It is difficult to talk about Pancham and not share with you the songs
that he created while teaming up with Gulzar. But let me get back to his
early years as a music director - specially his penchant for trying
something new.
In the year 1967, when Baharon ke Sapne was
released, came another movie - Chandan ka Palna - a typical formulaic
driven social pot-boiler, starring Meena Kumari & Dharmendra with comedy track comprising of Mehmood & Dhumal.
Not much scope for R D to try
something different. Right?
Well almost, till one comes across
this song - picturised on Mehmood & Mumtaz . While Asha & Manna Dey's rendition make this song worth
listening to, and one can not miss noticing the impact of Bossa Nova & Rock-n-roll of
late 60s on this song, what is more interesting is the jugalbandi-
starting at 4:37 th minute of the song between Indian & western
instruments.
