It completed Lata’s ‘DooR’ duology

If one were to put 1958, Lata Mangeshkar, and the word ‘Door’ (far) in the same sentence, a couple of tracks would come to mind.

And both of them happen to be on this playlist.

While I had already written about one of them in an earlier post, the subject of this post – Chahe Paas Ho Chahe Door Ho – was the other.

It was the only song from Samrat Chandragupt in my collection.

Mohammed Rafi joined her behind the microphone for it.

Bharat V(y)as the lyricist, and the song was composed by Kalyanji Virji Shah.
