This song is a festival song, a “holi” song to be precise. Everyone is seen with some gulaal applied on their faces, and Rajesh Khanna is seated with Asrani. Rekha, with gulaal applied on her cheeks as well, comes with a lota full of bhang and pours Asrani some of it. Rajesh Khanna also proffers his glass forward. Rekha, not interested in pouring him the intoxicant, thrusts the lota on Rajesh Khanna’s hands and departs on a huff, only to be stopped on her tracks when a song begins.

Yesterday was 15th august, the independence day of India, and today, the very next day, is another important festival of India, namely Rakhi or rakshabandhan. As far as Bollywood songs are concerned, there are quite a few Rakhi songs that have made their mark. But this song, perhaps the oldest one, continues to set the benchmark, and this benchmark is yet to be bettered.
So enjoy this fabulous rakhi song sung by Lata. Lyrics are by Shailendra and music is by Shankar Jaikishan. The movie is Chhoti Behan ( 1959). wow, they do not make songs like this now a days.
