This song from “Udan Khatola” should have been an “udan Khatola” song, but I find that it is just a “boat” song. The boatwoman ( who is she ?) is required to carry Dilip Kumar and Nimmi to the other bank of the river and she states that her song should enable the duo reach there safely.

I read many times that Bollywood movies would have songs where the boy and girl would be shown singing songs running around trees. Honestly, I have not seen any proper song fulfilling this description. On the other hand, I have seen dozens of songs where boy and girl are shown singing elsewhere, viz on car, boat, train etc. In fact, there are enough number of such songs for me to open tags like “car” song, “boat” song etc. So far I have not felt the need of having a tag for “tree ” songs, that is how elusive such songs are.
