Two female singers dancing in tandem was a staple diet of B grade historical/ mythological movies of 1960s. But here we find the same thing happening in a Muslim social movie.

These movies tend to have spectacular music in it typically composed by Ravi, Naushad,Roshan, Laxmikant Pyarelal etc. The lyrics of these songs are quite poetic with reference to words like “hizaab”, “Bahaar”, “Shokhi”,”mehboob” etc.
