Here is a lovely “maanjhi”(boatman) song with a difference. The song is very much a boat song, in the sense that Asha Parekh, looking young and pretty, is standing on a boat in a river and singer this song. And she is singing about “maanjhi”, but here “maanjhi” does not mean the boatman, but it means the man who will steer her destiny. Yes, she is singing this song about her beloved (Sunil Dutt).

“Kaali Topi Laal Roomaal” (1959) was a B grade movie starring Chandrashekhar,Shakila,Kumkum, Agha, K N Singh etc. This movie should have ended up unsung like most B grade movies, but its songs were so wonderful that they caught the imagination of the public. As a result, the movie ended up as a big grosser.

When one listens to the songs of the golden era, one realises that the overall quality of the songs was quite high. Not just the big name music directors, even small time music directors were creating quality stuff. The only difference between big names and small names was marketability, otherwise qualitywise, even music directors confined to B and C grade movies were just as good as the A grade music directors.

The song can be called the title song as well as theme song. The male version of the song is rail song as well.
