Here are some interesting facts about the song "Ek Haseen Shaam Ko Dil Mera Kho Gaya" and the film Dulhan Ek Raat Ki (1967).

Facts About the Song "Ek Haseen Shaam Ko"

1. Triple Collaboration: This song is a prime example of the legendary collaboration between Mohammed Rafi (Voice), Madan Mohan (Music), and Raja Mehdi Ali Khan (Lyrics). This trio was famous for creating romantic and melancholic masterpieces throughout the 1960s.

2. Madan Mohan's Melody Magic: The melody is classic Madan Mohan—soft, intricate, and deeply romantic. He used a gentle waltz-like rhythm to accompany the poetry, giving the song a dreamy, slow-dance quality that feels timeless.

3. The Perfect Evening: The lyrics, "Ek Haseen Shaam Ko Dil Mera Kho Gaya" (My heart got lost on one beautiful evening), perfectly capture the theme of love at first sight in a serene setting. The song is often cited as a textbook example of a perfect romantic Bollywood composition.

4. Influence from Afar: The composition style, particularly the use of gentle percussion and soaring string arrangements that fill the background, has definite influences from the soft European romantic music popular in the 1960s, subtly adapted into a distinctively Indian melody.

Facts About the Film Dulhan Ek Raat Ki (1967)

1. Loosely Based on a Novel: The film's narrative is loosely inspired by the famous 19th-century French novel La Dame aux Camélias (The Lady of the Camellias) by Alexandre Dumas. The novel deals with themes of forbidden love, sacrifice, and social status.

2. Dharmendra & Nutan Pairing: The film starred the versatile actress Nutan and the rising star Dharmendra. Their pairing was considered refreshing at the time, and their on-screen chemistry, especially in the romantic scenes accompanied by the brilliant songs, was highly praised.

3. Critical Reception: While the film itself was a modest success, it is primarily remembered today for its unforgettable soundtrack. The music alone helped solidify its place in Bollywood history, proving the immense power of its composer and singer.
