The video opens with Nutan abruptly beginning the song. Dev Anand bumps into a village girl holding water pots on her head, who drops them the moment he crashes into her. He kicks the metal pot and moves on. Nutan follows him.
He lights a cigarette and moves toward her to frighten her. She hits his hat with a sling and it flies off. He sits below a large tree and she continues the song. He has his hat covering his face and he is apparently asleep. She tries to tease him again.
But, he catches hold of her hand and hits his belt on her back. She stops singing in fright. The video ends there.
Artists: The playback of this song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and the onscreen performances are by Dev Anand, Nutan and others.
Cultural Influence: This is a typically filmi song with the heroine teasing the hero. The song and the artists are good. The video is watchable for the same.
