Asghar, former Controller/ Station Director, Radio Pakistan Lahore (24 June 2011)
This is one of the very best movie I watched when TV arrived in India. One of the finest performance by leading actor & actresses. I will never ever forget this film, social subject and above all music, lyrics & sound.
What lyrical soul stirring/touching music and words, and the voice of Lata ji. Romantic from beginning to end. Balraj is natural as is Naydu. Director's film.
Wonderful song and the whole movie. Balraj has managed to look so much metrosexual though, I don't know what makes him look from 1990s when the film was actually shot in 1960s. In spite of this, he is such a great actor that he can look a perfect farmer, pathan, king, slave or any character for that matter. Unimaginable.
In search of good days, life has been ruined. Ahead is, darkness of death. Khalid Asghar, former Station Director, Radio Pakistan, Lahore. (22 Feb 2010)
Chadar e shab mein ja ba ja, taar hein roshni ke bhi.
Lekin in taron se subah na ho saki aur zindagi ki shaam ho gayee.
Sharing this song with me only shows your brilliant taste and talent in music. It has been my all time favorites. These songs are so deeply engraved on my mind and soul that I do not need any computer or anything. All I have to do is to switch on my memory to listen to every note. Thanks Khalid Bhai.
Thanks dear *sqhzaidi*, i forward such undying melodies to the YouTube members, whom i understand they deserve and will share the pleasure of music with me. Knowing, every body had already listened. And other reason is, that i wish to pay my gratitude to the member, who up loaded, keeping a great aesthetic taste. Khalid Asghar. (14 March 2010)
@Khalid Asghar, nnmenon and sqhZaidi et al: This song has been my a favourite within favourites for many years. Your comments were wonderful too - for the erudition, and more on account of the realisation and India and Pakistan share so much in common with musical tradition. I lived outside India for many years and have many Pak friends. I hope to see a day when these two great peoples learn to love and respect each other. Music could be a great uniter.
Thanks daer *Madsad1607*, a YouTube channel, for your reply. This is such a wonderful melody that always haunted me, and leaving me spellbound. Khalid Asghar.
Fabulous. Very moving. At the end of this sequence, the panel of medical specialists who have arrived at Balraj's house to confer an award on him for outstanding medical service, decide to give it to Leela instead, for her supreme sacrifice & devotion in her husband's cause. Very touching. A 'must see' movie directed by the unforgettable Hrishikesh Mukherjee.
The heroine, Leela Naidu, is actually Telegu, from Andhra Pradesh, which makes her South India. Her father, a nuclear physicist, Dr. Ramaiah Naidu from from Andhra and her mom, an Indologist was Swiss-French.
Thank you Khalid Asghar ji, for uploading this beautiful song.
The picturisation is also genuinely simple. The emotions are visible in the faces of Balraj Sahni and Nazir Hussain ..the sorrow that touches the heart.
Laalilali1000, thanks for the information on this beautiful song. jaanusgirl that was a good explanation. The beauty of the discussion on this song shows the following:
Good music is appreciated irrespective of race
Beauty unites people across the world to see the commonality
You may divide the country(India) but we are the same race, in fact Afghanis and to some extent Iranians think and behave like Indians and appreciate indian music as their own.
Thanks *peddammayi*, a YouTube Channel for accepyance with my anlysis of this great melody in the voice of great Lata Ji. WONDERFUL. Khalid Asghar, former Station Director, Radio Pakistan, Lahore. (LalLali1000 was my previous YouTube channel, now i am with my real name: KhalidAsgharRadioPak). Please SEARCH with my name: Khalid Asghar to listen and watch videos in my voice and compositions. THANKS.
The YouTube is blessings, no doubt, for the listners of such Undying melodies. i listened this song again, it left me spellbound.The new generation is unlucky to have awareness of such melodies. These purifies the soil & provide relief & comfort.Such songs' poetry is meaningful & thought provoking.Composed in Raga KALAWATI with the use of minimum instruments. Thanks a lot.Please send my gratitude to the member of YouTube, who added this LINK. Hope will continue.
Dear *nnmenon*, a YouTube channel. May be, you are right about the name of Raga. But in Pakistan, it is KALAVATI., with 05 notes. the notes are: Sa, Ga, Pa, Dha, Ni (Komal) Sa. All notes are TEEWAR except the note Ni. LaliLali1000 is my previous YouTube Channel. Thanks for your concern about classical music. Khalid Asghar, former Station Director, Radio Pakistan, Lahore & Music Analyst. (21-12-2009)
We in India have Kalavati too which is as you have described. But this song contains re teewar (or shudh as we call it over here) in "kyun" , the later part of "na" and the later part of "ja" in the second line.
This is typical of janasammohini. And when the song ends , Ravi shankar ropes in komal ga also!
LaliLali1000 & LALILALI2008 are the same address. iam Khalid Asghar. Infuture i will use LaliLali1000 for further coments. Since i could not see my written views on LALILALI2008, thought , i commit a computer technical mistake 7 raised the other YouTube Address. I am on my address LaliLali1000, in future. Thanks to YouTube, for providing the RARE songs' LINKS with a sense of peace & Internal Pleasure to face the next day life ordeals. Good music is a source of Mental Strength. Thans a lot.
This is one of the finest melody, indian Composers created. Obviously Lata ji voice delivered the Undying Magic.This is in Raga KALAWATI, my favourite.The composer used minimum instruments and got the immense required impact.The music piece of Sarangi, which is rare used in film music, produced remarkable effect. I have not seen this movie but the little audience also feels inspired. I am grateful to Rajshri for adding this song to YouTube.I am Khalid Asghar from Lahore(Pakistan)
Thank you Ashgar for sharing the information about this lovely song. It is a relief to know that there are people who understand good music. I myself am not an expert, but a lover of music and this song along with others from Anuradha has an ethereal quality. It must be the minimalism or the sarangi, I cannot tire of listening to it.
Thanks dear *sureshrajan67*, a YouTube channel for your acceptance. Now i use my YouTube address with my name: KhalidAsgharRadioPak. If you are interseted, please SEARCH with my name: khalid Asghar. Thanks.
I am grateful to you, dear rajshri for adding this rare song to youtube. i am Former Station director, radio Pakistan, Lahore. Therefore comment with sound knowledge of music. Am a composer, too. A ghazal: JIN KE HOONTOON PE HANSI, produced in the voice of Ghulam Aliis my composition (1972 ) at Radio Multan.This song is in Rage KALAWATI & rendered in true expression. Thanks.
I find it surprising you think these folks look like Caucasians. They are ALL Indians (from India). Some Afghans look like Caucasians even more, coz some of them are fair skinned with light colored eyes. One shouldn't label certain features as belonging to only one race.
