“Milan” (1967) was full of wonderful songs in it. The popularity of its songs during the heydays of this movie was to be seen to be believed. Personally I was a very young and impressionable kid who loved listening to the songs of this movie at that time.

“Milan” (1967) was a musical blockbuster. I remember its songs being all over the place when I was a very young kid. As a kid, I would have dearly loved to see this movie, but those days many parents rationalised that watching movies was bad for kids. There is nothing new in that.
