“Naagin” (1954) has so many songs that it is easy to lose track of them. And there are songs which seem like extensions of earlier songs. For instance, the song “teri yaad mein jalkar dekh liyaa” is immediately followed by “Oonchi oonchi duniyaa ki ” song.

I have mentioned in the past that the Bollywood movies of the past used to have their get togethers not in hotels, but in their palatial houses that every hero/ heroine used to possess. Their palatial house used to have a big hall for the purpose of these get together. And in these occasions, the hero/ heroine was required to sing a song. A grand piano was kept in the hall near the big staircase (that led to the upper floor)for the purpose of this song. The hero/ heroine, after initial nakhra, would get seated on the piano and then sing a song accompanied by music.The music incidentally would bear little resemblence to the music that normally comes out of a grand piano.
