Raat Bhi Rangeen Hai - Rangilee by Geeta Dutt

Raat Bhi Rangeen Hai - Rangilee arrived from the Rangilee album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 1952. Behind the melody is the work of C. Ramchandra, whose composition choices give Raat Bhi Rangeen Hai - Rangilee its distinctive texture.

The vocal on Raat Bhi Rangeen Hai - Rangilee is among the better performances Geeta Dutt has committed to record. The chemistry of Rehana, Raaj Kumar, Yakub, Mumtaz Ali, Leela Mishra is embedded in every moment of Raat Bhi Rangeen Hai - Rangilee, making it as much a performance as a song.
