This is a Duet by Kishore Kumar, Anup Kumar and chorus from film-HUM DO DAKU-1967.

When one looks at the yearwise list of songs in this blog. One finds that the oldest songs that we have in this blog are from 1933. Though Hindi talkies began to be produced in 1931 itself but the records of songs of these movies were not produced.
