This song was S.D. Burman's Hindi film debut. Interestingly, he debuted as a singer. He is said to have sung songs in the film "Seeta" (1934) but they were not issued on record. His first film as music director would come five years later in 1946 for "Shikari".[1][MR6]
It appears that the tune of this song was taken from a Bengali non-film song S.D. Burman had sung earlier - "Premer Samaadhi Tirey" (1940). The original song was composed by Himangshu Dutta.[2]
