36 years ago on this day a film was released
called Hum Tere Aashique Hain losely
based on the story of My Fair Lady.
Produced and directed by Prem Sagar and written by KKShukla and Ramanand Sagar.
Hema Malini played the role of Ramkali/ Elisa Dolittle while Jeetendra played
Dr Anand/ Professor Higgins.
I remember being sent
to the mahurat of this film as an intern by my editor and stood in a quiet
corner at Mehboob Studio watching Hema Malini dressed in a gown and hat give
coy glances to hero Jeetendra.
Those were days of
elaborate mahurats after which the shooting began immediately.
Unfortunately
the film did not click at the box-office but Sagars continued to make films
with Hema Malini and Jeetendra hema continued to make a successful pair.
