This song moves me every time...time changes every thing. So obvious, yet it manages to perplex poets through the eons. And the emotion they use, the resistance to change..it's so sweet and yet so bitter...buddham sharnam gacchami!! Make sense of this maya for me..
The best of Kaifi Azmi(in my opinion) and Geeta Dutt.Of course Guru Dutt makes his presence felt with his direction.Such subtle,underplayed scenes were rare in those days.
Gives me goosebumps!! I can read my life story in every word of this song. Not only is this breathtakingly beautiful but reminds me of all the heartbreaks in my life and all the shattered dreams too.
the intensity, conviction , melancholy and melody in Geetha did's voice is so sweet that we get trasferred to a world of tranquility and reminiscences without awareness.Great!Dr.Nagaraj.B.Mysore
The sadness in the music and geeta dutt's voice touches the heart. Excellent picturisation with good camera movements and remarkable use of light and shadow! I love this song!
Geetaji has been and will remain immortal even long after our departure to where she went. A voice and form of angel on this earth. God Bless you Geetji.
Thank you Yuan Sir! This song reminds me of the year I first left India in 1959, aged 18 and the sadness of it lived in my heart as the ship pulled away from the docks in Bombay. But then you see, the man who wrote the song was a genius. Of course I saw the film before I left, 10 times in 1 week.
Dear Yuan, thanx a lot for ushering me into my youthful days,when i never used to skip a single Gurudatt film. This one offcourse is a marvel of his films, the deep thinking GD is unmistakable so is the depth in the voice of Geetadutt.The most unfortunate thing in their lives was irreparable marital disharmony which ultimately culminated into devastation
@MrYogi1965 - It is just nothing my dear friend, when compare to what YOU have been doing for the last few days, I mean writing hundreds of lyrics of so many songs.
Beautiful song, no doubt. The movie was a disaster at the box office. Guru Dutt lost over Rs.17 Lakh on it. But his next ventures, Chaudvin Ka Chand and Sahib, Bibi aur Ghulam made up his losses.
This choreography itself is a song on celluloid, yet it is a book of subdued love. Nothing cheap here, worth a precious gem. Thanks Yuan, may you succeed ever-so-more in your genuine and friendly efforts in bringing the soft past into our present life.
Geeta Dutt brings such intensity and searing pain to Kaifi words....helpless, doomed love. Love that transcends but love that's tragic...Guru Dutt creator of such treasures was lost early and so is Geeta Dutt, a fantabulous singer deeply in love with Guru Dutt but caught in the cross-fires of romance. Waheeda was silent spectator then as well as now. Could there be anything more epic and more tragic?
what to say, gulp - brilliant, genius, fantastic - i was born in the same studio where this song was picturised - my father managed kamal studios. lived in that era .
singer - actors trio a real life on screen. a live example how sensibilities, attachments prove disastrous. a real movie of real lives. geeta dutt has rendered the bitter truth through her apt expression. a master piece indeed.
Superb song and picturisation,bringing to fore the genius of Guru Dutt,not only as a subtle actor, but also as a brilliant director.Thanks for uploading it.
This song is so beautiful - and, if you've seen the film, the reprise at the end when the director is a ruined man and the actress stands in the ray of sunlight and sings Waqt... to him in the deserted film set -
I just adore this song and the exquisite presentation - just wish there was a way it could reach a wider audience to receive the appreciation & accolades it deserves....
PS: I'm an Englishwoman living in Australia, who from a child was fascinated by the enigmatic mystery & spirit of India...
Thank you for this "special" comment, my dear frind.
Sincerely hope my Indian/Pakistani and Bangladesh friends will read this beautiful comment and all other comments you made on these old gems on several occasions.
Thank you for your generous comments, Yuan, I do appreciate your benevolence, so refreshing in an often superficial old world! I hope I don't offend when I refer to the whole massive region as 'India', I mean the whole sub-continent, but characters are limited, so I abbreviate.... My thanks & appreciation, I hope need no abbreviation... I always assumed YouTube was some kind of computerized Ego-Fest, I just had no idea it was such an amazing resource... Thank you my Friend for enlightening me!
Another truly beautiful song, sung with such passion and pathos, although I have little idea of what she laments, only speaking English,. For me it's easy to image loss, sorrow, regret, missed opportunity's - but maybe I've got it all wrong?? Can we have the title in English, too, PLEASEEEEE? Many thanks :)
Thanks, You're welcome, Y; just glad you are posting these great clips,sharing them with a wider audience - even if we don't precisely get the meaning! That might not be a bad thing, as we can appreciate them on a purely soulful and intuitive level...and isn't this the great gift of movies, that we can still go on appreciating them indefinitely, after the actors and the Process have long gone, & now with the internet, they shouldn't be forgotten & relegated to faded memories? Fantastic job! :)
Trying a very inept translation - Time has brought such a beautiful trouble you are no more yourself neither me myself restless souls mingle so deep as if we were never so apart you got lost i got lost too we had once taken two steps together where to go now cannot decide have embarked but no way to find what to seek we know not each breath is weaving a dream.
Many Thanks - A lovely attempt I'm sure which perfectly complements the scene - I guess from my understanding of the synopsis of the film these 2 characters had become potentially romantically entwined, but duty & family meant he had to leave her to return to his wife & children... Love's path doesn't always run true or smooth... Thanks amisunny... :)
A masterpiece of monumental proposition. Direction was magical. Life is kaagaz ke phool, perhaps but memories are not. Since memories do not die, life is eternal. How can one forget the smile of a baby or the face of a poor beggar on the streets. God is visible everywhere, even in tragedy. A billion blessings to you !
Kaagaz Ke Phool was a movie which was much ahead of the times in which Guru Dutt lived, so many people could not understand his genius then. But this movie is nowhere less compared to his all time hit Pyaasa.
Geeta Dutt's voice full of pathos and Sachinda's music is a magical combination ! One of the greatest songs I ever listened.
