Lata - Gairon Pe Karam - Aankhen [1968]

Aankhen or Ankhen (English: The Eyes) is a 1968 film produced and directed by Ramanand Sagar. After the surprise big hit of Farz as a spy thriller, Mr Sagar came out with a bigger budget film in the same genre, filmed in many international locations. The film stars Mala Sinha, Dharmendra, Mehmood, Lalita Pawar, Jeevan and Madan Puri. The music is by Ravi and the lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi.

The film is considered to be a pioneer in Hindi spy films. Even today when viewers watch the film, they admire it for the sheer technical brilliance and exotic locales shown. The film was initially planned to be shot when Dharmendra was just one-film old. But the director Ramanand Sagar had apprehensions of casting him since he was considered raw and was not yet a star,therefore he roped in a huge star of the peroid Mala Sinha opposite him for market considerations, however with the success of Phool Aur Paththar, Ramanand Sagar decided to increase his budget and cast Dharmendra as the leading man of the film. The film went on to become a huge hit and Dharmendra was in the top league. His other movie of the year Shikar went on to be a golden jubilee hit and he became an actor of reckoning.

The Filmfare Awards for playback singing first started in 1958. In 1956, the song 'Rasik Balma' from the film Chori Chori won the Best Song Filmfare Award. Lata refused to sing it live in protest of absence of a Playback Singer category. The category was finally introduced in 1958. Though, separate awards for male & female singers were introduced later on.

Lata Mangeshkar monopolized the best female playback singer award from 1958 to 1966. In 1969, Lata made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare awards in order to promote fresh talent...........

Aye Jaan-e-Vafaa Ye Zulm Na Kar.. Ye Zulm Na Kar

Gairo'n Ke Thirakte Shaano'n Par.. Ye Haath Gawaara Kaise Kare'n

Har Baat Gawaara Hai Lekin.. Ye Baat Gawaara Kaise Kare'n

Ye Baat Gawaara Kaise Kare'n

Mar Jaayenge Hum.. Mit Jaayenge Hum

Aye Jaan-e-Vafaa Ye Zulm Na Kar.. Ye Zulm Na Kar

Gairo'n Pe Karam - Apno'n Pe Sitam.. Aye Jaan-e-Vafaa Ye Zulm Na Kar..

[MrYogi1965]

Hum Bhi The Tere Manzoor-e-Nazar.. Dil Chaaha To Ab Iqraar Na Kar

Sau Teer Chalaa Seene Pe Magar.. Be-gaano'n Se Mil Kar Vaar Na Kar

Be-gaano'n Se Mil Kar Vaar Na Kar

Be-Maut Kahi'n.. Mar Jaaye'n Na Hum

Aye Jaan-e-Vafaa Ye Zulm Na Kar.. Ye Zulm Na Kar

Gairo'n Pe Karam - Apno'n Pe Sitam.. Aye Jaan-e-Vafaa Ye Zulm Na Kar..

[MrYogi1965]

Hum Chaahne Wale Hain Tere.. Yu'm Hum Ko Jalaana Theek Nahi'n

Mahfil Mein Tamaasha Ban Jaaye'n.. Is Darja Sataana Theek Nahi'n

Is Darja Sataana Theek Nahi'n

Mar Jaayenge Hum.. Mit Jaayenge Hum

Aye Jaan-e-Vafaa Ye Zulm Na Kar.. Ye Zulm Na Kar

Gairo'n Pe Karam - Apno'n Pe Sitam.. Aye Jaan-e-Vafaa Ye Zulm Na Kar..
