The House of Navketan started in 1949 by #DevAnand and his elder brother #ChetanAnand, introduced many talented people in the Indian film industry.
#SahirLudhianvi, a left-leaning poet, wrote some of the finest lyrics for Navketan films such as Baazi, Taxi Driver, Funtoosh and Hum Dono. Badruddin, a bus conductor discovered by writer-actor #BalrajSahni, a friend of the Anand brothers was often given roles of a drunkard and hence got the moniker #JohnnyWalker. Navketan also launched Guru Dutt, director, and pioneer of the Bombay noir genre in the film Baazi.

The film also re-introduced music director S.D. Burman who was packing his bags to return to Calcutta. And #Jaidev, a long-time assistant to S.D. Burman, was launched as a music director in Hum Dono, in 1960.
