Production
Kishore Kumar launched the project in July 1964, originally titled Do Daku before being renamed Hum Do Daku. The film served as a debut for his sisters-in-law, Zaheeda (screen name Ganga) and Shahida (screen name Leena). This casting was reportedly a strategic move to manage production while his wife, Madhubala, dealt with declining health.[3]
Soundtrack
The musical arrangements were handled by Sebastian D'Souza, which gave the soundtrack a distinct "Goan feel." The soundtrack included "Ae Haseeno Nazneeno", a reimagining of Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher".[3]
