Movie – Baazi (1951)
The song, Yeh kaun aaya, was featured in the movie, Baazi (1951), directed by Guru Dutt, produced by Dev Anand under Navketan Films Banner.
Madan (Dev Anand) is a gambler and plays very well in the shady joint, he frequents. Once Pedro (Rashed Khan) lures him to a hi-end club where Leena (Geeta Bali) performs a song.
Madan has to give in to the temptation of the serious and crime-rent gambling of the hi-end club when his sister falls severely ill. Dr. Rajani (Kalpana Kartik) is approached by him for his sister’s treatment and the doctor stays back at his home until he brings the required money and then till night when his sister is asleep.
Madan borrows his friend’s cab and drops Dr. Rajani home. When she reaches the rich bungalow of her father (K N Singh), she almost intrudes in at a house party. Inspector Ramesh (Krishan Dhawan) is betrothed to Dr. Rajani and insists on seeing her during the party. She stealthily goes to her roam and dresses up for the party. She sits at the piano and sings this song.

The video opens with tea cups being circulated. K N Singh smiles at a guest. The music has already begun and Kalpana Kartik has started singing this song. She gets up and walks around the hall, smiling at the guests.
Kalpana Kartik begins to dance and sidles to Krishan Dhawan, to continue swaying to the tune of the song. Some of the girls approach her and soon the song peters out and the video also ends there abruptly.
Artists
Geeta Dutt sang this song for Kalpana Kartik. K N Singh, Kishan Dhawan and others are also seen in the video among other actors.
Cultural Influence
I don’t find the influence of any culture on this song. The song and the artists are good. The video is watchable for the same.
