Maine Dekha Ek Sapna

As I wrote earlier, Samadhi had Dharmendra playing double role. A double role by a hero naturally means two heroines, and if the story demands, then possibly compositions which can denote two different generations.

In Samadhi, the second heroine's role was played by Jaya Bhaduri. In fact, this was Jaya Bhaduri's 2nd movie with Dharmendra, and the first one where they played a romantic couple. (The first one was of course Guddi, where she had a crush on Dharmendra - giving an amazing performance playing himself - while he worked on getting her cured of that crush.) While the first generation couple was shown more in village, with traditional clothes, bullock carts and wells, the second generation was urbanised - with large cars, fashionable clothes and well landscaped gardens.

Both parts of the story had two songs each with a clear distinct identity to suit the change of location. One of these songs was also an experiment by Pancham. I wish I had the requisite technical knowledge to describe it better. However, as a listener, I find it unique in many ways. Despite being a romantic song, the composition is far from being called soft. In fact, it is quite vigorous. The interludes are also brief. However, most interesting is the way the it has been structured, with notes changing fast almost like overlapping each other. 

May be it could be a good idea to just play it now, for you to understand yourself what I mean. So here it is, Kishore & Lata rendering their voice for the lyrics penned by, once again, Majrooh:
