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.

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.
