Rain Songs: Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi

After several songs in which people singing them on the screen get drenched, two versions of a classic melody today. They talk of rain all the time, but not a single drop of rain anywhere in sight. The faces of Bharat Bhushan and Madhubala are good for a study in contrasts...of being expressionless and expressive, that is. This happens to be the second song from "Barsaat Ki Raat" (1960) in this series, the first one being Garajat barasat saawan aayo re.

Rain Songs: Garajat Barasat

It's the rainy season and possibly the best time to recall some lovely rain songs. The first one that comes to mind is a duet from "Barsaat Ki Raat" (1960). This film is one of Roshan's best works, having many excellent songs. Apparently, he had used the same composition for a melody from "Malhar" (1951). It is a treat! Check out both of them.
