“Chhoomantar” (1956) was a movie in which Johny Walker was the hero. I have realised that this movie had some nice songs composed by O P Nayyar and I have in fact posted quite a few songs from this movie already.

I have not watched the movie “Tum Haseen Main Jawaan” (1970) but going by the songs of this movie, I think this movie was one whose story was quite over the top.
