Pran Chay Chokkhu Na Chay (Gaaner Opare)

A cute remix of one of my favorite Tagore songs for a bengali television serial in Star Jalsha titled 'Gaaner Opare' (by Rituparno Ghosh).

When I watched the last episode of this serial I was shocked to see that they didn't thank 2 important people behind it's success. First is Rituporno Ghosh, whose idea was this whole thing and second Somlata who sang the title song and this one. I believe this song is the biggest hit among all songs of Gaaner Opare and yet they missed out on these two important people...Strange!

SriBhargav: I see that you haven't read much of Tagore. If you have had, then you would have known how much Tagore was ahead of his times and would have loved this remixed 'Pran Chay Chokkhu na Chay". Tagore wrote about illegitimate with brother-in-law (Charulata) and with husband's friend (Ghare Baire) at an age when woman never stepped out of their interiors. He wrote about loving, but not opting for marriage (Sesher Kabita). He would have loved it that his music has crossed generations.:)

Wow, how innovative - like a breath of fresh air. I used to play guitar for my mom's musicals (giti-natyo??) as a teenager, and remember doing a little arpeggio for *pran chai...* But, t I have been away for many many years now, and heavent heard it for over 2 decades. Nice to hear the same song reinvented. I am looking to buy the DVD if at all possible.

Its funny how most people dnt realize that "gurudev" himself was a copycat. Shiloranjan, who used to work with the music, took a lot of music from baul and other folk songs. The biggest example is that the tune of "Amar Shonar Bangla" is taken DIRECTLY from a baul song. So i believe therz no harm in experimenting with the copycat's music :)

@MrARUPCHOUDHURY & regarding the compositions of Tagore I hope we all keep in mind that some of his compositions were also inspired by western folksongs i.e PURANO SEI DINER KOTHA,was inspired from a SCOTISH FOLK SONG & we believe his lyrics are eternal but whats wrong in changing the music to keep it attractive.Tagore songs we're as modern as possible during his days so we should try 2preserve those eternal lyrics than to debate about the music which is cliche enough to bury the lyrics n future

Thank you for your comments, I wish to inform you, that for GURUDEV's compositions, even a single reed from his Saralipi CANNOT & SHOULD NOT be changed.All singers require many years of formal training from Rabindrasangeet exponents, to sing Rabindrasangeet. After reading your comments, all I can say is "GOD FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
