What happens

Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon (transl. I've brought back the same heart) is a 1963 Indian Hindi-language film. The film became superhit at the box office. This was Nasir Hussain's second production (his first in colour), after the hit film Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai (1961). He also wrote and directed it. It starred Joy Mukherjee and the Nasir Hussain fixture Asha Parekh. Pran played the villain in the film and Rajindernath had a supporting role. It also contains many songs that Mohammed Rafi sang beautifully. This Nasir Hussain film had O.P. Nayyar as the music director. Majrooh Sultanpuri was the lyricist. The film included songs such as the classical "Dekho Bijli Dole Bin Badal Ki", sung by Asha Bhosle and Usha Mangeshkar. It also included the rhythmic solo melodies like "Aankhon Se Jo Utri Hai Dil Mein", "Mujhe Pyar Mein Tum Na Ilzam Dete" (both sung by Asha Bhosle), "Lakhon Hain Nigah Mein" and "Banda Parwar, Tham Lo Jigar" (both sung by Mohammed Rafi), which are popular even today.
