Here is a song from “Andaaz”(1949) where Dlip Kumar, for a change, is not seen seated on a piano. The fact that this song is sung by Nargis and picturised on Nargis certainly helps.

“Amaanat” was a movie starring Manoj Kumar and Sadhana. I find that the date of release of this movie is shown as 1977. Considering that Sadhana had retired from movies in late 1960s, I think that “Amaanat” was a movie picturised in 1960s and accordingly I thought that it was a movie of 1967 rather than 1977.That is the only explanation for the kind of dresses worn by Sadhana and Manoj Kumar in this movie which are incongruous with the dressing styles of 1970s. This movie has an iconic song that goes “matlab nikal gaya hai to pahchaante .”. I am fully convinced that I have been listening to this song from 1960s itself.

“Mujhko thand lag rahi hai mujhse door tu na jaa” was just the kind of “naughty” song that kids like me loved to listen to when this song first appeared on the airwaves in 1971. I incidentally did not know any details about this song. With time, this song was forgotten. I rediscovered this song again just a few months back. This time I learnt more details about this song.
