I was watching the Yeh Nayan Dare Dare song video from the movie Kohra - its a beautiful song (I probably love it even more coz one of my all time favorite bengali songs has the same melody). Its a spell-binding collaboration between Kaifi Azmi and Hemant Kumar. I watched the video a couple of times and I cannot forget the scene that goes along with the first antara of this melody. The hero (Biswajeet) is singing this to Waheeda. When he says, `raat haseen, yeh chaand haseen, par sabse haseen mera dilbar', Waheeda's face lights up with a mixture of joy, pride and coquetry. Her eyes dance in delight at the praise being showered on her. Then he continues, `Aur tujhse haseen..'. In an instant, she looks up, her eyes now flashing with anger, surprise and indignation - what can be better than her, they ask? `Aur tujhse haseen, tera pyaar', he concludes, with a smile, and her eyes settle down, content with the answer, re-assured, secure and happy again :)
p.s. and yes I am very sappy romantic lowey-dowey, didn't you know? ;)

awww...u describe it so well.
im a lowey-dowey shappy wappy romantic too.
Ah, the subtleties of old school movie making! Sigh!
One of my all time favorite songs, although my favorite line would be:
Kal ki kisko khabar, ik raat hoke nidar, mujhe jeene do.
I somehow LOVE Hemant Kumar's voice. You know that other song - "Tum Pukar Lo" from Khamoshi? That too is one of my all time favorites!
Sure, I do! I was actually stupid enough to attempt singing it at a competition, with disastrous results, of course!
Hahaha! Kudos to you for attempting it :D
My favorite line : Muqtasar si baat hain, tumse pyaar hain
Although I'm not sure I know what Muqtasar means, always assumed it meant 'succinct' or something like that :)
Yup, that's what it means, succinct/brief.
So, I started watching the 'Yeh nayan' video on YouTube and then went on a string of Hemant Da songs through the related videos....
Thank you! :)
no problemo :)
