        Film:   Angulimal (1960)
        Music:  Anil Biswas
        Lyrics: Shailendra
        Singer: Manna De, Lata Mangeshkar,  Meena  Kapoor,  Aarti
Mukherjee, Chorus
        *ing:   Shekhar?

Those who have heard this Bahar based  piece-de-resistance,  from
Anilda can agree with me that how difficult it's to describe some
fine intricate work by the whole team. What is noteworthy here is
Shailendra's  lyrical  supremacy. I am sure this song was written
to fit to the tune. Well, not a new thing right ? But that he was
monarch  of  lyricists  is proved by his end results. Well chosen
words to a good rhyming never ever allows  one  to  believe  they
were written afterwards!

Here in this song all artists  perform  very  well.  But,  Lata's
entry is just grand and she very clearly steals the show. She has
come up with great singing in this number.

Note: I am on vacation till 28th December
