This is a beautiful song from the 1966 movie "Teesri Kasam" featuring Raj Kapoor as a bullock cart driver and Waheeda Rehaman as a Nautanki dancer.This film won the 1967 National Film Award for Best Feature Film. This movie highlights the life of a Nautanki dancer and the hardships they face.
Love this song sung by Asha ji, composed beautifully by Shankar Jaikishanji and written by Shailendra ji. But the most beautiful element is the graceful dancing by Waheeda ji.

Special thanks to channel "Dreammarchant" who has a great collection if HD videos and I often use them in my uploads.

I have written a little about "Nautanki " as a dance form if interested please enlighten yourself by reading the description which is also present in the end of the video.
I hope you all enjoy this one.
History of Nautanki:
Nautanki is a famous folk theater and operatic drama form, popular in northern India especially in Uttar Pradesh. Before the advent of cinema in India, it was the most popular form of entertainment prevalent in these areas. Usually a nautanki consisted of folklore and mythological dramas with interludes of folk songs and dances. The history of the Swang-Nautanki goes back several hundred years. We find references of Nautanki in a 16th century book called Ain-e-Akbari written by Abul Fazal, a scholar at the court of Emperor Akbar in .
In the late nineteenth century, Hathras and Mathura in western Uttar Pradesh, and Kanpur and Lucknow in central Uttar Pradesh, became the two biggest centers of Nautanki performance and teaching. Both schools differ from each other with respect to their performative form and technique. While the Hathrasi School emphasizes singing more and is operatic in form, the Kanpuri School centers itself more on prose-filled dialogues mixed with singing.
Nautanki reached the pinnacle of its glory in the early 20th century when numerous Nautanki performing troupes, known as mandalis and akharas came into existence. Nautanki mandalis were called akharas due to the prevalence of the particular style of singing in Nautanki that required a lot of physical power. The Nautankis staged by these mandalis or akharas became the main source of entertainment in the small towns and villages of northern India, and remained as such until television and VCRs began to make inroads in the early 1990s.
The Nautanki tradition still has a strong hold over the imagination of people in rural north India. Even after the rapid expansion of mass media such as television and radio, a crowd of 10,000 to 15,000 people can easily gather at Nautanki performances. Like many other folk forms of India, Nautanki's status has been badly affected by the apathy of the political leadership, and the attitude of looking down upon indigenous Indian artistic traditions by powerful urban-based elites suffering from a post-colonial hangover.
