Mitwa boley meethhe bain
Posted on: August 5, 2013
This article is written by Pamir Harvey, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Parichay (1972) was Gulzar’s third film as a director. With this film began a fruitful association with R D Burman, who would henceforth give music nearly to all his films, so long the latter lived. Achanak(1973), Mausam (1977), Meera (1979) and Lekin (1999) being the exceptions.
The song plays in a flashback, a technique which Gulzar often used in his films. Sanjeev Kumar plays a musician, son of the strict Rai Saheb. He follows his own way which is different from that of his father, which leads to their separation. This song happens before this.
The song has two versions. The one used in the film is shorter including only the mukhdaa. The one released in the music album has two stanzas.
