The tune of this song's mukhda was inspired by the theme for the Hollywood film "Love Story" (1970), composed by Francis Lai. The theme was later used in the song "Where Do I Begin?" recorded by Andy Williams. This tune has been used in other Hindi film songs - "Hum Jo Mile Toh Sara Zamana Jale" ("Rani Aur Jaani", 1973), "Dil Kyon Dhadakta Hai" ("Jaanam", 1993) and "Chand Chhupa Baadal Mein" ("Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam", 1999).[1][2][3][4]
