What a sweet song this is! Hearing it for the first time today. I like the lyrics by Rajinder Krishan – and also the picturisation on Jagdeep and Nanda is very nice.
Am not surprised the music is by Chitragupt. I’ve always liked him – he may not be one of the biggies but he has composed many melodious and pleasant tunes like this one.

Gaddeswarup-ji, the Lata-Geeta duet from ‘Toofan aur Diya’ is “Meri Choti si Behan Dekho…” It’s indeed a delightful ‘Bhai-Behan teasing song’
Raja-ji, you’re right. Chitragupt was so talented. But, like Madan Mohan, never got his due recognition from Hindi moviedom. In ‘Bhabhi’ there’s a cute ‘teasing’ song by Lata, though it’s not a ‘brother-sister’ song. A sweet, innocent Nanda teases Jagdeep with, “Tai (tie) lagake maana ban gaye janab hero, rahe padhhayi ya likhhayi me tho zero zero…” I wonder if it has featured here in this blog…….

Oh Arun~ji, bahut bahut shukriya! Coincidentally, I just finished listening to it on YouTube a few minutes back! By the way, I’m not too sure but I think Jagdeep and Nanda are not ‘bhai-behan’ in this movie.

You are right.Baldev or billoo(Jagdeep) is the Hero Balraj Sahani’s younger brother and Lata(Nanda) is the child widowed sister of Billoo’s Bhabhi-Shanta(Pandharibai).

Aaah yes! Ab yaad aa raha hai! Pandhari Bai had a well etched role that she did very well! All through the movie, she’s an obedient wife to Balraj Sahni. Once, she speaks excellent English to correct Jagdeep’s English! He is shocked! As are we, the audience! She confesses to Jagdeep that as a young girl, she had gone to school and that she speaks good English. But she has kept it a secret from her husband as he’s barely literate and she doesn’t want him to develop a complex! I tell you, Arun-ji, even today if you watch this scene, you’ll find it a very poignant one! No melodrama, no histrionics. Very understated scene actually…….

Wow!! A wife hiding her knowledge of English! Some era, huh?! Reminds me of one of the failed relationships where how to correctly pronounce SCHEDULE led to eventual disaster! 🙂 In India, people pronounce it with D, but it should be with J 🙂

This duet was playing more than regular on AIR, due to listeners demand. It was Lata-Rafi…Sis/bro..songs that had no-romantic tone like their so many other duets. So this duet come as a family version duet, kind of PG ratings, can be listen with the elders/family around. That never happened before. So this duet has seen popularity during it’s hay days.
Since Nanda / Jagdeep are not a bro/sis in this movie, and Nanda is child widow. Means he wasn’t able to express his love to a widow young lady.
So now I understand this duet…it has subtle message…that someone, somewhere is waiting for either of them…so should they go for that (unknown) person or should settle with each-other?
Wow, I have heard this duet hundred times…and one sentence from Arunji and I understood the deep meaning of this duet…
So, now I am watching/listing with different prospective 🙂
Great..

There is a nice lata-Geeta duet of brother and sister teasing each other in ‘toofan aur diya’ (1956). It might have been posted already but I could not find it with a quick search.
