The hero and the heroin too shy even meeting each other's eyes, how ever the street singers singing loud the language of eyes.
Beauty of our films is that when our hero/heroin unable to speak out their hearts out of modesty, our street-singers always arrive at the right moment and do the needful.
Thanks for a meaningful upload.
