Jidhar Dekhoon Teri Tasveer Nazar Aati Hai – Mahaan



Simply beautiful! Kishore Kumar has sung it with so much passion & Amitabh was a very loving & caring husband. The music is done by R. D. Burman. Mahaan was actually a remake of Kannada movie named Shankar Guru. Anyway, it was released in 1983 & Amitabh had triple role.

Again it's kind of difficult to choose the best lines. It's sweet when he says, 'Mera hai jo sab hai tera, ab kya mera hai. Meri khushiyon ki tu jagir nazar aati hai.' We live in such a materialistic world that the idea itself is sacred.

'Mar kay juda na ho, teri chahat wahi zanjeer nazar aati hai.' I'm speechless. It must be a fucking great feeling.

Rousseau is so right when he said man is born free but everywhere he is in chains but those chains are damn suffocating.

And this is what we call beautiful poetry: 'Jidhar dekhoon teri tasveer nazar aati hai, teri surat meri taqdeer nazar aati hai.' Superb! And Kishore Kumar has added life to this song.
