Ae Mere Dil Kahin Aur Chal, from Daag (1952), had not one, not two, but three versions. Shailendra
penned the song [whose next line went, “Gham
Ki Duniya Se Dil Bhar Gaya” (My heart has had enough of this world of
sadness)], which was composed by Shankar Jaikishan.
When they wanted
a singer to render the two male versions, they didn’t have to go kahin aur, because Mahmood excelled (Tal)at
singing sentimental songs. Version one of the three was two minutes and 59
seconds long.
(Note: Lata
Mangeshkar sang the third version of the song.)
