This is the title song from the film, made in 1963. The musical director is Madan Mohan, singer Lata Mangeshkar. The film is directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal, and stars Meena Kumari, Rajendra Kumar, Agha, Charlie, Minoo Mumtaz… Of course, Meena Kumari and Rajendra Kumar are the clearly visible ones in this clip. It’s hard to tell who’s playing the little people/dolls, because I can’t see them too well.
This has to be the best dolls-come-to-life kind of scene that I have ever seen.
OMG what a lovely, lovely video! I’ve known (and loved) the song for years but never seen the video. Thanks a ton for putting it up. Have you seen the film?
Hi, Bollyviewer. You’re welcome! It is such a nice video, and a nice song. (I’ll probably be filling in more text for this one and a couple of others in a little while.) I recall there was a thread going on Memsabb’s blog and a couple of others about the best scenes of dolls or puppets come-to-life… I would separate dolls from puppets. But for dolls-come-to-life (which is what this appears to be), this has to be the best that I’ve seen so far.
I haven’t seen the movie; this is a random find. I really would like to see the movie, though.
