Kishore had a field Dey

To say that the Ganguly gang (better known as the Kumar brothers) had a flair for comedy would be an understatement.

And that was amply evidenced by the zany Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, the second-highest grosser of 1958. 

The title of the film could be translated to that which moves is a car, but lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri’s collaboration with composer S D Burman ensured that that which succeeded was its soundtrack.

Babu Samjho Ishaare, which was four minutes and 54 seconds long, was rendered by Kishore and Manna. Needless to say, Dey had a ball.
