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.

1950s and 1960s saw many historical movies ( mostly from Mughal period) being made. These movies have become part of Indian psyche. So much so that there are many people who actually think that emperor Akbar spoke in a “fata baans” kind of croaking voice, and that there was actually someone called Anarkali.
