Some of the most memorable songs.  I must mention 'Neend pari lori gaaye'. It's one of the most haunting 'lullabye' songs ever composed. One must not forget the Bengali version of this song - 'Praantorero gaan amaar' which was made immortal by Utpala Sen in 1953.
This is a triumph for Lata and Mukesh in fact. Mukesh with his melancholic 'Kaise manaao.n' and his wonderfully melodic 'Humko samajh baiThi hai'.
Lata with her beautifully rhythmic 'Jhuk jhuk jhuk' and the tantalising 'Akela tujhe'.
