Here is yet another song about whose existence I was totally ignorant. And what a superb song it is ! It is from the movie “Adhikaar” (1954) from which I have already posted an equally awesome song ( “kamaata hoon bahut kuch” sung by Kishore Kumar and Geeta Dutt).

I have been listening to this song for over three decades and all these days I was under the impression that it must be a song sung in a mela by two females. Yesterday I watched the picturisation of this song for the first time. Wow ! What picturisation !
