Uttam Kumar Vaijayantimalaji film Choti Si Mulakat had super hit songs of Shankar Jaikishan yet the film did not get adequate box office.

In 1967, bengali Superstar Uttam Kumar ventured into bollywood opposite superstar Vaijayantimalaji in the film Choti Si Mulakat. Before Vaijayantimalaji was uncrowned queen of bollywood. All her films from Nagin to Naya Daur, Devdas to Zindagi, Sangam to Suraj became super hits blockbusters. This film was based on the story of Agni Parikkha which was super hit film of Uttam Kumar Suchitra Sen in bengali. But the hindi version did not get box office. All the songs of Rafisahab "tujhe dekha tujhe chaha", "choti si mulakat me pyar ban gayi", Ashaji's "mat ja mat ja" composed by Shankar Jaikishan were bumper hits. Tujhe Dekha Tujhe Chaha still remains one of the best super hit duets of Suman Kalyanpur and Rafisahab over the decade. Vaijayantimalaji was at the peak of her career at that time commanding highest fees. Uttam Kumar was the bengali superstar who was known for brilliant looks and lovely voice. There was exotic locations of Jammu and Kashmir, Shimla and everything was in colour. There was powerful performances of character artists like Pratibha Debi, Tarun Bose, Shashikala, Rajender Nath and others. The film was directed by Alo Sarkar. It was amazing that in bollywood films with weak storyline and poor acting also became hits in the past, while Choti Si Mulakat with two superstars Vaijayantimalaji and Uttam Kumarji ended up without success.
