“Amar Prem” (1971) is a movie which had the cream of Hindi movie talents at work in it. Rajesh Khanna, the then superstar alongwith Sharmila Tagore figured in this movie. R D Burman, the hottest property among the music directors, composed music for this movie. Kishore Kumar, who had taken male playback singing world by storm, was also there to sing for this movie.
With creme de la creme of Hindi movie industry at the disposal of this movie, the movie had to strike gold at the box office, which it duly did. I have no idea if the movie is still popular, but as far as the music of this movie is comcerned, the music is just timeless. The songs were big rage during 1970s, and their effect has not worn off till now, some four decades later.
As many as five songs from this movie have been discussed in this song. Here is the sixth song.
This song is sung by Kishore Kumar and it is picturised on Rajesh Khanna. This song is written by Anand Bakshi.
The simple and seemingly ordinary lyrics have been rendered by Kishore Kumar so well that this song quickly became an iconic song.
Here is this song from “Amar Prem” (1971) which had stood 9th in Binaca geetmala final of 1972.

I just came to know that the tune of the song was re-used by R D Burman from the Bangla film, ‘Rajkumari’ (1967) for which he was the music director. The song was rendered by Kishore Kumar which was picturised on Uttam Kumar.

Thanks Atul ji,
I have been experiencing problems in giving video links in the comment section. As a result, while repeating the copy-paste of the link, probably, it goes to the next video which gets played after the end of the actual video which I wanted to present.

Sadanand Ji,
Thank you for this insight! It’s fascinating how composers like R. D. Burman, along with many others, often re-used tunes from regional films in Hindi cinema.
The example of the song from Rajkumari (1970) being adapted into a Hindi composition is a great reminder of this cross-cultural musical exchange, enriching Hindi film music with regional flavours and appealing to a wider audience.
Similarly, S. D. Burman also drew inspiration from regional hits, adapting tunes from Bengali, Gujarati, Telugu, and other regional films into Hindi songs. A notable example is the Telugu hit Eruvaka Sagaro from Rojulu Marayi (1955), which was transformed into “Dekhne Mein Bhola Hai” in Bombai Ka Babu (1960).
These influences have undeniably enhanced the diversity and richness of Hindi film music. Thanks once again.
