This song was based on the Bengali song "Rongila Rongila Rongila Re" sung by S.D. Burman and composed and written by Palli Kabi. S.D. Burman had used this tune earlier for the Hindi film song "Rangeela Rangeela Rangeela Re Jawani Mein Sata Ke" ("Shikari", 1946). The tune was also used by his son R.D. Burman for the flute solo in the prelude of the song "Kuch Na Kaho" ("1942 - A Love Story", 1994).[1][2][3][MR2]
