Though this song talks of “Chanda”, “raat” etc, which are found in “Chaayaageet” songs, this song from “Chhoo Mantar” sounds more like a dance song.

This song is from “Chacha Zindabad” (1959). One may think it is O P Nayyar’s music, but it turns out to be Madan Mohan’s music. And for a change, this song is quite a light hearted comedy song. Certainly not something with which Madan Mohan is associated now a days.
