Buddha Mil Gaya - a 1971 classic thriller-comedy directed by Hrisihikesh Mukherjee saw Majrooh & RD combining to provide another musical treat. Of course RD could not resist using Kishore again, for the romantic numbers - this time for Navin Nishchal.
The movie was a whodunit with well shot sequences of murders that actually managed to scare the audience. Since a good thriller is one which should keep the audience on a roller coaster ride, each of these homicides were followed by a song sequence. In order to soothe the frayed nerves of the audience, a bhajan which runs like a strand through the movie was a perfect idea and suited the movie.
RD composed the bhajan in Raga Khamaaj and used Manna Dey's voice for Om Prakash - the main protagonist & the key suspect in the movie. Majrooh, while penning the verse, also managed to provide a hidden meaning to otherwise a simple bhajan, thus deepening the mystery that lies behind the character portrayed by Om Prakash.
Main naa kahu kachhu mose naa rutho
Tum kud apne jiyara se puchho
Bitee kaha pe kal sham,
Aayo Kahan se Ghanshyam
