Bhijalele Kshan

भिजलेले क्षण ते क्षण भिजलेले थोडे तुझ्यातले थोडे माझ्यातले चोरट्या स्पर्शातले कधी हातातले कधी ओठातले अबोल एकांतातले कधी मिठीतले कधी रुसव्यातले ते क्षण मनातले मनाच्या कोपऱ्यातले फक्त .... आपल्या  दोघांतले 

Jidhar Dekhoo Teri Tasveer Nazar Aati Hai

Jidhar Dekhoo Teri Tasveer Some time in the early 80’s I had been to Mumbai with my friends and we went to   see Mahaan at V Shantaram’s Plaza. They had installed a new sound system. I can still remember the clarity and crispness of the sound. This song Jidhar Dekhoo stuck with me since then. Kishore’s majestic vocals supported by RD’s outstanding music and Anjaan’s simple words that set the tone of the film. This was the first song in the film that a young Amitabh sings for his wife Wahida Rehman.

This is one of my favorite songs. And it seems to get better every time I hear it.  Movie - 1942 A Love Story  The movie has the backdrop of India's freedom struggle.

The main instruments are Bhanu Dasgupta's Accoustic Guitar, Ronu Majumdar's Bamboo Flute, light percussions for the beats, Cello and the best accompaniment of Violin's for harmony. In this song, the Violin's have a love affair like duet with the main vocal's of Kumar Sanu. They compliment his singing tone for tone. Sanu has sung very well but how I wish that Kishore Kumar was alive to sing this song. Or maybe Amit Kumar. If Sonu Nigam was used we may probably ...
