Dev Anand has always been in vogue like old wine. Many may defer that his films didn't get better towards the fag end of his industrious career. But that's hardly the first thing that comes to mind when you say 'Dev Anand.' The word 'Evergreen', a scene filled with hippies taking a hit from the bong, a characteristic nod, and his pouf are some of the things that rush to mind. He is such an icon that what transpired on screen towards the latter part of his life can be forgiven and forgotten.
Thousands of folks around the world are probably digging out old LPs/tapes/CDs of music from Dev Anand's classics. While the song Main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya from his film Hum Dono could serve as an eulogy, we bring you a roundup of a handful of songs from the many that keep Dev Anand's magic alive.
