75 Years of #Barsaat (22/04/1949)

Barsaat is directed by #RajKapoor. The film stars the famous duo of Kapoor and #Nargis as well as #PremNath.

One of the posters showing the heroine dangling on the arm of the hero would go on to inspire the R K Studios' famous logo.

The film was the debut of music director Shankar Jaikishan and established their career. Lyrics by Ramesh Shastri, Hasrat Jaipuri, Shailendra, Jalal Malihabadi, and Akhilesh.

Seems as if we finally can enjoy a decent quality version of “Kaagaz Ke Phool” (1959, dir. Guru Dutt))! (I strongly recommend youtube channel tommydan55 for watching classic Indian cinema anyway.)

“Kaagaz Ke Phool” has Guru Dutt himself, Waheeda Rehman, Johnny Walker, Minoo Mumtaz, Veena, Mahesh Kaul and Kumari “Baby” Naaz in the lead roles.

Screenplay by Abrar Alvi, lyrics by Kaifi Azmi and Shailendra, music by S.D. Burman, main singers are Geeta Dutt and Mohd. Rafi. 

The breathtakingly beautiful and poignant cinematography is by V.K. Murthy (who also has a cameo appearance as assistant director of photography). It was India’s first film in CinemaScope. There is also a second version filmed with conventional lense, as only very few cinemas were able to screen a letterbox movie in those days.

Tere Mere Sapne Ab Ek Rang Hain, Ho Jahan Bhi Le Jaayein Raahein Hum Sang Hain Mere Tere Dil Ka, Tay Tha Ik Din Milna, Jaise Bahaar Aane Par, Tay Hai Phool Ka Khilna

O Mere Jeevan Sathi

Tere Mere Sapne Ab Ek Rang Hain, Ho Jahan Bhi Le Jaayein Raahein Hum Sang Hain

Song by #MohdRafi, #SDBurman, #Shailendra
