Hum Ne Sanam Ko Khat Likha – Sakhti



What a beautiful song! Although we heard it in childhood, yet we made the same mistake as everyone does.

I don't know why did we miss the point: 'Lifafe kay liye lekin patay ki bhi zaroorat hai!'

Brilliant movie! Very cool cast! Great music!
Everything about this movie is excellent. Even the villain had class. And of course the best thing about the movie is Dilip Kumar. Raakhee Gulzar looked very nice with him. They made a very cute couple. Even Amitabh & Smita Patel looked cool.

This was directed by Ramesh Sippy & it was released in 1982. It just did average at the box office but it has been regarded as one of the best works of Ramesh Sippy & to this day, the film is considered one of the greatest flicks in the history of film industry. Moreover, it's the only movie in which Amitabh & Dilip Kumar have worked together.

I loved the dialogue when Dilip Kumar says to his son: Mujhay yeh afsoos nahin hai kay tum nay meray saath badtameezi ki. Par yeh afsoos hai kay tumhari soch kitni ghatia aur ghalat hai.

His dialogue delivery is so that one gets mesmerized every time.

Amitabh is looking very beautiful in this song. And Lata has sung it beautifully.

What a pity people don't write letters anymore :P

Anyhow, I don't know if this is the height of stupidity, cause I've done it & others have done it too...
'Hum ne sanam ko khat likha
Khat mein likha E-dilruba, dil ki gali, shahr-e-wafa.'
And we believed in it so strongly. Naturally we went through the next inevitable step:

'Barson jawab-e-yaar ka, dekha kiye hum raasta
Eik din woh khat wapis mila
Aur dakiye nay yeh kaha
Is daakh khane mein nahin, saare zamane mein nahin
Koi sanam is naam ka, koi gali is naam ki,
Koi shaher is naam ka.'

At least the woman in this song knew one thing: 'Humain bas yeh pata hai woh bohat khoobsurat hai.' The rest of us were even purblind.
