'Kal Aaj Aur Kal ' completes 50 Years

 

Released on 1st July 1971 wast the first film of Randhir Kapoor as Actor & Director. This was the last film of Shanker-Jaikishan for R.K.Films.Jaikishan had already completed the recording music for this film before he died.

Babita was the heroine of the film who later married Randhir Kapoor. The highlight of the film was the presence of Raj Kapoor, Prithviraj Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor, the three generation of Kapoors in a film. This film came after the colossal disaster of “Mera Naam Joker”.

 The movie was based on how three generations live under one roof but with different opinions. The movie is a time-pass. The grandfather and grandson always had difference in thoughts while the father always tries to makeup between them. In the end, the grandfather dies giving the message that it is KAL AAJ AUR KAL.

Randhir Kapoor does not show much of promise as a director He was no way near to Raj Kapoor’s classic touch. He directed a few films after this but none of the film clicked at the box office.

The music of the film was given by Shankar Jaikishan but Nothing compared to “Barsaat”, “Awara” and “Shree 420”. There are some hummable tunes like “Aap Yahan Aye” and “Tik Tik Tik Tik” though. Kishore Kumar became the voice of Randhir Kapoor.
