A touching song from a reel that talks about real! Tracked in an extraordinary romantic comedy film 
that celebrates the ordinary middle class lifestyle gifting viewers endless smiles at intervals. For a typical middle class someone like me right in the middle of my life journey, this straight laced wafer thin storyline spun around every day  little situations is simply nostalgic, thanks to Basu Chaterjee’s macroscopic attention to microscopic details. Transports me back to my college days – boy meets girl, then another one meets her. Now she is caught in this Tricky Triangle. Thank God I triumphed out of that phase in my life by not falling into this thorny triangular trap!!

Picturised on Amol Palekar and Vidya Sinha, this song is filmed in a cinema hall. While watching Dharmendra and Hema Malini’s graceful  romantic theatrics on big screen, Amol  (as a tongue tied shy boy Arun) stares at the screen, wide eyed, big smiled, mouth agape at intervals, shifting seating postures every now and then for concentrated viewing much to the disturbance of viewers around him. Soon he slips into a dream of his own.

Thanks to Amol’s fantasy, for a few itsy bitsy moments, we get to watch Amol and Vidya (Vidya here as Prabha, his love) too playing around in this heartwarming song with ecstasy.  With the song coming to an end, we and Amol are in for a jolt! For, Amol along with himself brings us back to reality, letting us viewers move on with the movie!!

Movie Masala:

This song where Yesudas was at his breezy best was his debut song in Bollywood

Choti si Baat was Salil Chowdhary’s last film as music director

The influence of everyday situations in middle class lifestyle that led to a confluence of love and those sweet little memorable moments resulted in Basu Chaterjee’s “Choti Si Baat” i.e. “Small Matter” a big hit for middle class viewers.
