I have mentioned earlier that Dev Anand outlived his stay as a leading man in Bollywood movies. as a result, many stories with great ideas flopped just because Dev Saab insisted on playing the hero in those movies. In fact, legend has it that Prakash Mehra had wanted to cast Dev Saab in “Zanjeer”.

When one listens to this song, and finds out that Shankar Jaikishan are the music directors and Hasrat Jaipuri the lyricist, then one can safely assume that this Rafi song is picturised on Shammi.

Here is yet another Piano cum Party song that was almost a must in Bollywood movies of 1960s. The hero typically would sing a song seated on a piano kept near a big staircase. The big hall would be full of the invitees to the party. Except the main characters, others would be under strict orders not to make any movements.
