I have posted a few well known songs from “Aan Milo Sajna”(1970). There are some “lesser known ” songs in this movie. By “lesser known”, what I mean is that I was not aware about these songs being part of “Aan Milo Sajna” when everyone else did.

“Lahore” (1949) is a love story that begins at Lahore in pre- independence days.Nargis and Karan Dewan falling in love there. Then independence leads to partition and violence. They are separated in the aftermath of partition. The two finally reunite at Delhi when a Muslim protects Nargis brings her to Delhi.That way, the story of “Lahore” is somewhat similar to the story of “Chhaliya” (1959).

“Aayi Milan Ki Bela” (1964) is a movie that to my mind was carried on the back of its lilting music. I do not think that people would have gone to watch this movie for Rajendra Kumar’s histrionics, if the movie did not have its awesome music.

“Insaaniyat” (1955) was the first (and last) time that Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand were cast together in one movie. Dev Anand was (mis)cast as a dacoit wearing a mustache who gets reformed when a girl (Bina Rai) slaps him. 😉
