“Izzat” (1968) is a movie starring Dharmendra. But for me, this movie interests me because this movie also had Jayalalitha, who then was an up and coming actress of Tamil movies.

I have posted a few amazing songs from “Ek Thi Ladki” (1949). This movie had music by Vinod and lyrics by Aziz Kashmiri. As far as the movie was concerned, this movie had Meena Shorey stealing the show all the way in all the songs.
