“Aankhen” (1968) begins with its its title/ theme song as the credits roll in. This song, sung by Rafi is quite a soul stirring song, one that rouse passions. Sahir Ludhianvi has written this song. His brief was to write a song on “Aankhen”, and he came up with this amazing song.

“Barsaat ki raat” was an awesome musical extravaganza, the likes of which were perhaps seen neither before nor since. The story of the movie itself revolved around a qawwali competion, so naturally the movie was full of qawwalis and most of them have gone on to become all time great evergreen qawwalis. Roshan, the music director of this movie was perhaps the best music director as far as composing qawwalis was concerned, and he made his reputation in this genre in this movie.

I have mentioned that S D Burman, the music director tended to sing a song in his movies. Typically these songs used to be a philosophical/ introductory song played at the beginning of the movie with the credits and the spectators still rolling in.

I have mentioned it earlier that S D Burman tended to have one philosophical song in his movies at the start. Credits would appear on the screen accompanied by the voice of S D Burman singing a song that would set the tone for the movie. This was the case in “Guide”, as well as “Amar Prem”.

There was a movie released just after Amar Prem, which also had a song like this. Unlike the above mentioned movies, this movie “Zindagi Zindagi” was not successful. And I am very disappointed with this fact. I have heard laments that most Bollywood movies are hackneyed. But when some good off beat movies are produced, the audience do not have the maturity to appreciate them.

Impressing masses and classes both, that too without playing to the gallery must be a great quality for any music director. And S D Burman was quite an accomplished music director that way.

And what about his singing ? Different and unconventional no doubt, but what a voice ! He carved a unique niche for himself as a singer of note.

Rajesh Khanna had acted opposite many actresses right from seniors like Asha Parekh and Sharmila Tagore to his contemporaries like Hema Malini and Rekha as well as juniors like Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. There are many Bollywood stars who have acted opposite their wives before marrying them. Rajesh Khanna did not acted against Dimple, but he did something rare. He is perhaps the only leading actor who has acted against his sister in law in a movie.

Kishore Kumar was a master of comedy songs, but he could sing sad songs equally wonderfully, as we have seen earlier. Here we see yet another quality of Kishore Kumar’s singing. He could sing nostalgic songs just as remarkably. Laxmikant Pyarelal are at their versatile best in this song.

The fact that this song uses a train in the lyrics as well as in the picturisation makes listening and watching this song a wonderful experience.
