This song is one such song. The lady (who is she !) finds her helpless and she is seen arriving at a temple as a last resort, where this song is sung.

“Insaaniyat” (1955) was the first (and last) time that Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand were cast together in one movie. Dev Anand was (mis)cast as a dacoit wearing a mustache who gets reformed when a girl (Bina Rai) slaps him. 😉

Wow ! I was not aware of this song. What a rollicking and rocking song this is ! This song must be one of the first such songs sung by Kishore Kumar where he sings in the style that would become his trademark singing style.

I have posted over 100 songs composed by Madan Mohan in this blog. It means that over 10 % of all Madan Mohan songs have been included in this blog. I hope that a time will come when almost all songs of Madan Mohan will be available here. In fact I hope that some day almost all the songs of all the great music directors will be available here.

I had never heard this song. In fact, I was not aware of this movie either. Now that I have heard this song, and watched the picturisation, I wonder where this song was lying hidden all these days. What an absolute gem of a song !

I have no idea when the three letter abbreviation (TLA) called CID came into existence. But this TLA certainly caught the fancy of the public. In the mind of the aam janta, CID means something mysterious, bordering on almost supernatural. As a kid, when I asked my elders what was CID, I was given a highly flattering idea of what a CID was.

Finding no one else with me, I would suspect that elder to be CID. But then I was told that CID are there to investigate crimes. Since I was not a criminal, so I would give that elder a clean chit.
