I believe there were only 2 songs in this film RAJNIGANDHA AND BOTH WERE EXCELLENT. One of the finest compositions from Salil Da and melodiously song by Mukeshji.
Mukeshji was often accused of having a nasal 'straight line' voice which did not admit of variations in pitch or melody. In my opinion that was his strength. It was up to the director to give him the right type of song. This song is a glorious example of his strength.
For the affluent and affordable class you had 2 choices of cars - Ambassador or Premier Padmini. Colour mostly white!!! All Mumbai Taxis were Premier!! Parking could be managed at Dadar TT circle and Flora Fountain. Remember taking a 385 BEST bus from Dadar TT to Ghatkopar in 20 mins flat. No stops between Sion and Amar Mahal (Chembur) as it was all marshy land with Everard Nagar sprouting! And not too long ago - mid 70s
@pav2007 Yes... I did the same route in the late 80s and it was still the same. Except the smell of RCF and dead fish from the marshes. What a mess we have made with our population. And now, with the "growth", we have found a new way to be proud of it too.

I have not even seen this era in Mumbai, I was born in 1988, even then these movies by Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee create the strongest bouts of nostalgia I have known, perhaps it is because my parents belonged to this era and I was exposed to these movies as a small child, that I feel I have lived it. This movie and Rajnigandha are my favorites.
Undoubtedly a graet composer. His songs had a harmony which was very unique. Western classical music style adapted in Indian style. He also introduced the genre of protest songs in Bengali. Kudos
@raveya98 i agree with you -salil sahab was a great , great composer but his work and reputation suffered as it lacked variety - how and why ? he couldn't look beyond lata mangeshkarand -her singing is great, truly so, but lacks variety.
@shahidaly1 With respect, I have to disagree with you. Characteristic feature of Salil Choudhuri's compositions are their unpredictability; as if there is a new sweet surprise awaiting the listener at the next corner, so there is a great deal of variety in every sense. From his early days to the late there are varieties of types of music he has created. He used LM simply as she could bring out the best of his creations in some whilst used others according to type of music he created.
This song is not a remake of Lata's bengali song - rather it is the other way.
In 1972, Pintu Bhattcharya first recorded this great song in Bengali as part of Puja album from HMV. At the same time or some time later Salil da used same tune for "Rajanigandha" hindi movie and Mukesh was the singer.
After many years gone, in 1988 Lata recorded this song again as her "Puja Album" from HMV - though the lyrics of Pintu's song and Lata's song was slightly different.

कई बार यूं भी देखा है
ये जो मन की सीमा रेखा है,मन तोड़ने लगता है
अनजानी प्यास के पीछे,अनजानी आस के पीछे,मन दौड़ने लगता है
राहों में,राहों में,जीवन की राहों में
जो खिले हैं फूल फूल मुस्कुरा के
कौन सा फूल चुरा के,रखू मन में सजा के
जानू ना,जानू ना,उलज़ंन ये जानू ना
सुलाजाऊ कैसे कुछ समज ना पाऊ
किस को मीत बनाऊ,किस की प्रीत भूलाऊ
