Millions of time you praise this gem of song, the more vubrant this looks every time. What a superlative performance by all the known and unknown dancers, the twists, the choreography, the God's voice Rafi and above all, the empyrean music by the one and only one, the Supremo duo of Shanker Jaikishan. Mind it, it's 1965 and no song, honestly no song has reached near it after almost sixty years!

I love this song so damn much. If I ever get married I want it played at the reception 😂
@kevincarlson668
Single by choice,I'd be happy enough to have it played at my funeral.

What a lovely Shake Dance lead by Laxmichaya and Manohar. And the song -
It's Rafi sahab at his best. Equally brilliant is music by Shanker Jaikishan. Almost 60 years now, but still there is no match to claim one up on this Superb song by, One and only Rafi.

The surf guitar deserves extra credit. Brilliant!

RAFI IS GREAT SINGER OF WORLD
@badjaycl
This is a subversive, addictive, and utterly crazy song. Maybe that's why I love it so much!!
