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. 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.
