This song from “Professor” is shot on outdoor locations, perhaps in Kashmir (Correction- in Darjeeling, as pointed out by Shontou). The song is sung by Rafi and is picturised on Shammi Kapoor. The rolypoly heroine, Kalpana is also there in this song and she appears rather sore at Shammi Kapoor throughout the song. It seems to me that Shammi kapoor’s charms seem to have cut no ice with her in this song.

Kyon jee mujhe pahchaana

This is a comedy song from “Boyfriend”, a Shammi Kapoor starrer.

I recently found a rail song in a Shammi Kapoor movie called ‘Boyfriend”. And now I find that the “professor” song “main chali main chali” is a rail song as well ! And all these days I was thinking that I had already discovered all the rail songs a few months ago. May be I need to watch more Shammi Kapoor songs.
