It is my observation that the careers of many actors in Hindi movies were made and sustained thanks to the great music that their movies had. It is difficult to imagine these movies becoming hits without their hit music. And as we all know, Hindi moviegoers are initially attracted towards movie halls because of the music and these songs are often one of the biggest selling points of these movies. Movies without songs have a hard time finding distributors.

The world of Hindi Classical Music has produced so many maestros both in vocal and in instrumental category. We have different maestros of different gharanas in the field of vocal music and same is the case in different instrument categories too. In the field of string instuments, we have sitar, veena, sarangi, sarod, and a few more. When we take the name or even think of sitar, the first name that comes to our mind is Pandit Ravi Shankar, whose real name is Robindro Shaunkor Chowdhury.

I have not seen the film YE DIL KISKO DOON (1963) but I have watched all the available video clips of the songs umpteen times . I enjoyed these songs some of which are audio-visual treats. The film was produced under the banner of Bindu Kala Mandir and directed by Kanak Mishra who was also the story and screen play writer. Star cast included Shashi Kapoor, Ragini, Agha,Jayshree Gadkar, Jeevan, Sajjan, Asit Sen etc. All songs of the film were written by Qamar Jalalabadi and set to music by Iqbal Qureshi. The film’s name may have been inspired by a Helen song ‘itni badi mehefil aur ek dil kisko doon’ from the film ‘Dil Apna Aur Preet Paraayi” (1960), but could not inspire thea udience to come to the theatres and watch the film. The film failed at the box office and with this, Shashi Kapoor’s struggling days to establish him as a lead actor were prolonged. It was about 2 years later that he could established himself as a lead actor with the box office success of the film ‘Jab Jab Phool Khile’ (1965). For Iqbal Qureshi, the film’s music director, once again the luck was not in his favour. His efforts in churning out great songs were wasted in a film that has now been almost forgotten.
