Talking about the romantic duets sung by Rafi & Lata under Pancham's
baton, here is another of their classics- one of my favorite.
Once again, a Nasir Hussain, Pancham & Majrooh combination. The
song is set amidst a valley, which gave a reason to Pancham to make one
of his first forays into using folk as the base for his composition. The
Composition has a lovely and very interesting prelude. It opens with
guitar chords followed by an echoing alaap by Rafi & Lata. This is in
turn followed by a heady mix of santoor, guitar & clicking of
fingers before Pancham's own brief "O...", somewhere in the distance,
takes the prelude into the main song.
Picturised on Shahi
Kapoor & Asha Parekh, the composition has a beautiful rhythm.
Interestingly, song also features a very young actress who later on went
on to become one of the most famous TV anchors - during Doordarshan's
Black & White era – Tabassum of Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan.
Here it is – from Pyar Ka Mausam:
