With Shammi Kapoor in the screen, you expect him to sing and others to watch. But this song from “Tumse Achcha kaun hai” (1969) is an exception.

Most mainstream movies of 1960s and 1970s were not complete without a cabarat song. And Helen was the first name that came to a movie makers mind while thinking about a cabarat. Similarly, the first name that a music director thought of for singing such songs was Asha Bhonsle.

Ye mera dil yaar ka deewaana

When it comes to Helen songs, this song from “Don” (1978) is perhaps one of the most well known Helen songs. Helen’s dance, Asha Bhonsle’s voice, Indeewar’s lyrics and Kalyanji Anandji’s music are all near perfect.

When one talks of Mumtaz, one recalls Rajesh Khanna as well. And their songs together have been such delights to watch. Her rain songs with Rajesh Khanna have in fact become the stuff of legends.
Mumtaz had another quality, viz she could do a Helen too. Yes, dancing a seductive dance used to be the preserve of Helen and respectable “Bhartiya nari ” heroines were not supposed to dance that way.

“Night in London” was a “me too” movie made to cash on the craze for “An evening in Paris”. This movie, which had music by Laxmikant Pyarelal and lyrics by Anand Bakshi ( as against Shankar Jaikishan as music director and Hasrat Jaipuri as lyricist in “An Evening in Paris”), came up with music of comparable standard.
