Adornments: Haathon Mein Mehndi

"Uphaar" (1971) was a coming of age story of a bride who is childlike in her ways. Based on Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore's short story "Samapti", it was produced by the Barjatyas under the Rajshri banner. It starred Jaya Bhaduri as the adolescent bride and she was just perfect for that role. Her husband was played by Swarup Dutt. He was not seen much in other films later.

Today's song features mehndi which is a favourite adornment of women in general and brides-to-be in particular. I had posted a beautiful mehndi song from "Mehboob Ki Mehndi" in an earlier series "Her Story". You may listen to it here.

Her Story: He's Away!

It is back to the rough and tumble of daily life for the young couple. The new bride finds it hard to adjust to the fact that her husband needs to be away for some time. This song from "Uphaar" (1971) seems just right for this situation.
