Radio’s biggest show — Purani Jeans on Radio Mirchi — brought back the magic of Bollywood’s biggest star, Dev Anand. Radio Mirchi premiered one of the all time classics Jewel Thief at Regal Cinema on Wednesday. This film was ahead of its times. Its modern aesthetic sense has the power to hold the attention of today’s college student. S D Burman’s music including songs like Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechara, Aasman Ke Neeche, Dil Pukaare, Honthon Mein Aisi Baat, Raat Akeli Hai and Rula Ke Gaya Sapna Mera are as gripping even today. RJ Anmol, who hosts Purani Jeans, Mumbai’s number one radio show, said, “Mirchi has taken the initiative to revive the magic of the 1960s and 70s through many such events. The idea of bringing Jewel Thief back on the big screen was given to him by a young listener who is a huge Dev Anand fan."
