Pyar Ka Mausam Aaya...


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:
