What happens

Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai (transl. When One Falls in Love) is a 1961 Hindi-language musical comedy film that became a box office hit. It was written, produced, and directed by Nasir Hussain. The first film Hussain ever produced, it featured Dev Anand and Hussain fixture Asha Parekh in the leading roles. Pran played the villain in the film and Rajindernath starred in a supporting role. Hussain would rework some of the elements from this film into a later film, Teesri Manzil (1966). This was also the only time that he used Shankar Jaikishan as music directors and Dev Anand in a leading role. The playback singers were Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar. In 2010, Shammi Kapoor revealed that Nasir Hussain had brazenly offered the film to him. Unhappy with his attitude, Kapoor declined the role. But he opined that this may have been an excuse by Hussain as he had already signed Dev Anand. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
