None of the top actresses he approached agreed to act in his film once it was known he was the hero, and in later interviews, he would express his gratitude towards Geeta Bali for agreeing at once, even though she knew she was not the first choice. He had directed a string of low-budget movies before this, but this was his first production. Inspired and encouraged by Raj Kapoor, Bhagwan decided to write, produce, direct and act in his own film.

Lata Mangeshkar was the sole female voice Mohammed Rafi stepped in for two duets while C Ramchandra's alter ego Chitalkar sang the rest.

As stage entertainers (in the film), it is strange that there are only two stage numbers (out of 12 songs) - this one, and Bholi surat dil ke khote. It is such an infectious number, and Geeta Bali brings a joyousness to her movements that find its complement in Bhagwan's signature step. Lyrics: Rajinder Krishen Singers: Chitalkar, Especially when Kishore tells her Sach poochho to mere dil mein pyaar illai-illai (To tell you the truth, there is no love in my heart) and she replies: O Bengali, meraa ho jaa kahti hai Miss Pillai (Please be mine, o Bengali, begs Miss Pillai.) I'm pretty sure she would identify strongly as a Madrasi chokri.) It may not be politically correct, but it was pretty funny all the same, and OP Nayyar's composition hit all the right notes, while Qamar Jalalabadi had a blast with the lyrics. The song had its stereotypes well in place - with both Kishore and Padmini dressed in the overtly traditional costumes (it was also funny because Kishore was Bengali chokra while Padmini was a Madrasi chokri (even though she was a Keralite by birth, she and her sisters were brought up in erstwhile Madras. Padmini is the revelation here, matching Kishore's comic timing with elan, even as she dances up a classical storm. He got to clown around, being chased by the woman (for a change, the heroine takes the initiative) importuning him to return her love, all the while singing a lovely song that is humorous as well as romantic. This is represented with a small 'm' to distinguish it from 'Ma tivra' which is usually written with a capital M.Asha Bhosle This was a song that was tailor made for Kishore Kumar. Notice also that the song uses 'Shuddha ma - pure ma' (produced by opening half of the Ga hole).

Remember also that the film version has had a lot of studio work done on it with professional equipment and that is why it sounds so smooth - also if you are a beginner, remember that Naveen has been playing for many years and is one of the top flutists so if your version is not sounding as beautiful - just remember that you need a lot of time to sound this good. The notes to this tune are not difficult to play but the song is difficult to play for beginners because you need to make the music flow as much as possible using meend (See advanced techniques page). In any case you can play it with any key. The notation given below is for the main version used in the film and for the song 'Hum hain is pal yahan'.

There is an alternative version of this song played with an E bass but with different notation. The tune is originally played with an A bass flute. Kisna Theme Tune 'Him hain is pal yahan - A R Rahman, played on flute by Naveen Kumar
