This Hemant-Lata hit was memorable

What a way to ring in the New Year! The 1953 film Patita – which starred Bollywood’s Shareef Budmaash, Dev Anand, and Mumbai’s former sheriff, Usha Kiran, and released on January 1 – was Shankar Jaikishan’s gift to their legion of fans.

Yaad Kiya Dil Ne Kahan Ho Tum has stuck in people’s memories for two reasons – (a) it was the only duet in the film, and (b) it was the only song in the film that was penned by Hasrat Jaipuri (his peer Shailendra penned the solos).  

It was sung by Hemant Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar.
