“Chhaila Babu” was a movie that proved a big flop and in a way this was one of the movie that began Rajesh Khanna’s rapid slide from superstardom.

When it comes to train songs, S D Burman and R D Burman ruled the roost. Right from “Solva Saal” in 1957 till “Zamaane Ko Dikhaana Hai” in 1981, I can count nearly a dozen or so wonderful train songs composed by the two Burmans.

Shankar Jaikishan were the biggest names among Bollywood music directors for nearly two decades from 1950s to 1960s. It was in 1970 that Jaikishan died. Meanwhile “Mera Naam Joker” flopped big time. All these facts meant that Shankar Jaikishan musical duo was disbanded and moreover Raj Kapoor dropped Shankar Jaikishan ( then effectively only Shankar) from his subsequent movies.

Wow! It is a gem that has been forgotten by most people though it should not have been the case. It is an outstanding song in every count.

And they are at their best in this song.

Going by the lyrics, I have classified this song as a love song, but it appears that the love is unilateral in this song despite this being a duet. The hero, Joy Mukherjee is sincere in expressing his love for the lady, but the lady, Sadhana is just playing along, without feeling the same sentiments.

Most of the songs in this blog are from 1970s and earlier. It does not mean that I do not like songs from 1980s and later. It is just that I lost track of Bollywood music from 1980 onwards. Also, trends like blanant plagiarism, lyrics losing their importance, creation of songs in bad taste, demise of many legends from the scene, etc meant that the music of later decades does not appeal to me as much as the music of earlier decades.
It is an incredibly romantic and sensuous song. And all this effect is created thanks to the voices of Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. And the lyrics by Shailendra are incredibly imaginative. Shankar Jaikishan’s music is awesome of course.
