Rajendra Kumar during his heydays was a big star and he was in fact nicknamed “Jubilee” Kumar because his movies tended to be hits.

I have posted several songs from “An Evening in Paris” (1967). Here is a lesser known song from this movie, at least as far as I am concerned. I was not aware of this song till a few hours ago, and I became aware of this song only when I was looking at the list of old farmaishes given by my readers.

It was in 1960s that Indians were first treated to views of countries outside India and the Indian audiences were left gasping at the sight of the world, viz Japan, Europe etc and the progress that they had made vis a vis India left a lasting mpression in Indian minds, not that it led to any progress or introspection among Indians.

In my bid to clear the backlog of my old farmaishes, here is one song whose farmaish was given more than one year back. This song is from “Suhaagan” (1964). This song is a duet sung by Lata and Manna Dey. Madan Mohan is the music director. Madan Mohan teamed up with Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and Rajinder Krishan in most of his movies and on the other hand he rarely worked with the leading names (Shailendra, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Sahir Ludhianvi and Hasrat Jaipuri). But in this movie, he worked with Hasrat Jaipuri. And what superb lyrics Hasrat Jaipuri came up with in this movie !
