I look out of the window. Its pouring. And the only song
that comes to my mind is Rimjhim Gire
Saawan. Now there are two versions to this song. One by Kishore Kumar, another
by Lata Mangeshkar and both are equally good. But the one I want to post here is Lata Mangeshkar’s, simply because the orchestra and the instruments
are more upbeat in this one, and it goes perfectly with my mood today!
R.D.Burman’s music is the highlight of this song. The guitar,
violin and the saxophone have been beautifully used. Even the subtle notes
following the alaap are so worth
listening to. Another thing I love about this song is the way it has been
picturised. I mean, look at it! It has been shot like a poem. No matter how cliché
it sounds, but yes; monsoons are romantic. All those who complain about traffic
jams and potholes during the monsoon have probably never been in love!
*Pehle bhi yun toh barse
the baadal,
Pehle bhi yun toh bheega
tha aanchal
Abke baras kyoon sajan
Sulag sulag jaaye mann
