This was indeed a long break - unintended though. Somehow, with the
cacophonous discourse of the ongoing election, it was difficult to sit
back and appreciate good music. Nature however took over in last couple
of weeks - specially in Mumbai, as the scorching heat in the bargain
added a lovely scarlet red hue to all the green patches.
The
season of Gulmohurs is here!. This brings to the mind one of the
loveliest melodies from Pancham. This is from Devata - a movie made in
1978 starring Sanjeev Kumar & Shabana Azmi in the lead roles.
The song is penned by Gulzar in his inimitable style, (who else could
have used a phrase like Diya jala hai chand ka) and sung by Kishore
& Lata. The composition is very simple, beginning at a fast pace,
before easing out to a lovely beat. RD's choice of instruments add that
lilting silken touch of romance- which otherwise was fast losing space
to loud & blaring music in late 70s.
So here it is - watch
Rakesh Roshan wooing one of the most beautiful & graceful actresses
of my teen years - Sarika. Watch it in HD format to really appreciate
her - and the Gulmohurs.
Sham ke gulabee se aanchal me
Ek diya jala hai chand kaa
Mere un bina uska kahan chand nam hota
Gulmohar gar tumhara nam hota
