Rain Songs: Pyaar Hua Iqraar Hua

Raj Kapoor and Nargis walking in pouring rain under an umbrella, three kids walking in raincoats, and the familiar strains of pyaar hua iqraar hua...most of us are very familiar with these images and sounds. They have appeared on the telly over and over again. Enjoy this very popular song from "Shree 420" (1955) today. Raj Kapoor was heavily influenced by Charlie Chaplin's "Little Tramp" while making this film that told the story of an orphan. Both, he and his film were very popular in the then Soviet Union.

Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey
Lyrics: Shailendra
Music: Shankar Jaikishan
