NO ALTERNATIVE TO THIS CLASSIC
This song is based on raga yaman and sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. These are two all-time greats. Kishore Kumar puts his heart into the song and Lata is maestro-perfectionist. You can feel the enthusiasm of youth through the singing.
Gulzar's poetry is a little different from general poetry. Gulzar's poetry is embedded in the dialogue of the context. It often explains or furthers the dialogue in addition to philosophizing about the situation. So often Gulzar's poems are focused on something simple, daily stuff, and Gulzar assigns meaning to it wisely. Then you come to the song a little later and you realize that there is something deeper, more profound hidden in that small depiction.
Whenever I listen to it, it feels as fresh as the first touch of a cool morning breeze blowing inside through an open window and giving a pleasant shiver to your whole being or the first hot sip of your morning coffee warming and stimulating your senses. It starts with so sweet sounds of swarmandal and vibraphone, then sway in the violins and finally flows in a honey-dipped voice as fresh as morning dew to blow you far away.. Even if you are not watching the song, this aalap makes you feel as if the golden rays of sun are rising from the mountains and dazzling through lushly green woods.
Is mod se jaate hai.. Lataji starts singing one of the best poetries penned by Gulzar and one of the greatest tunes composed by Pancham. Her ascending to the ‘mod’ is so mesmerizing that it takes over you completely right from there! Rhythm starts with tabla and after repeating the first line Lataji ends it to a higher note to invite so soft and soulful voice of KK moulded perfectly for the character. And how aptly lyrics too defines their mindsets! This one is effervescent, vivacious even when the verse gets philosophical. An all-time favourite song.
