“Gehra Daagh” was a movie of 1963. I was not aware about this movie till recently ( that is till yesterday).
This movie had Rajendra Kumar and Mala Sinha in lead roles.
Just because I was not aware of this movie does not mean this movie has unknown songs. Take this song from this movie. This song “tumhe paake hamne jahaan paa liyaa hai” is a duet sung by Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. I am sure that I have listened to this song many a times in the past, though I was not paying much attention on those occasions.

TV serial makers these days tend to take the title of some old movie and use it as the title of their serials. “Saas bhi kabhi bahu thi”, for instance, was a movie of the same name in 1970. Similarly, “Hare kaanch ki choodiyaan” was a movie of 1967.

Kaahe ko bulaaya mujhe baalmaa

I think I need to open a category of songs which I enjoyed listening to, even though I had no clue which movie they were from. Then I forgot all about these songs ( because the song alongwith its movie were forgotten) and then I stumbled upon the same song recently once more.
