  Raja Aur Runk is the story of a prince and a pauper. Two children born on the same day at the same time - one to the king Raja Sahib and one to the poor man Hariya (Ajit). The king is thrilled at the birth of Yuvraj the heir to the throne while Hariya is cynical about the birth of his son Raja. Both the children grow up looking identical but there is a constant contrast in their lives and upbringing. One day Raja runs away from home and somehow ends up in the palace where he meets Yuvraj. Both the boys discover how different their lives are. Being tempted to see the world outside Yuvraj changes identities with Raja and leaves the palace. Both boys now struggle in vain to adjust to their new identity. Raja's mother (Nirupa Roy) and sister Sujjo (Nazima) both are miserable with his changed behaviour and the King is also very distressed about Yuvraj.

The hit team of Anand Bakshi and Laxmikant Pyarelal created melodious songs like 'Tu Kitni Achchi Hai...O Maa' 'O Phirkiwali' 'Mera Naam Hai Chameli' and 'Sang Basanti Ang Basanti'.

  BAHAREN PHIR BHI AAYENGI is on one hand a classic love triangle and on the other the triumph of truth. Amita (Mala Sinha) the editor of a newspaper fires her young reporter Jiten (Dharmendra) for his story about some corrupt but influential builders only to discover that his report is true. She hires him back and secretly falls in love with him but finds out that Jiten is in love with her own younger sister Sunita (Tanuja). Meanwhile the pressure from the board of directors to fire Jiten mounts as his stories get too uncomfortably close to the truth... One of Guru Dutt's last films Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi was under production when he died in 1964 and his brother Atma Ram completed the film casting Dharmendra in Guru Dutt's place. Guru Dutt had initially asked S.D. Burman to compose the music for the film subsequently replacing him with O.P. Nayyar. (Interestingly the Kishore Kumar solo Yeh Dil No Hota Bechara from Jewel Thief was rejected as the theme song for his film!). Apart from sensitive performances by Dharmendra Mala Sinha and Tanuja the film's music is one of O.P. Nayyar's best scores with such hits as Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi (Mahendra Kapoor) Aap Ke Haseen (Mohd. Rafi) & Who Hans Ke Mile Humse often rated as one of Asha Bhonsle's 10 best songs.
