Music In The Mountains: Humne Jo Dekhe Sapne

Here is a pleasant duet from "Parivar" (1968). It is a family drama starring Jeetendra and Nanda. The film underlines the importance of keeping one's family small. It was well-timed too, considering India had introduced its family planning program in the early fifties. But somehow it remained just a routine potboiler instead of being a film with a powerful social message. This song however stood out, and it is because of this that we are even talking of the film today.
