R.D. Burman, who assisted his father S.D. Burman for the film's music, played the prominent harmonica solos in this song.
This song inspired the title of a 2016 film directed by Monjoy Joy Mukerji, the son of actor Joy Mukerji.[1]
An exchange between Waheeda Rehman and Dev Anand's characters in the film made a reference to the singer of this song. In this exchange, Rehman's character suggested that the name of Dev Anand's character should have been Hemant Kumar instead of Prannath since he sang so well.
