I think it’s essential to post this kind of song on Speak Your Mind as well. I believe you don’t just think, but you go beyond it while listening to it. Both the movie & this song touch your heart, provided you have one.
I have seen Amar Prem a couple of times while I was a kid & I think it’s an amazing movie that portrays the decadence of human values & how they judge humans. In this movie, a prostitute worries more about somebody else’s child & that’s touching & even that boy never forgets her. And you know the society is responsible to a great extent for creating prejudices & that was the reason why Sharmila Tagore stops meeting Rajesh Khanna & that little boy whose step mom was so mean.
Anyhow, I really liked how in the end Vinod Mehra takes Sharmila Tagore home as if she’s his real mother. He gave such fabulous expressions when a man was getting mad at Sharmila Tagore for not working quickly.
Now coming to the song. Kishore Kumar has sung it well. In fact that would be an understatement.
These are pertinent questions. Only a person who could feel can raise them or understand them.
“Yeh kya hua?, Kaise hua? , Kab hua?, Kyon hua? , Jab hua tab hua, O chorro yeh na soccho!”
Anyhow I really like this stanza:
"Hum kyon shikwa kare jhoote
Kya hua jo dil toota
Sheeshe ka khilona tha
Kuch na kuch tou hona thaa hua
In fact bas yeh hee hota hai dil kay saath. (Speaking of which reminds me that some people have so much issues with the fact that people scribble in Urdu on their blogs. We don't run newspapers & there is not written anywhere that we are prohibited to write something in our mother tongue on the blog & if there is such a rule, we gladly fuck it!) Anyhow, it is like people think they have the right to break your heart. It’s some kind of a worthless toy for them. And taking someone for granted is a very old thing. Some people just stay rotten. You know same thing happens again & again.
There is too much pain in the song. It shakes one up. I mean only if you could feel it. It’s not for everyone.
