Trivia

Album

• This was the last time Shankar - Jaikishan composed for a Raj Kapoor film. Their association had started with the music director duo's debut film "Barsaat" (1949), and it ended with the death of Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal on September 12, 1971. The film was dedicated to Jaikishan. Shankar continued to compose music for films using the Shankar - Jaikishan screen name but never worked with Raj Kapoor again.[1]
• This was actor Randhir Kapoor's directorial debut. It was also his first film in a lead role. He had previously debuted as a child artist in the film "Do Ustad" (1959).[2]
• With Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor playing lead roles in it, this was perhaps the only Hindi film to feature three generations of the Kapoor family in lead roles. The film "Awara" (1951) also featured three generations of the Kapoor family - Raj Kapoor, his father Prithviraj Kapoor and his grandfather Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor. However, Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor only had a cameo role in "Awara" (1951).[3]
• Randhir Kapoor and Babita fell in love during the making of this film and got married shortly after its release. The couple separated in the 1980s after they disagreed over whether their daughters Karisma and Kareen Kapoor should work in films. Randhir Kapoor did not want their daughters to have anything to do with Bollywood, while Babita wanted them to pursue careers in acting. The couple never divorced and although they continued to live separately, they eventually reconciled in 2007.[4][5]

Song

• Hum Jab Honge Saath Saal Ke - The inspiration for the lyrics of this song written by Shaily Shailendra may have been The Beatles' song "When I Am Sixty Four" from their 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".[6]
