Dey had a Mast time

Only Shammi Kapoor could be associated with Jhoomta Mausam (which could be translated to, “a dancing season”). The track was from Ujala (1959).

Hasrat Jaipuri penned the Shankar Jaikishan composition, which was rendered by Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar.

The ebullient actor S(in)hared screen space with Mala.

[Note: The Mast Mahina is none other than October. In fact, the 21st of that month should be observed as Mast Din, because on that day in 1931, Kapoor was born in Mumbai. Not only was his astrological sign represented by the scales, but he was also Lib(e)rated.]
