The flute piece in the introduction of this song was based on the tune of the Bengali song "Rongila Rongila Rongila Re" sung by S.D. Burman and composed by Palli Kabi. S.D. Burman himself had used this tune in two songs - "Rangeela Rangeela Rangeela Re Jawani Mein Sata Ke" ("Shikari", 1946) and "Aan Milo Shyam Saanwre" ("Devdas", 1955).[1][2][3][MR2]
