It stars Raaj Kumar, Kishore Kumar, Meena Kumari, Kumkum in lead roles, with the memorable song "Hum Matwale Naujawan" sung by Kishore Kumar. [1] [2] Here, Meena Kumari matched the boisterous Kishore Kumar. This film is also unique because in addition to Kishore Kumar singing his own songs, two versions of a classical raga based song ("Ajab Hai Daastaan Teri Yeh Zindagi") that were picturized on Kishore Kumar were sung by Mohammad Rafi, on Kishore Kumar's insistence.
