Bollywood movie makers often tend to have same titles as that of old movies. For instance, I am aware of three movies titled “Adhikar”.

“Ek Musafir Ek Haseena” was a movie featuring Joy Mukherjee and Sadhana. The music was by O P Nayyar and lyrics were written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan ( known more for writing lyrics for Madan Mohan). Rafi, as is his wont creates magic with his divine voice in this song.

“Woh kaun thi” (1964) must rank as one of the best suspense movies made in Bollywood, and this song is arguably one of the best suspense songs in this movie as well as in the history of Bollywood movie music.

Raja Mehdi Ali Khan has written this song that captures the atmosphere so admirably well. Madan Mohan has created a masterpiece that was appreciated by masses and classes alike.
