Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan

Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan by Mohd Rafi

Inspired by: My Darling Clementine by Freddy Quinn

Film: CID (1956)
Composer: OP Nayyar

Interesting facts:

- CID was really Raj Khosla's breakthough film. Khosla had initially entered the Film Industry with hopes of making it as a playback singer. He however went on to become one of the great directors of Hindi Cinema. He assisted Guru Dutt through the making of Baazi (1951), Jaal (1952) and Baaz (1953) before getting a break with Jaal's producer and making Milap starring Dev Anand and Geeta Bali. The film however failed to create waves but fortunately for Khosla, mentor Guru Dutt was behind him and produced CID for him.

- Waheeda Rehman made a stunning Hindi film debut in the film as a vamp!

- Jaata Kahaan Hai Deewane. The last song in the movie is one of the best songs ever rendered by Geeta Dutt in her unique seductive style but unfortunately, though a big hit musically, the song does not find itself into the film. It is said the censors did not approve showing a CID officer being bewitched by a vamp! There was also objection to the use of the word Fi-Fi (Kuch Mere Dil Mein Fi-Fi, Kuch Tere Dil Mein Fi-Fi...) as being too suggestive!
