Song Of The Week


Started my day with this beautiful song and thought of sharing it here. Zindagi kaisi hai paheli from Anand. With lyrics by Yogesh, and music by Salil Choudhary, this is one of Hindi Cinema’s most beautiful songs ever. Soaring and uplifting. And the way the song is picturisied, adds to the beauty. Balloons soaring into the sky as Rajesh Khanna walks down the beach, jovial as ever.

The song was originally composed as a background score for the film. But when Rajesh Khanna heard it, he suggested the director, Hrishikesh Mukherjee to include it in the film. So a situation was specially created to incorporate this song. Though the film is adorned with gems like Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye, Maine Tere Liye Hi, and Jiyaa Lage Na, Anand would have been incomplete without this classic from Manna Dey.

* Kabhi dekho mann nahi jaage
Pichhe pichhe sapnon ke bhaage
Ek din sapnon ka rahii
Chala jaaye sapnon se aage kahan...*
