He was a director whose film launched Rajesh Khanna and Kishore Kumar around 1969. I saw the film and was captivated. By the hero and the music. Every song is a work of genius.
Then came Amar Prem and Kati Patang, again with Rajesh Khanna and music by RD Burman. The songs were truly Amar- Chingari koi bhadke, Kuchh to log kahenge in Amar Prem, and Pyar deewana hota hai and Ye shaam mastani, (from whose second line this blog got its name).
Before that, Shammi Kapoor starrers An Evening in Paris, and Kashmir ki Kali were also great for their songs and picturisation, as was Howrah Bridge- Mera naam Chin chin choo was my favourite from that film.
