“Dulhan Ek Raat Ki” (1966) is a movie that had Dharmendra and Nutan in lead roles. The movie itself failed at the box office though one song from this movie, viz Ek haseen shaam ko dil mera kho gayaa has gone on to become an immortal song.

I have not seen “Wo Kaun Thhi” (1964) but I know that Manoj Kumar and Sadhana were the lead actors in this movie. Knowing Hindi movies, the lead duo in Hindi movies must fall in love and sing romantic duets. I have posted as many as five songs from this movie and I just realised that none of these songs were romantic duets picturised on the lead pair. There were songs picturised on them, but those songs were solo songs sung by Lata (and lip synced by Sadhana). In other words, Manoj Kumar did not get to lip sync in the songs picturised on Manoj Kumar and Sadhana.
