Not too many people know this, but Pran has a hugely impressive body of songs associated with his characters on screen. Here's looking at Pran's chartbusters.
Kasme vaade pyar wafa: Upkar (sung by Manna Dey)
Jeena toh hai usski jissne yeh raaz jaana hai kaam aadmi ka auron ke kaam aana: Adhikar. This evergreen qawaalli sung by Mohd Rafi and filmed on Pran embodies Pran's real-life philosophy.
Yaari hai imaan mera: Zanjeer. When Manna Dey sang for a second time for Pran after Upkar, it had to be something special. This qawwalli was a bigger hit than the other Kalyanji-Ananji chartbusters in Zanjeer.
Raaz ki baat kehn doon toh: Dharm. The qawwalli sung by Asha Bhosle and Mohammad Rafi and filmed on Bindu and Pran dragged this potboiler to a blockbuster level.
Hum bolega toh bologe ki bolta hai: Kasauti. The film again got its box office clout solely from this Kishore Kumar song filmed on Pran.
Phir na kehna Michael daroo peekey danga karta hai: Majboor. A Goan tune composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and sung with gusto by Kishore Kumar. Interestingly, Kishoreda also sang for the Big B in Majboor.
Do bechare bina sahaare: Victoria 203. The song was a rage. Mahendra Kapoor sang for Pran while Kishore Kumar crooned for his brother Ashok Kumar.
