There are many musical blockbuster movies whose songs are under represented and in some cases even unrepresented in this blog. But then the reason is that there are far too many gems lying there than need to be posted. There are literally a goldmine of great songs that are still left to be posted.

Sometime back, I was wondering about the playback singers who have sung for Dev Anand and I counted about half a dozen different names. Well known names like Rafi, Kishore, Manna Dey, Mukesh, Hemant Kumar, as well as unknown name like Dwijen Mukherji have given playback for Dev Anand.

Though this song is from a movie of 1970s, I had not heard this song before. This song is from “Bhala Maanus” (1979) and it had Randhir Kapoor and his would be sister in law Neetu Singh in lead roles. Kapoor Khaandaan men are known for figuring in this kind of casting.
