When I listened to “Purani filmon ke geet” programme on Radio Ceylon in my younger days, this song “tu mera chand main teri chandni” used to get played so very often in that programme.

Here is a lovely 1970 style song from 1996. The movie is ” Raja Hindustani” and listening to this song almost reminds me of the movie “Asha”(1980) and its dhaba song “Jaane ham sadak ke logon se mahlo waale kyun jalte hain”.
