“Sabse Bada Rupaiyya”(1955) was directed by P L Santoshi for Alhaad Chitra, Poona. The movie had Shashikala, Agha, Alhaad, Sundar, Nana Palsikar, Achala Sachdev, Krishnakant, Kundan, Raja Gosavi, Haroon, Ramkumar, Vijaybala, Premlata, Rajni, Hira Sawant etc in it.
Three songs from this movie have been discussed in the past.
Here is the fourth song from the movie. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle, Rafi and chorus. P L Santoshii is the lyricist. Music is composed by O P Nayyar.
It is a dance song which is the theme song of the movie as well.
Lots of actors sing and dance in the picturisation of this song. The video quality is quite poor. From whatever I can make out, it appears that Shashikala and Agha lip sync in the voices of Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. I request our knowledgeable readers to confirm/ refute my identification.
The movie ends with this song, so the song is a movie ending song as well.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.

Lyrics (Provided by Nitin Shah)
sabse bada hai ji
sabse bada hai
bada hai rupaiya re
sabse bada hai
magar sabse jhootha
jhootha rupaiya re
sabse bada hai ji
sabse bada hai
bada hai rupaiya re
sabse bada hai
magar sabse jhootha
jhootha rupaiya re
rupaiye ke peechhe bhaage bhagode
bhagte hain jaise race ke ghode
qasmen bhi todin vaade bhi tode
arre laanat hai ham par ke nikle nigode
nikle nigode
rupaiye ne kya kya gul na khilaaye
rupaiye ne kya kya gul na khilaaye
apne bhi hone lage thhe paraaye
noton ka toofaan uthha itna bhaari
noton ka toofaan uthha itna bhaari
lagi doobne thhi mohabbat ki naiya
mohabbat ki naiya
sabse bada hai ji sabse bada hai
bada hai rupaiya re
sabse bada hai magar sabse jhootha
jhootha rupaiya re
jab dekha ke note hain jhoothe
kitnon ke dil toote
jab dekha ke note hai jhoothe
kitnon ke dil toote
mera toota tera toota
inka toota unka toota
sabka toota sabka toota
sabka toota sabka toota
par bada maza to usne loota
jisne samjha maaya jhoothi
daulat jhoothi paisa jhootha
jhootha rupaiya re
sabse bada hai ji sabse bada hai
bada hai rupaiya re
sabse bada hai magar sabse jhootha
jhootha rupaiya re
note hain jhoothe bilkul jhoothe
kaun kahe ye note hain jhoothe
sach poochho wo note hai jhoothe
baabuji wo note hain jhoothe
wo kaun
jinki bhari tijori babu
jinki hoti chori baabu
jinse saari duniya badle
thaali badle lota badle
chappal badle joota badle
sahab badle baniya badle
saadhu badle gunga badle
jinse saari duniya badle
wo hain jhoothe
wo hain jhoothe
wo hain jhoothe lekin babu
ye hain sachhe
ye hain sachhe
arre kaise sachhe
are kaise sachhe
inhin noton ne aankhon ka parda uthhaya
inhin noton ne aankhon ka parda uthhaya
inhin noton ne hamko ye rasta dikhaaya
inhin noton se hamko hai phir se milaaya
inhi noton ne hamko ye sabak sikhaaya
sabak sikhaaya
sabse bada hai ji sabse bada hai
bada hai rupaiya re
sabse bada hai magar sabse jhootha
jhootha rupaiya re
sabse bada hai ji sabse bada hai
bada hai rupaiya re
sabse bada hai magar sabse jhootha
jhootha rupaiya re
