This Lata-Rafi duet stood out

Izzat (1968) was ironically titled, given that it was the only Hindi film in a full-fledged role of a person who straddled a profession once regarded immoral and one where honesty is seldom the best policy – the late Jayalalithaa*.

The only song from the film on this blog was Yeh Dil Tum Bin Kahin Lagta Nahin.

Sahir Ludhianvi penned this track, which Laxmikant-Pyarelal composed. It was rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi.

[*Note: It wasn’t the six-time Tamil Nadu chief minister’s maiden tryst with Hindi films – she made a three-minute appearance in Man-Mauji (1962).]
