There were songs picturised on them, but those songs were solo songs sung by Lata (and lip synced by Sadhana).

I have discussed many patriotic songs from Hindi movies in this blog. But one of the most popular of all Hindi patriotic songs in a non movie song. This song , “ae mere watan ke logon” was created by C Ramchandra to boost the morale of the Indian Army who were then fighting external aggression against heavy odds.

I have discussed as many as five songs from “Bandi” (1957) in the past. Here is a song from this movie that begins immediately after the opening credits are over. So this song just misses out from becoming a movie opening song.
