== Soundtrack ==
It was the second time that [[Mohammed Zahur Khayyam|Khayyam]] worked for a [[Kamal Amrohi]] movie. Earlier he had given music for [[Shankar Hussain]], a movie produced by Amrohi. There is a story as to how Kamal got liking for Khayyam's music. Once Kamal Amrohi and his wife [[Meena Kumari]] liked a song that they had listened to on the radio. The song was "Parbaton Ke Pedon Par" and was sung by [[Mohammed Rafi]] and [[Suman Kalyanpur]]. Later on, they learned that this song was composed by Khayyam for a movie called [[Shagoon]] (1964). However, by the time Razia Sultan went on the shooting floors, [[Laxmikant–Pyarelal]] became the most-sought-after music director duo. So, Kamal Amrohi signed them. But, he did not like one fast-paced tune composed by the duo for the film and told them to compose a new tune instead. When Kamal went to the duo's place to listen to their new tune, he was asked to wait as the music directors were in a meeting. Feeling insulted that he was asked to wait by someone so junior to him, Kamal Amrohi replaced them with Khayyam.
