Jaidev, who was a student of Khan from Lucknow, and later became a noted music director, started his career by assisting Khan in film music.[2] The background score of the film was also done by Ali Akbar Khan along with other Hindustani classical musicians, including Pandit Ravi Shankar and Pannalal Ghosh.[3][4] Lata Mangeshkar sang the title song "Har Kahin Pe Shaadmani", and as a token of her respect to sarod maestro, did not charge any fee.[4] The dances were choreographed by Lakshmi Shankar, who also sang a song, while Gopi Krishan choreographed his own dances.[5]
Plot
Ram Mohan (Dev Anand), an honest lawyer, is in love with Janki (Kalpana Kartik), the beautiful daughter of Lala Dindayal (M. A. Latif). Dindayal accepts the marriage proposal. On the other side, Kuberdas (K. N. Singh), a rich businessman has a lustful eye over Janki. In order to marry Janki, he devises a wicked plan, asking the already cash strapped Dindayal to either sell of his assets and repay the loan he had given in the past or give his daughter Janki's hand in marriage.
