This is a song that was quite well known to me, but those days I never knew which movie this song was from. It was only recently that I came to know that this movie was called “Samadhi”.

“Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this walked on the earth in flesh and blood.”
–Einstein

If one is not aware of the details of the song, one may mistake it for an O P Nayyar composition. Punjabi sounding tunes and picturised on girls wearing Punjabi dresses, and sung by Asha Bhonsle- how can it be otherwise ?
But no, this catchy and racy tune was composed by S D Burman, assisted by his son R D Burman.
