Aankhon aankhon mein baat hone do
Posted on: August 13, 2010
In early 1970s, Hindi movie songs were becoming daring and we had many songs in those days where the lyrics were far too direct and to the point, instead of beating about the bush.

I thought that I had already posted the title song of “Yakeen” (1969) in this blog. But I was mistaken.

Few people, including me have heard of this movie called “Apna Ghar Apni Kahani” (1968). This movie had come in an era when we had a glut of classy songs, and I do not recall ever listening to songs of this movie.
