Ye raat ye chaandni phir kahan...



"Jaal" was produced by Guru Dutt. The story is based in Goa (then under Portuguese control). A story of love and forgiveness based on the Principles of Christianity...unusual theme for a Guru Dutt film, with Geeta Bali(Maria) and Dev Anand(Tony) in the leading roles.

Guru Dutt and Dev Anand were very good friends and had made an agreement to use each other (as director and actor) for their films.

This duet, originally sung by Hemant Kumar (June, 16 1920-September 26, 1989) & Lata Mangeshkar, has been on my favorite list forever.
I thank Asim for his prompt response to my request to sing this duet.

Movie: Jaal (1952)
Music director: S.D. Burman
Lyricist: Sahir Ludhianvi
