I have posted many songs in this blog where the hero and heroine are going on a drive and the hero (if he is a singing type, viz Dev Anand) bursts into a song. Then we have cases of historical/ mythological movies where the duo are riding on a chariot. If the hero is a non-singing type (like Dara Singh) then the onus of singing falls on the tender shoulders of the heroine (typically Mumtaz).

(This song review is by Greta (Memsaab) who recently reviewed this movie in her blog.)
I had no idea when I first saw and heard this enchanting song a week ago that it is an integral part of Indian childhood. In the wake of my movie review, many people commented that they knew and loved the song but hadn’t known that it was a film song. Not only is the music beautiful (I’m still singing the refrain over and over), but the picturization of it is sublime. I had to rewind and watch the song two or three times before I could move on to the rest of the film.
