Akaash Kane Deko..

With weekend, Pooja & Navratri celebrations are at its high - leaving not enough time for the posts.

Yet, would like to do a quick post:

This time one of the most popular numbers of RD, Kishore & Rajesh Khanna combination.

But first the Bangla composition - Akash Keno Dake - released around 1967, sung originally also by Kishore Kumar - the composition is a dead give-away of its Hindi version:

As I said, a dead give-away:

So here is the Hindi version - from movie Kati Patang. 

It might be my perspective or perhaps, Rajesh Khanna's performance, the theme of the movie & very very romantic lyrics, adding a different context to the song - but Kishore Kumar sounds much more soulful - as compared to the Bangla version. Even the composition & the structure seems to be having more punch, despite adhering to the basic tune - including the whistling.

Whatever it may be, the song remains one of the most popular songs of this combination. Here it goes for you all:
Ek ruthi hui, taqadir jaise koi
Khaamosh aise hai tu, tasveer jaise koi
Teri nazar, banke zubaan, 
Lekin tere paigaam diye jaaye
