Trivia

Album

• This was the first film in which Mohammed Zahoor Khayyam Hashmi was credited as Khayyam. It was the director of this film, Zia Sarhadi, who had suggested this as his screen name. Khayyam had been credited as Sharmaji in all his previous films. He had taken on the moniker Sharmaji based on the advice of his gurus Husnlal and Bhagatram.[1]
• The film's music records jointly credited lyricists Majrooh Sultanpuri and Ali Sardar Jafri. However, according to Majrooh, all the songs in the film were written by him, except for the line "Zindagi gham ke sahraon mein kho gayi" in the second antara of "Shaam-E-Gham Ki Kasam", which was written by Sardar Jafri.[MR1]
• According to music director Khayyam, he had recorded a song for the film titled "Taare Hanse Roun Balma Nahin Aaye Re" in the voice of Sandhya Mukherjee. However, it remained unused and was not issued on records either.[MR1]

Song

• Suhana Hai Yeh Mausam - According to Khayyam, this was Asha Bhosle's first "cabaret" song. In an interview, he expressed regret that while O.P. Nayyar and R.D. Burman were celebrated for getting Asha to sing cabaret songs, he never got the credit for giving her a break in this genre despite being senior to them.[2]
