Aruna
Irani was the heroine of Bombay to Goa, and had a couple of songs in
the movie - one of which was not retained in the movie at all. Since,
this was a road movie, perhaps the script could not find situations
where her talent for dance could have been utilised.
However,
she might not have had anything to complain because just a year back,
despite Asha Parekh being the heroine of the movie, it was Aruna Irani
who walked away with some of the best compositions that RD had created
in that year.
Come to think of it, It could have been a
coincidence, but Aurna Irani, over the years, did manage to get some
very unconventional songs from RD - be it a parody or a song full of
melancholy or a classical composition. I will take you to those later,
but for now, here is Lata & RD combining to create a track that
sounds fresh even now.
Hear the beats, and the piece on rabab,
and the sax, and Lata stretching & modulating her voice just enough
to create the yearning - all that which goes into making this song from Caravan very special.
