Music
Music was by Madan Mohan.[3] In an interview, Lata Mangeshkar recalled an experience from her career. Following the recording of a song which featured a classical singer adopting a ramba-samba style to attract her boyfriend, she suggested that the song be sung by someone else, as she didn't enjoy the recording process. After some initial protests from Om Prakash, he ultimately agreed to her request and the song was later sung by Asha Bhosle.[6][7][8]
All lyrics are written by Rajendra Krishan.
