While listening to this song, I could not but help feel that I had already discussed this song in the past. I checked and re checked, but I found that no, this song has not been discussed earlier. Yes, I had discussed another song with almost similar first line, and written by the same lyricist and composed in the same year !

“Nayaa Kaanoon” (1965) was a movie starring an over the hill Bharat Bhushan with Vyjyanti Mala. This movie was a box office disasater.
As a result, the songs of this movie suffered. So much so that few people are aware of these songs. It is a pity because these songs are so nice to listen to, and they would have done well had the movie done better.

I have mentioned this fact about Hindi movie songs that most of them are about human feelings viz love, sadness, happiness and not about commerce/business. In fact there are very few songs that are about selling some products. I have discussed a few songs where chanajor or similar stuff is being sold. In one such write up, readers came up with the list of a few other songs where some item was being sold.

Ke aajaa teri yaad aayi

When a normal human being misses his/her beloved, you expect them to bear it privately. But a Hindi movie hero/heroine missing his/her beloved decides to make a public spectacle of themselves. They quickly burst into a missing you song whose lyrics could be something like “Main yahaan hoon tu hai kahaan” or “Ab to aa jaa” etc. They go all over the town singing the song. One can expect them to be doing that in India, but imagine doing them in the streets of Venice, Italy and the local population not even batting their eyelids !

“Do Dil” (1965) is a movie starring Vishwajeet and Rajshree. Just as Shammi Kapoor movies had wonderful music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, Vishwajeet movies tended to have great music by Hemant Kumar. Of course the singing voices remained the same.

I have heard this song quite a few times, but all these days I never knew which movie this song was from.
Now, thanks to the lyrics of this song that were sent to me by nahm, now I am aware that this song is from “Chori Chori” (1956).

I have listened to the audio of this song many a times, and this song never fails to cheer me up. This is indeed a “feel good” song.
This song is from the movie “Jeene Ki Raah”(1969) and seeing that the title figues in the lyrics, the son can be called the title song as well as the theme song of this movie as well. This song is a get together song on the occasion of silver jubilee of a mill, where Jeetendra sings this song in the gathering. Yes this song wears so many hats !
