Music n Fabric


The bubbly emotions of Nimmi can't contain themselves inside her youth. They explode and fill romance in the minds of the on looking ladies working in the '
sarson' fields.

Tiny yellow flowers of mustard plants represent the smallest of small emotions that make her happy by just the thought of being loved by her beau.

Dil ke hindole pe koi jhoolna jhulaye

Seeing Nimmi so joyful is rare. In Barsaat she's seen celebrating the same thought. But the way she sways with the breeze and let's herself get carried away by her emotions, is something I liked more in this song.

Rang meri jawani ka liye jhoomta ghar aaya hai sawan

Again, the feeling of oneness with nature!!
It's not because the month of 'sawan' has brought a rainbow of colors over the horizon. She says, nature is just a reflection of her thoughts. So beautiful a thought! Shakeel Badayuni ji.. Salaam 🙏
Naushad Saab weaves these youthful emotions with bhimpalasi to make a song that makes you sway in the chair you're sitting right now, even if it isn't a rocking chair 😁
That's the beauty of classics! A song from a 1952 film makes me dance and swing even today!
Now, coming to the color version of this song, I just loved the drapes. Nimmi's blouse catches my attention. It is kutchi block print with mirror work. And her ghagra is of bandhej material. Love the half saree concept! I wish I wore such!
And later, when she is pulled up on the horse's back to travel along with her beloved, loved the color of Dilip Kumar's turban. Pink turban against the blue sky.
Black and white had it's own charm. But digital colors add a beautiful tone to the picture.
