Music In The Mountains: Pyaasi Hirni Ban Ban Dhaye

Rajshree is the daughter of legendary filmmaker V. Shantaram and his actress wife Jayshree. She quit her successful career in films after marrying an American gentleman decades ago. Presenting a haunting solo from "Do Dil" (1965) in which she starred with Biswajeet. Hrishikesh Mukherjee directed this beautiful film. The story revolves around the theme of palace intrigue in royal families.

The song has been shot artistically with the lovely Rajshree sprinting across hills and valleys.The camera follows her, giving us breathtaking views of the landscape. Biswajeet is drawn to her mesmerising voice, and he follows her too. In the midst of all this running, we are treated to a superb melody. Kaifi Azmi as the lyricist is a surprise. Someone like Bharat Vyas would have been my guess!

Another song Saara mora kajara from the same film has appeared in this space earlier under a different theme.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi
Music: Hemant Kumar

    The you tube links don't work on your blog site. Need to view the songs on youtube website. Just thought of letting you know
