Listening to Hemant Kumar’s voice is a divine experience. Listening to songs sung by him has a soothing effect on the listeners. I call such songs “mental massage” songs.

One normally associates Hemant Kumar’s voice and music with soft romantic/sentimental songs. But that does not mean that he could not sing /compose other kind of songs.

I have discussed as many as five songs from “Bandi” (1957) in the past. Here is a song from this movie that begins immediately after the opening credits are over. So this song just misses out from becoming a movie opening song.
