== Picturization ==<br />
In the film, [[Rajesh Khanna]] stars as Arun Verma, a young pilot from the Indian Air Force. On the Darjeeling toy train, [[Sharmila Tagore]] is Vandana, a recent college graduate who is returning to her hill station home. Arun and his friend, Madan ([[Sujit Kumar]]) have taken leave without permission, and as Madan drives the open top jeep, Arun sings the song in [[Kishore Kumar]]'s voice, flirtatiously eying Vandana, and later in the film, when they meet again, they fall in love.<br />
<br />
== Singer ==<br />
According to the director Shakti Samanta, originally, [[Mohammed Rafi]] was supposed to have sung all the songs in the film (he sang only two song), but he was on 2 month long tour and they didn't want to wait for 2 months. So, he suggested SD Burman to use Kishore Kumar instead as Rajesh Khanna was a newcomer and he agreed. All the songs became chartbuster which made Kishore Kumar overnight sensation.<br />
