Chitalkar got away with it

It’s a crying Sh(a)ame that the Central Board of Film Certification (commonly known as the Censor Board) is trying to take a moral high ground now.

Were Albela to release 66 years after it actually did, it would object to Shaam Dhale Khidki Tale (which was three minutes and 42 seconds long), on the grounds that it might influence men to indulge in eve-teasing.

The second line of the song, penned by Rajinder Krishan, went, “Tum ceetee bajaana chhod do” (Stop whistling).

It was composed by C Ramchandra, and sung by him and Lata Mangeshkar.
