This is a typical Shankar composition. I believe that between the duo, Shankar was responsible for most of the classical raag based tunes as well as the sentimental ones while Jaikishan was more into romantic tunes and light popular melodies. This song, in particular, is one that a person with a liking as well as understanding of Hindustani music will appreciate. There are som very subtle and beatiful melodic raaga patterns particularly in the interlude music.
@muthubharadwaj i agree! but i find Rafi's voice not upto the mark in this song. i know the speed is a little fast but even otherwise, he is not at his best.
I agree this is A very good answer to todays hiphop music but do u know that Shankar Jaikishan specilly asked the lyricist to write this for OP Nayyar !
Thanks Scott, this was my first upload. He is India's evergreen star and the song is in Hindi. The staring lines says - "Don't feel bad about it dear friend, but beating drums and mere shouting is not music at all." Please post more of Shirley!!
