Lagi Aaj Sawan - Chandani

Lagi Aaj Sawan Ki Phir Woh Jhadi Hai from the movie Chandani is more than a monsoon song. It is not any romantic song sung in the rain. This song signifies the pain of living a life without one's loved one and associated it with memories of the person and the rain.

As far as the movie is concerned, Chandani is an ok flick. I hate the first half in which they have shown a very bubbly, cheap romance of Sri Devi and Rishi Kapoor. But I love the second (serious) half in which Vinod Khanna's character is more dominant.

I know it is sad and most people wouldn't want to associate rain with sadness, but it is such a nice song I couldn't resist putting it my collection here.

Har Kisi Ko Nahi Milta - Janbaaz (1986)

Last night I saw a bit of Jaanbaz (1986) for the zillionth time. Even today, at least I find the movie quite entertaining. It dealt with a serious issue of drugs/cocaine at a very early time and executed the idea in a more than perfect way. The depth and detailing of the characters was quite impressive and natural. I give full points to Feroz Khan for making a highly entertaining flick so long ago.

If somebody likes to review classics, one can't miss out on Jaanbaz, which has story, sex, songs and much more in the right quantity. The only thing that disturbs me are the changing hairstyles of Dimple Kapadia throughout the movie when she looked all good with the longer, natural hairstyle of hers. Secondly, she just looked far too experienced and slutty in comparison to Anil Kapoor (who was the notorious son of a rich man). I particularly enjoyed watching Amrish Puri in this movie. He and Anil Kapoor shared a very strong chemistry as father and son in Jaanbaz.

Anyway, enjoy this song, which is quite intense and beautiful. A lot of people who have not experienced true love or have been unlucky when it comes to romance might find the lyrics quite deep.
