny Dengzongpa, for whatever readon, ultimately did not do the film. The young men of that film are now either proud naana naanis or have left for heavenly abode. The next Friday is the 41st anniversary of the all India release day of the film. Long live the memory of the film. And let it be there as inspiration for the upcoming directors and actors and and the technicians, as how the maiden venturs can redefine their trades. And Finally the duo R D Burman and Kishore Kumar. They are busy in the heavens to entertain our Gods and Goddesses with their magic.With folded hands we can just pay pay respect and play with their fond memories.. Ye Dost, Hum Nehi Todenge...
