“Umang”(1970) was a movie that was made with the inhouse resources of the alumni of Pune Film Institute. as long as it meant using their students behind the scenes, it was alright, but they insisted on casting these students as the actors of this movie as well. Going by the reception that this movie received at the box office, the experiment of using these raw youngsters as actors prove to be a disaster.

This song was one of the most popular songs with one and all during its day. And as happened with me quite often those days, I was not aware about the details of this song. I could identify the voice of Rafi and Lata but that was all. In fact I did not know those days that a song had a lyricist and a music director too. I thought that the singer did everything himself/ herself. And of course I had no idea which movie it was from.
