Though the first few lines of this song are the same as Iqbal’s song, other lines of this song are different. This patriotic song is from “Bhai Bahan” (1959). This song is sung by ASha Bhonsle and picturised on a kid. I have no idea about the identity of the kid. I request my knowledgeable readers to help identify the actor.

Hindi movie songs tended to become popular only if the movie did better, and the movies did better only if they followed certain set formulaes. Movies that tended to deviate from the standard formulae tended to fail and as a result, the songs of such movies too would suffer.

“Grihasthhi” (1963) was a family drama in which Ashok Kumar and Nirupa Roy (the standard couple of those days) play the parents of no less than seven daughters ! So naturally, much of the movie revolves around the efforts of the parents to get their daughters married off.
