“Manchali” (1971) is a movie that is indelibly etched in my mind mainly because of its title song O manchali kahan chali(Manchali)(1973). This song appeared to me to be playing in Binaca geetlmala all the time, though this song did not figure in the final. This movie also had the wonderful song Gham ka fasaana ban gaya achcha(Manchali)(1973) in it. The naughty song Tan man dhan sab hai tera(Manchali)(1973) is also in this movie.
