Amar Prem (1972)
Has to be 10, just for its songs
All songs are classic and almost all of them have found place in the favorite top 10 Hindi film songs of almost all Hinduistani Classical musicians, including sarod player Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Khan, Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia and Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma.
"Kuch to log kahenge" is classic and will always be remembered for its simple and hard-hitting lyrics and being based on classical music but at the same time simplified enough to be very appealing to general public.
Watch for its songs and the aura Rajesh Khanna radiates across to the audience. Simple story line but with a poetic plot.
Alaap (1977)
A musical gem from Hrishikesh Mukherjee
Musical genius Jaidev creates a fine album for the film Alaap (1977). KJ Yesudas, Bhupinder Singh and Kumari Faiyaz have sung very beautiful numbers; especially the song "Aayi ritu sawan ki" is quite haunting.
The story of the film is about a man of principles who goes against his smart and rich father and chooses to be with a living musical legend (played by an established actor Chhaya Devi) who is otherwise not successful and leading an obscure life on purpose. He leaves his comforts and starts living in penury, refusing to accept help from his otherwise rich associations. His father is made to realise the merit of his son, but it is too late. Sanjeev Kumar makes a small but strong cameo in this film.
A must watch for people who love principles in life!
