“Milan” (1967) was full of wonderful songs in it. The popularity of its songs during the heydays of this movie was to be seen to be believed.

I have posted several songs from “An Evening in Paris” (1967). Here is a lesser known song from this movie, at least as far as I am concerned.

It was in 1960s that Indians were first treated to views of countries outside India and the Indian audiences were left gasping at the sight of the world, viz Japan, Europe etc and the progress that they had made vis a vis India left a lasting mpression in Indian minds, not that it led to any progress or introspection among Indians. They were just happy to enjoy these foreign locales on the movie screens.

Bollywood Mujra songs tend to be sung at a slow pace accompanied by slowly moving Mujra dancing. But here is a Mujra song on steroids. The song is quite a fast paced song, and the dance is at a break-neck speed too.
