Here is yet another of those songs that I thought I had already discussed in this blog but I was wrong. This is a memorable rail song and I have discussed this song alright, but that was in another forum/blog while I was discussing rail songs.

“Shehzaadaa” (1972) is one of the lesser known movies of Rajesh Khanna, at least as far as I am concerned. It must have flopped badly for me to have missed hearing about this movie during its time, though I could be wrong.
