Aage Bhi, Hoga Jo, Uska Karam...

With Pooja nights over, let us get back to only one song at a time. The research was taking a toll on my time..

Since we were talking about Yaadon ki Barat, let me play its theme / title song.

The song has two versions in the movie - one sung by Kishore Kumar & Mohammad Rafi..and another sung by Kolhapure sisters - Shivangi & Padmini..under the lead of Lata Mangeshkar.

Years later, Padmini Kolhapure, who sang as one of the children in Nasir Hussain's biggest hit, was cast in the lead role in one of his biggest flops - Zamane ko Dikhana Hai.

On the other hand, one of the child artists in the version sung by Lata - has went on to become one of the biggest stars of the Hindi Cinema - and a heart-throb of millions - including my wife. 

So this song - not only for RD's lovely & evergreen composition..or Lata's superb rendition ( I love the way she carries the antaras into the mukhda)..

but also for my wife..and for her childhood memories with her brothers - as well as for her most favourite actor - Aamir Khan..who comes across not only very cute..but quite methodical even at this young age in this song..

Age bhee hoga jo usaka karam
Yeh din toh manaayenge har saal ham
Apane aangan naache gaayenge chanda sitaare
