“Nayaa Kaanoon” (1965) was a movie starring an over the hill Bharat Bhushan with Vyjyanti Mala. This movie was a box office disasater.
As a result, the songs of this movie suffered. So much so that few people are aware of these songs. It is a pity because these songs are so nice to listen to, and they would have done well had the movie done better.

O P Nayyar was at the peak of his musical and professional prowess in 1950s. By 1960s, he was on the decline. But even then, he continued to create some sublime music till late into 1960s. I in fact feel that his compositions are arguably of better quality, even if they did not become as popular as his compositions of 1950s.

Lata was Madan Mohan’s female singer of choice, but it does not mean that he has not used other female singers in his songs. Curiously enough, Madan Mohan did not use the voice of Lata in the movie called “Bombay Race Course” (1965). The female singers in this movie were Asha Bhonsle and Suman Kalyanpur.

Here is a Helen song with a difference.In this song, Helen is not performing a cabarat or even a mujra. Rather she is emoting like a “normal” actress. Yes, Helen had a big enough role in this movie called “Kahin Din Kahin Raat” (1968).
