I have mentioned that “Mera Saaya” has several memorable Lata songs. This movie also as a Rafi song and it is just as nicely sung and is just as beautiful to listen to.

“Mera Saaya” is full of memorable songs. It is difficult to tell which song is the best. In my opinion one should avoid ranking songs and enjoy all of them.

“Dekh Kabira Roya” was a movie from 1957. This movie had some lesser known actors in lead roles, viz Anoop Kumar, Ameeta,Anita Guha, Shubha Khote etc. But that is not why this movie is remembered today. This movie is remembered for the absolutely outstanding music which was composed by Madan Mohan.
