3. 1. This song has an unusual history to it: it cost
10lakh bucks to make, at a time when most
movies were made at a lesser cost. It was
written and re-written 105 times until the music
director approved. It was shot at the Sheesh
Mahal, and in those days there was no way to
provide reverberation of sound. Lata
Mangeshkar had to sing the song in the studio
bathroom! This song was one of the three
sequences to be shot in technicolour while the
rest of the movie was in Black & white.

he often opened the innings with his partner Y. Both X and Y were
eventually dropped due to their inability to deal effectively with
fast bowlers. X was especially hounded by the Aussie critcics who
said that he can never get adjusted to Aus pitches. Sehwag rose to
fame as an opener around the time these guys were dropped. X
