haha omg how much i love this song lol.

CleopatraUK on Saturday, September 13, 2008
Awesome Helen and Geeta Bali

Festerius2008 on Tuesday, September 16, 2008
World War Eleven? Man, I was in that coma longer than I thought!

;) Ha, ha!

Razor Edge on Saturday, October 04, 2008
She was about 18-19 when this movie was made (1958). As has already been
pointed out, she was born in Burma to an Anglo-Indian father and Burmese
mother. I guess that's probably why she was pretending to be a
Chinese/Singaporean girl in this song?

ayanmisra on Monday, November 03, 2008
The flavour of the whole film comes through in this song-gangsters,molls and desi action.

hellohemantkumar on Thursday, November 20, 2008
Surely Iam not of the 1950s ,but having gone through these great videos I now can emphatically say that the people in those days were more disciplined and highly fashionable.

RIna Roi on Wednesday, December 24, 2008
i used to remember this song but asrani singing it hahahah i bet i was
versy young when i saw this hahaha

BabiiGyul on Tuesday, December 30, 2008
How i love this song sooo much!!! Helen is one of my all time fave actresses!

AydielovesRyanHiga on Tuesday, December 30, 2008
Helen might be a oldie but she is also a goldie. my god she si good. for me
this is the first well done western theme of a indian song that bollywood
made. i love indian movies from 1950-1980 they were the best ones. this
song is good but it was helen that made it spicy.:)

AydielovesRyanHiga on Tuesday, December 30, 2008
i forgot to say was that the backround music, like forget now about the
singing the intro sounds like some melody from a mickey mouse video from
the old days, maybe like 1930 or something. haha:) but i luvv this song<3

KingOfMumbai1989 on Saturday, January 17, 2009
i can't believe that's Helen! WOW!!!

cyber2thdoc on Saturday, February 28, 2009
Takes me back to my days of youth in India. I'm gettibg homesick.

exobeau on Monday, March 16, 2009
nah, her father was Anglo-indian

KingOfMumbai1989 on Monday, March 16, 2009
EXACTLY!!! and the dance from Sholay and Don!

hebneh on Tuesday, March 17, 2009
"Hello mister, how do you do?" So she starts out looking Chinese, and then
magically changes into western clothes, while singing in Hindi (I assume)
with a mixture of American and Indian musical elements throughout. Ain't
these movies grand? And crazy? Encountering them as an American who's never
seen any of this stuff before, it's not only amazing, but amusing too.

catcookie on Wednesday, March 18, 2009
wasn't this song also in the movie Hollywood Bollywood?

MzTizzleCakez on Wednesday, March 25, 2009
She looks so much different than she does in this than she does in her
later films. She looks chinese and she seems alot less thicker than in her
other movies.

v1jan on Thursday, March 26, 2009
thats because she was only 18 in this movie. This movie was released in 1958. Besides, Helen looks more Chinese because her mother is Burmese. Burma is located very close to China. Her father is Indian

MzTizzleCakez on Thursday, March 26, 2009
Wait I heard that she had english in her too ?

v1jan on Thursday, March 26, 2009
Her father is only 25% English. People call him 'English' b/c no one has seen him. Even Helen hasn't seen her father. Helen's dad died in 1942 during World War 2. Helen's mother said that Helen's father is INDIAN with a little English in him. People just assumed he was FULL English.

24569649 on Thursday, March 26, 2009
Helen mentioned in a recent interview that her father is like only quarter
English . She is more Indian. Her mom is from Burma. She got the Chinese
looks from her mom.

thenicerevolution on Tuesday, March 31, 2009
i think you mean "bollywood/hollywood", but yes, probably. movies like that - movies that try to crossover from indian culture to american culture (in an attempt to appeal to members of the Indian diaspora) - often use old/current Bollywood songs as referential points. Indian-Americans and immigrants often recognize these songs right away, whereas non-Indian viewers usually assume that they are simple a part of the film. (See, e.g. "Chunari Chunari" in Monsoon Wedding)

Kennyboy1 on Tuesday, April 14, 2009
She is thicker because in the documetary "Helen Queen of the Natuch Girls"
she mentions that she was 14 when she did this song and that she "paddel"
all over so she looked older with curve lol

Ash Loveny on Thursday, April 30, 2009
A beautiful gem by the great O P Nayyar. Thanks

kakamorak on Monday, May 04, 2009
this is very very funny!

kakamorak on Monday, May 04, 2009
2:10 lololololol

poodyglitz on Thursday, May 21, 2009
Sung by the inimitable Geeta Dutt.

NeeliAankhen on Wednesday, May 27, 2009
245 - if you can give a reference for that interview I'll be so grateful. I
notice in this clip, where Helen is so young - what nice long arms and legs
she has .

hossshel on Wednesday, June 17, 2009
i think its singapore..

Belette holt fente on Wednesday, July 08, 2009
Howrah Bridge is tghe title set in Calcutta. Big Chinese community there.

thewinner84 on Thursday, July 09, 2009

Belette holt fente on Friday, July 24, 2009
No it's calcutta.

stevec5353 on Saturday, August 01, 2009

sanh2o on Sunday, August 09, 2009

BoboLover95 on Friday, August 21, 2009
this song is never going get old

Sushila Lazarus on Thursday, October 01, 2009
Was this Geeta Roy (nee dutt ) ??

Tonyroy00 on Thursday, October 01, 2009
It was Geeta Roy who became Dutt after marrying Guru Dutt...

durlabh kolhe on Tuesday, October 06, 2009
hamesha jawan geet by o.p and aashaji.

mattgriffin00 on Thursday, October 15, 2009
What do these lyrics mean? I really love this piece -- and am completely addicted to Geeta Dutt based on her collab with Guru Dutt.

Blaze6432 on Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo means My name is Chin Chin Choo.

mattgriffin00 on Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Well, I know what the title means, I just don't know what the lyrics mean. Is there a translation anywhere? I want to track down the movie somewhere.

Belette holt fente on Saturday, November 07, 2009
What an entrance in to the world of films. This was Helen's very first
scene.

ornleifs on Monday, November 16, 2009
I don´t think I haver ever heard a more Fun-Filled song,it is brimming with Joy, Energy, Gusto and Humour. The Dancing is Great and the Singing too but the unsung Heroes here are the Musicians, to play like that with such enthusiasm is not easy, believe me. Bravo -Bravo- Bravo !!!

Mohammed Yousuf on Tuesday, November 17, 2009
This song gave Helen a big break but this is not her debut dance. She dance
with famous Cuckoo in may movies and before this she dance Alif Laila
(1952), Hoor-e-Arab (1953), and number "Mr. John O Baba Khan" in the film
Baarish etc.

Belette holt fente on Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Thank you Yusuf. I stand corrected.

deep388 on Friday, January 01, 2010
Helen really looks Chinese here...and very pretty might I add, beautiful song from the yesteryears...

durlabh kolhe on Saturday, January 09, 2010
rocking song.

Marianvalkyrien on Thursday, January 21, 2010
she is half Burmese.Imagine if she could have performed with elvis,who made
his film debut at roughly the same time.

shrfq on Friday, January 22, 2010
Hi this is great work of music. Love helen and those who made this music! Hilarious, funny, and lifting mood!

shubhvm on Friday, February 12, 2010
