Has anyone heard of this movie called “Dil Aur Mohabbat” ? I had not. But when I started digging, I found that it was a movie released in 1968 where Joy Mukherjee and Sharmila Tagore had played the main roles.

Raja of Jhumri Tilayya, oops, Holland, keeps wondering why I did not post this song, and whether I did not like this song. Rest assured , Raja, I like all songs of Shammi Kapoor, or for that matter, songs picturised on any other actors, and there is no way I would not have liked this song.

“Mera Naam Joker” was a labour of love for Raj Kapoor and he had made this movie with great hopes and expectations.

There is little doubt that this movie “Phir Wohi Dil Laaya hoon” is known mainly for its music. I have already posted a song from this movie. But this was a musical extravaganza so I cannot help but post more songs from this movie. O P Nayyar, who ruled the roost in 1950s as a music director proved with this movie that he was capable of churning out good music in 1960s too.
