Though this song talks of “Chanda”, “raat” etc, which are found in “Chaayaageet” songs, this song from “Chhoo Mantar” sounds more like a dance song.

“Mohar” (1959) was a movie starring Shammi Kapoor and Geeta Bali, but not much is known about this movie today. This movie has flopped badly at the box office. And as luck would have it, Madan Mohan was the music director of this movie.
