Presenting the song in response to the farmaish posted by Lalitha ji.

Stree (1961) is another classic creation by the legendary V Shantaram. The film depicts the story of Shakuntala and Dushyanta (from the epic Mahabharat). For V Shantaram, this was a remake of his earlier film Shakuntala (1943). Interestingly, the earlier film was made with Jayashree (mother of Rajshree) in the role of Shakuntala. At that time, Jayashree was married to V Shantaram. The 1961 remake featured Sandhya in the main role, and after divorce with Jayashree, Sandhya was now the wife to V Shantaram, who himself re-enacted the role of Dushyanta in the movie.

What a rhythm, what a pace, what a wonderful play of words – a song that really makes one want to do a tap dance. Wow and wow. 😀
