According to the music director Ravi (Shankar Sharma), the original tune made by Lucilla Pacheco on piano. Hemant Kumar found it to be too western. The Ravi Indianized it on harmonium. Kalyanji (Virji Shah) had imported a new keyboard instrument called clavioline. He then played it on this instrument. The movie and the tune became very popular I remember hearing it again and again in every function of any kind. It was issued on a record.

Here is the record from collection of the late Suresh Chandvankar.

PS: As far as I know, the clavioline was the first keyboard instrument which was used in a film song. Looks like the record was recorded by Anandji, Kalyanji's brother.
