I had not heard about this movie called “Mehbooba” (1954). Now I know that this was a movie starring Shammi Kapoor and Nalini Jaiwant. Though it must be said that Shammi Kapoor was more like a struggler than a star at that time.

This song is an important song for Shammi Kapoor fans. This song is from “Sham Parwaana” (1954) where Shammi Kapoor was cast as a hero for the first time in a movie, and that too opposite a big star like Suraiyya.
