Tum kamsin ho/ Main kamsin hun...


"Aayee milan ki bela"
A 1964 film, produced by J. Om Prakash (Hrithik Roshan's maternal grandfather) had Rajendra Kumar and Saira Banu in the lead roles and it has been the only film starring Dharmendra in the villain role. Both men vying for her hand.
Here are two versions of a very popular song. I thank Azam for "Tum kamsin ho"... I have attempted the lesser known version, "Main kamsin hun".

Music directors: Shanker Jaikishen
Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri
Original singers: Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar
