The tune of this song was inspired by the theme of the film "Limelight" (1952), composed by Charlie Chaplin. A few other Hindi film songs were based on the same theme - "Sun Mere Munne Aa" ("Jyoti", 1969), "Tum Meri Zindagi Mein" ("Bombay To Goa", 1972), "Main To Chala Pee Kar" ("Mukti", 1977), and "Yeh Raat Yeh Tanhaiyan" ("Gunaah", 1993).[1][2][3][4][5]
