I have discussed four songs from “Do Aankhen Baarah Haath” (1956) in the past. Here is another song from this movie that I heard for the first time only a few hours ago. This song is an inspirational children’s song. It is sung by Lata and it is picturised on Sandhya. The picturisation shows Sadhya giving a vigorous and energetic dance perfrmance to young kids on this song.

Most people will agree that one Priya Rajwansh is more than enough for one movie. But Chetan Anand obviously did not think so. In “Hindustan Ki Kasam” (1973), she plays double role. In this movie, she plays two sisters separated at childhood (what an original idea ! 🙂 ). One girl ends up in India and grows up with Indian parents, whereas the other girl ends up in Pakistan and grows up with Pakistani parents.

The 1965 movie Do Dil is a standard fare lost-and-found prince heir to the kingdom throne, palace intrigues, and struggles to get control of the kingdom. It was a time in the Hindi movies that on just seeing the name Pran in the credits of a movie, one could predict the main plot of the movie in a jiffy. Almost a similar situation in this movie. The heir to a certain kingdom goes missing as a child, and is presumed dead. Pran, a relative of some sort to the main lineage, is the most eligible person to succeed and ascend the throne. Then out of the blue, Biswajeet appears, and claims to be the long lost child and the actual heir to the throne. The storyline beyond that moves on a very predictable course.
