"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet..." Thus spoke Plato.
Well! Love not only creates poets, it also creates music. More so, when
it comes to Hindi movies where a song has remained the perfect way to
express one's love. Almost each movie, irrespective of its theme and
mileu, has a love story going for it, creating a need for those love
ballads. Bit it is not always only about verse. A good verse needs good
composition to create that feeling of perpetual warmth in one's heart which only love can evoke.
Pancham, in tandem with some of the best lyricists of Hindi movies,
created songs which have retained their freshness - even after so many
years. One such song is a classic from the repertoire of that eternal
loverboy of Indian Cinema - Rajesh Khanna!
The situation in the
movie provided an opportunity to the lyricist Anand Bakshi to pen verse
which make an attempt to define the love - an undefinable emotion
otherwise - and its inevitability . Kishore brings to life the emotions
in his rendition. And Pancham? He used one of the stock instruments in
most of the movies of late 60s, a grand Piano, in a manner that
spell-bounds the listener, forever. I never get tired listening to this
song as Rajesh Khanna tries to explain to reluctant & reticent Asha
Parekh:
Rahe koi sau pardon me, dare sharam se
Nazar aji laakh churaaye, koi sanam se
Aa hi jaataa hai jisape dil aanaa hotaa hai
Pyaar divaanaa hotaa hai, Mastaanaa hotaa hai
Har khushi se, Har gam se, Begaanaa hotaa hai
