This song is a quintessential “villain’s den” party song that we tended to have in Bollywood movies of 1970s. In most of these songs, the hero and heroine would enter villain’s high security party as the lead singers/dancers yet the villains would remain in the dark till the song is over.

“Swarg Narak” (1978) was a movie made by a South Indian production house who also published the popular children’s magazine “Chandamama”.

And the plot of movies that this production house made were similar to the stories published in the magazine.
