        Song: Ye Mard Bade Dilsard Bade, Na Dhoka Khanaa
                Meethi Meethi Batiyon Me Bhul Ke Na Aana

        Film:   Miss Mary (1957)
        Music:  Hemant Kumar
        Lyrics: Rajendra Krishna
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Meena Kumari, G Ganeshan

Music of this film became hit. This Lata/Rafi  tandem  song,  was
perhaps  most  popular,  besides 'O Raat Ke Musafir'. Although, I
should note, that credit must go to  Rajendra  Krishan  too.  And
then  how  can  I  forget this Krishna-bhakti song "Brindaavan Ka
Krishna Kanhaiya, Sab Ki Aankhon Ka Taara' ?

Over and above these three songs, I also like delicate Lata  solo
'So  Gaya  Sara  Zamanaa, Neend Kyun Aati Nahin'. Very nice song.
Lata is pristine here.

We also  have  Kishor  Kumar  singing  a  song  --  an  enjoyable
experience in

        Ganaa Na Aaya Bajaana Na Aayaa
        Dilbar Ko Apnaa Banaana Na Aaya

But the best song, in my opinion, came from Asha Bhonsle and Lata
Mangeshkar's team

        Sakhi Ri Sun Bole, Papiha Us Paar
        Bolat Aisi Mithi Boli, Chhede Man Ke Taar ....

Both the sisters have produced a great classical number together.
And it all culminates in moving taans by them, towards the end of
song. Delightful indeed.
