It stars Dev Anand, Kalpana Kartik, Nimmi in lead roles. The music of the film was composed by the classical musician Ali Akbar Khan, with lyrics by Narendra Sharma. Jaidev, who was a student of Khan from Lucknow, and later became a noted music director, started his career by assisting Khan in film music. The background score of the film was also done by Ali Akbar Khan along with other Hindustani classical musicians, including Pandit Ravi Shankar and Pannalal Ghosh. Lata Mangeshkar sang the title song "Har Kahin Pe Shaadmani", and, as a token of her respect to sarod maestro, did not charge any fee. The dances were choreographed by Lakshmi Shankar, who also sang a song, while Gopi Krishan choreographed his own dances. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
