Burman's first hit movie as a film music director was Teesri Manzil (1966).

Burman gave credit to lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri for recommending him to Nasir
Hussain, the producer and writer of the film.[12] Vijay Anand also said that he had
arranged a music session for Burman before Nasir Hussain.[13] Teesri Manzil had
six songs, all of which were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and sung
by Mohammed Rafi. Four of these were duets with Asha Bhosle, whom Burman
later married. Nasir Hussain went on to sign RD Burman and lyricist Majrooh
Sultanpuri for six of his films including Baharon Ke Sapne (1967), Pyar Ka
Mausam (1969) and Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973). Burman's score
forzsos Padosan(1968) was well received. Meanwhile, he continued to work as
his father's assistant for movies like Jewel Thief (1967) and Prem Pujari (1970).
The superhit Kishore Kumar song Mere Sapnon ki Raani from Aradhana (1969),
though credited to his father, is rumoured to have been RD Burman's
composition.[7] Kora Kagaz tha Yeh Man Mera from the same film was also his
tune.[10] It is believed that when SD Burman fell ill during the recording of the film's
music, RD Burman took over and completed the music. He was credited as an
associate composer for the film.
