This song “Ganga Mein dooba na Jamuna mein dooba” was an extremely popular song of its time, viz 1970s. I was one of those who lived listening to this song and humming it too, all the while remaining totally oblivious to the details of this song. With time, this song ran its course and was forgotten with time.

Today (26 september) is the 89th birth anniversary of Dev Anand (26 september 1923- 3 december 2011). On this occasion, here is a song from “Lootmaar” (1980). In fact this song has two versions. The first version is sung mainly by Kishore Kumar, with voices of Varsha Bhonsle and Shivangi Kolhapure also figuring. This version is lip synced by Dev Anand, Tina Munim and a kid playing Dev Anand’s son. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify this kid.
PS-Now I have read at wikipedia that this kid was Tina Munim’s real brother called Manan.

AAWAAZ (1956) was a Mehboob Production film directed by Zia Sarhadi. I do not know the story of the film but when Mehboob and Zia Sarhadi come together for a film, one can expect that with their leftist ideologies, the film would depict the class conflict between rich and poor. The film had Rajendra Kumar and Nalini Jaywant in the lead roles with Usha Kiran, Zul Vellani, Nazir Hussain, Leela Chitnis, D K Sapru, Jagdeep, Anwar Hussain, etc in the supporting roles. With a story of class conflicts and Nazir Hussain and Leela Chitnis in the film, one can visualise that the film would have a lot of melodramatic contents.
