The song posted here, starts with partial Bengali version followed by full Hindi version i.e. “Ye nain dare dare” from the movie – Kohraa by Singer & Music Director -Hemant Kumar. Picturised on Vishwajeet and Waheda Rahman, this song is among the best songs of its genre - Nice lyrics (Kaifi Azmi), alluring music, amazing singing, and with picturisation to match. Hemant Kumar has sung some outstanding songs for Vishwajeet and their combination was as hit & popular as Rafi-Shammi Kapoor, while in the Bengali flims the duo Hemant and Uttam as a playback singer-actor pair, is still unprecedented.
