Trivia

Album

• This film was an adaptation of a Bengali novel of the same title written by Subodh Ghosh.
• The title music of this film was inspired by Rabindranath Tagore's "Ore Jhar Neme Aay" and "Kothao Amar Hariye Jaoar Nei Mana". S.D. Burman's son R.D. Burman also used a similar tune for the title song of the Bengali film "Rajkumari" (1970) and the song "Bandha Dwarer Andhakare" in it. He later reused the tune in the Hindi film song "Aap Ke Kamre Mein Koi Rahta Hai" ("Yaadon Ki Baaraat", 1973).[1][2][3][4]

Song

• Tum Jiyo Hazaron Saal - While the film version of this song was sung by Asha Bhosle, the version issued on the original 78 rpm records was sung by Geeta Dutt. In later music releases, however, Geeta Dutt's version was replaced by the film version sung by Asha Bhosle.
• Tum Jiyo Hazaron Saal - The lyrics of this song's mukhda were inspired by the lines Mirza Ghalib had written in honour of Bahadur Shah Zafar - "Tum salamat raho hazaar baras / Har baras ke hon din pachaas hazaar".
• Sun Mere Bandhu Re Sun Mere Mitwa - This was S.D. Burman's first Hindi film song as a singer in more than a decade. Prior to this, he had sung a couple of songs for the Hindi film "Eight Days" (1946).[5]
• Sun Mere Bandhu Re Sun Mere Mitwa - Lines from this song were used in the background scores of two Hindi films released in 1973 - "Abhimaan" (1973), with music by S.D. Burman, and in the otherwise songless "Achanak" (1973) which had Vasant Desai's score.[6][7]
• Sun Mere Bandhu Re Sun Mere Mitwa - S.D. Burman's son R.D. Burman adapted the mukhda of this song for a line in the song "Tu Maike Mat Jaiyo" ("Pukar", 1983).[8]
• Jalte Hain Jiske Liye - S.D. Burman had wanted Mohammed Rafi to sing this song but director Bimal Roy insisted on Talat Mahmood singing it.[MR3]
• Jalte Hain Jiske Liye - The tune of this song was inspired by Rabindranath Tagore's "Ekoda Tumi Priye".[9]
