| This film was made in 1972 in Bangladesh just after the independence war. Besides Biswajit, the once famous romantic actor from the '50s and '60s from West Bengal, Kabari Chowdhury was also in the film. Her famous recitation of Salil's remarkable poem "aami khaaleder maa bolchhi" (This is Khaled's mother speaking) is a rare collector's item. Sadly the songs are not available. Lata's "O daadaabhaai moorty banaao", a wonderful song and typical Salil, was somehow discovered by one of the record collectors in a very bad condition. HMV did eventually release that song in a collection of Lata's bengali songs after cleaning it a bit. The other two songs have never been found. |
