About this song

Singers
Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhosle
Lyrics
Majrooh Sultanpuri

churaa liyaa hai tum ne jo dil ko (Hindi: चुरा लिया है तुम ने जो दिल को, Urdu: چرا لیا ہے تُم نے جو دِل کو) "As/Since You Have Stolen (my) Heart" sometimes simply called "Chura Liya" or "Chura Liya Hai", is a song from the 1973 Bollywood film "Yaadon Ki Baaraat ".

The movie is considered the start of the "masala" film genre, a kind of movie that mixes action, drama, satire, and musical comedy, and has become dominant in Bollywood films.

The plot of the movie is the stories of 3 brothers separated since childhood, who reconnect as adults. One of those brothers is Vijay (played by the Indian actor Vijay Arora), who falls in love with a beautiful, rich heiress called Sunita (played by the Indian actress Zeenat Aman).

In the video clip, Sunita and Vijay all but declare their love for each other with the background of a party song. Zeenat's scene with the guitar has become anthological, and the song has continued to be reinterpreted by many singers over the years.

The playback singers are Asha Bhosle and Mohammed Rafi, who are among the most influential Bollywood singers of all time.

The song's music was composed by the famous Indian composer R.D. Burman, who used to work in association with these two singers.

The lyrics were written by the Urdu poet and Bollywood lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri.
