Everything that was best about the Lata-CR symbiosis. I absolutely adore this song, and Lata is... well... nevermind. The soulful "are ye kyaa kiyaa tuune" also figures on this wonderful CR offering from the early 50s. The tune is highly redolent of the CR-assisted "chalatii huii gaaDii jo ho jaaye phaTT re" from Naadaan (1951).

Nutan-Nasir Khan seem to have been a popular pair in this period. I can think of atleast two other collaborative efforts around this time, all musically rich - SJ's Nageena (of the "tuune haaye re mere zaKm-e-jigar ko chhuu liyaa" fame) and 1953's Aagosh, a TREMENDOUS Roshan vault,featuring what I consider to be Lata's greatest song for Roshan - "muhabbat ek sholaa hai bachaa daaman zamaane".
