“Teen Deviyaan” (1965) was for some reason a blindspot for me, and I was not much clued in to its songs. Now I am finding out that quite a few songs, which I enjoyed listening to without knowing about their details were actually from this movie.

“Aa gale lag jaa” (1973) was a run of the mill movie, but it caught public imagination because of this particular song. This song had two versions. The grown up version was sung by Kishore Kumar and it was picturised on Shashi Kapoor and Sharmila Tagore as a “nature song” -as it was picturised on hills. The other version of the song was a party song and it had a kid singing in addition to Kishore Kumar. Kishore Kumar once again sings for Shashi Kapoor whereas the kid Sushma Shreshtha sang for Master Tito.

Listen to this song and one may think that this is an O P Nayyar composition. I thought so too. But when I found out the details of this song, I found that this song was composed by Madan Mohan.
