How true it was!

This song was a popular song during its time. When I listened to it, I thought that R D Burman was the music director. It was only much later that I realised that the music director was not R D Burman , but a newcomer called Bappi Lahiri. Yes, Bappi Lahiri was creating great impression in the minds of music lovers. He had created some nice music in “Zakhmee” (1975), his debut music and then in “Chalte Chalte” (1976).
