During late 1960s and early 1970s, when I was a young kid, I hated the time period between 7-30 AM to 8 AM, because it was during this time that “Puraani filmon ke geet” programme was played on the air by Radio Ceylon.

This movie is one of the rare movies, where the lyrics were written by the person on whose life the movie was based, and lyrics were written almost one century before the movie was made.
