Here is a lovely “maanjhi”(boatman) song with a difference. The song is very much a boat song, in the sense that Asha Parekh, looking young and pretty, is standing on a boat in a river and singer this song. And she is singing about “maanjhi”, but here “maanjhi” does not mean the boatman, but it means the man who will steer her destiny. Yes, she is singing this song about her beloved (Sunil Dutt).

Thaanedaar, viz inchange of the police station (Thaanaa) is a very important person as far as public are concerned. The original term for Thaanedaar, that old generation grew up with, is “Daarogaa”. “Darogaa” was much feared ( and therefore respected) by aam jantaa.
