Here is one song from “Thhodi si bewafaai”. The hopes, aspirations, egos etc of a couple have been described so beautifully that one cannot but help admire Gulzar’s penmanship. What amazingly great lyrics he could conjure up ! And he had a very good understanding with his music directors. No doubt, Gulzar and Khayyam came up with some soul stirring numbers in this movie.

This song from “Professor” is shot on outdoor locations, perhaps in Kashmir (Correction- in Darjeeling, as pointed out by Shontou). The song is sung by Rafi and is picturised on Shammi Kapoor. The rolypoly heroine, Kalpana is also there in this song and she appears rather sore at Shammi Kapoor throughout the song. It seems to me that Shammi kapoor’s charms seem to have cut no ice with her in this song.

It is a song that I call as a “Tonga” song, and for good reasons. The music of O P Nayyar very much reminds one of a horse hoofing along merrily drawing the tonga along. And the picturisation actually shows a tonga with Kishore Kumar and Chand Usmani as its passengers.
