This song is a quintessential “villain’s den” party song that we tended to have in Bollywood movies of 1970s. In most of these songs, the hero and heroine would enter villain’s high security party as the lead singers/dancers yet the villains would remain in the dark till the song is over.

“Swarg Narak” (1978) was a movie made by a South Indian production house who also published the popular children’s magazine “Chandamama”. At least I think so because I found the name of B Nagi Reddy in this movie as well in the “Chandanmama” magazine.

This song is a rare song in more ways than one. First of all, this song from “Haay Mera Dil” (1968) is rare in the sense that I was neither aware of this movie nor of this song till recently. And secondly, this song is rare in the sense that this song is picturised on Kishore Kumar but the voice that sings the song is some other singer- Manna Dey in this case.

Kishore Kumar, after making a laugh riot “Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi” (1958) subsequently made serious movies touching upon serious topics. In these movies, Kishore Kumar gave his all. He was not just the producer of these movies, he acted and sang and even composed the music in these movies.
