UnD(o)u(b)t(t)edly, Geeta sang it beautifully

It is well-known [and obviously S(a)D] that Burman, who composed the music of Pyaasa, and Sahir Ludhianvi, who penned its songs, never worked together after collaborating on the soundtrack of the film (which released in 1957), but their differences didn’t affect it.

Aaj Sajan Mohe Ang Laga Lo was the longer of the two solos rendered by Geeta in the film. It was four minutes and 56 seconds long.

There is no D(o)u(b)t(t) about the fact that Hindi film music aficionados mistake the track for a sensuous song. But it is, in fact, a bhajan
