Hindi Golden Hits...for Our Young FB Viewers! Na Koi Umang Hai -Asha Wins our hearts!! Kati Patang is an 1971 Indian Hindi movie produced and directed by Shakti Samanta. It was a box office success. The Hindi title of the film translates as Cut Kite, a kite whose cord has been cut and is therefore drifting. The film stars Asha Parekh as a woman pretending to be a widow, and her ensuing trials and tribulations. The story, written by Gulshan Nanda, is based on the novel I Married a Dead Man, by Cornell Woolrich and had been previously made into a picture titled No Man of Her Own (1950) starring Barbara Stanwyck. The novel was also later filmed in French as Jai épousé une ombre (I Married a Shadow) (1983), and by Hollywood as Mrs. Winterbourne (1996). The movie also stars Nasir Hussain, Bindu, Prem Chopra and Rajesh Khanna. The film was the second in a string of nine movies in which Samanta and Khanna collaborated. The film was remade in Telugu as Punnami Chandrudu with Sobhan Babu. The music was composed by Rahul Dev Burman, and the lyrics were penned by Anand Bakshi. Kishore Kumar sang four solos for Rajesh Khanna, while Mukesh got to sing a number for the latter - a rare combination. Asha Bhosle performed Mera Naam Hai Shabnam in the talk-sung style of Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady (and thus often incorrectly dubbed the first Hindi rap number). Shakti Samanta has said that he cast Asha Parekh, because he was confident that he could extract a convincing performance from her. He had cast her in his earlier film, the underrated Pagla Kahin Ka. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award, the only win for the film.
