Madan Mohan composed music in as many as 92 movies in his career as a music director. When I look back, I find that I have discussed Madan Mohan songs from as many as 64 movies in this blog. It means that songs from 28 movies are yet to be represented. With this realisation, now I am motivated to discuss Madan Mohan songs from the missing movies.

In fact, Shyam, the hero of this movie, died on the stage of this movie while performing a stunt. He was riding a horse when he fell from the horse and died.

Mumtaz, who has come to meet Premnath, her lover, is getting delayed and she has to leave. And that is what this song is all about.

I was neither aware of this movie called “Ye Dil Kisko Doon” (1963) nor this song from the movie. But the obscurity of this movie is easily explainable when you find out who the lead actor of this movie is. It is Shashi Kapoor- enough said. 😀
