Scandals in public life, especially crimes of passion, have always attracted the attention of Hindi movie makers and a few of them have actually gone on and made movies based on such scandals. Even at present, we find a movie maker making a movie on a woman who murdered her ex boyfriend with the help of her current flame.

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 !

This is the typical Shammi Kapoor fun and exuberance solo. In many of his successful movies, one will find a solo song, sung by Rafi, almost within the first 10 or 15 minutes of the movie, “Jawaanian Ye Mast Mast Bin Piye” from Tumsa Nahin Dekha, “Kisi Na Kisi Se Kabhi Na Kabhi” from Kashmir Ki Kali, “Dil Deke Dekho, Dil Deke Dekho” from Dil Deke Dekho, “Laal Chhadi Maidaan Khadi” from Jaanwar, “Aji Aisa Mauka Phir Kahaan Milega” from An Evening In Paris, and so on. It used to be like making a dynamic musical entry. 🙂 Such songs used to be the staple diet of pre teen boys like me. I would listen to a Shammi Kapoor song like this only once, and it would be committed to memory. And I used to be very much in demand at the family gatherings and birthday parties, to perform these songs. (Wow, I used to do that? What fun!!)
