This is the last remaining song from Anjaana (1969). It is a ‘Jeep’ song and happens right at the beginning of the film. I got a chance to see this movie on T V during a weekend.

I could see the song situation in the scene’s leading up to the song, only to see the scene after the song next. My husband alerted me that they are cutting the songs, as the ‘bhai-bahen’ song Hum behnon ke liye mere bhaiyya was cut.

“Haathi Mere Saathi” (1971) was the most memorable movie of its time as far as kids of that era were concerned. The theme song from the movie viz. Chal chal chal mere saathi was easily the most popular song from the movie as far as kids were concerned. The other song from the movie, viz. Duniya mein rehna hai to kaam karo pyaare came next. Other songs from the movie were non kid songs and were “less” popular as far as kids were concerned.
