Manoranjan (1974) watch online HD

An upright beat cop, working the most notorious area of the city - the 'red light district' - desperately tries to hang on to his values in such an amoral environment. He falls for a hooker, and sets out to reform her.

Manoranjan is perhaps the only Hindi movie where prostitution was presented as a 'fun' .

Shammi Kapoor's directional debut.

First time Shammi Kapoor worked with Zeenat Aman.

Shammi Kapoor also directed a video magazine called "Shammi Kapoor Presents Manoranjan" to promote the film.

Shammi Kapoor wanted to play the role of Sanjeev Kumar .He had seen the film's English version in 60s .But when he directed the film he felt he was to old and caste Sanjeev Kumar.

Shammi Kapoor and Sanjeev Kumar worked together for second time after Sachai.

Asha Bhonsale received Filmfare nomination for the song Chori Chori Sola Singar only nomination for the film.

The song in question is "Aaya hoon main tujhko le jaaoonga" from Manoranjan. Here the mukhdaa would normally be "aaya hoon main...". Still the lines "Ja re ja re tere jaise beimaan.." as well as "Hame is tarah na thukra zaalim...." are sung in the same tune as the mukhdaa but appear as the antara. So the song has either 2 lyrically different mukhdaa's sung in the same tune, or two different antara's sung in two different tunes. The second antara(or the real antara, depending on how you classify) is the one RDB has borrowed. The original artiste is Sergio Mendes and the original song is "After Sunrise". The song is 3:25 seconds long and consists of no words. All it has is multiple voiceschanting "la la la, la la la ...." over and over in the same tune later on done by Asha towards the end of the song just before the saxophone kicks in. The tune corresponds exactly to the words sung by Kishore/Asha in the lines "Aise na rooth baaton baaton main..vaade na tod aisi raaton main". All hehas taken is about 10 seconds of the original(yes I timed it), which appear about 3 times in the entire song, but it completely changes the whole song, so powerful is the tune. I cannot say RDB has been inspired by or has copied this song to create something new, since the entire prelude/interlude music, and the opening notes, words etc are all originally his, but at the same time he cannot be given a free pass since he has incorporated a piece of another tune in the middle of his song, that does change the whole dimension/mood of the song.
