Magic in Tunes – Tum Se Achchhaa Kaun Hai

For all songs in this series, go here

This song is from the 1965 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film Janwar (= Animal). Shammi Kapoor, the lead actor, wears a tight blanket around him like a dress, and dances in that, not a lot of moving around but just staying at one place and doing. That is why Shammi Kapoor is called The Elvis Prestley of India.

Music is composed by Shankar – Jaikishan to the Lyrics penned by Hasrat Jaipuri. Sung by Mohammad Rafi.
