R.D. Burman adapted the tune of this song's mukhda to compose the "Jalpari Theme" for the background score of "Saagar" (1985). The theme also formed the basis of the song "Aaja Aaja Meri Jaan" ("Aaja Meri Jaan", 1993) sung by S.P. Balasubramaniam, and the Bengali song "Tumi Kato Je Dure" he sang with Asha Bhosle for a Pujo album.[1][2][3]
