“Phir Subah Aayegi” was a different kind of movie where all the action happens in one night. And despite such a small time span, the movie manages to have time for several songs. This movie, I am told is based on the story “Crime and Punishment” by Russian Novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky.

There was one chalu timepass song in the movie called “Thodi Si Bewafaai” (1980), that was fairly popular at that time.

Here is one song from “Thhodi si bewafaai”. The hopes, aspirations, egos etc of a couple have been described so beautifully that one cannot but help admire Gulzar’s penmanship.
