Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana Life is a beautiful journey turned out to be the last song that Jaikishan recorded before his death.Andaz also proved to be the last hit for Shammi Kapoor as a lead. The success of this movie is credited to the Rajesh Khanna Mania of the 70s, as Rajesh Khanna only appeared forminutes in the movie, and still created a stir.
