Look what a remarkable gem I discovered just a few hours ago ! This song is from “Pardesi” (1957). Though I have discussed two songs from this movie already in the past, I was not aware of the fact that this movie was an Indo Soviet production which was made in Hindi as well as Russian languages. In the movie, a Russian man (played by Oleg Strizhenov) comes to India and falls in love with an Indian village belle, played by Nargis.

A wonderful gem of a duet from Hamdard (1953). This is such a wonderful classical jugalbandi, such a pleasure to listen with your eyes closed. It is almost a divine composition, a signature composition by Anil Da, with more than one raga blended seamlessly into a single flow. A virtuous melody, and a pleasure to listen to.
