Speaking of Desh Deepak's 'first' then, the song 'Aththanni Si Zindagi' seems to stand out
The lyrics of the song complement its lilting melody and beat. The song is about life's spontanaeity.
But more lasting, I think, will be the song Jhooth Bolta Hai Roz Roz Aaina, sung by Lataji and then again by Rekha Bhardwaj. It has more depth.
You've teamed up with Vishal regularly since you first worked with him on the theme song of the serial, 'Daane Anaar Ke'. What is so special about his music?
I was responsible for giving him his first feature film break - we did Maachis together. He brought melody back into music when there was only beat. In Jahan Tum... too, it's his melody that holds you.
Will music always be dear to the Indian Audience?
Music has a natural place in our lives. Right from the shlok you recite in your morning puja and the milkman who comes whistling on his cycle, to the fakir singing as he begs for alms and your mother humming around the kitchen...music fills our spaces naturally.
it will always be dear to us.
Ajay, here are the lyrics of "Jhooth Bolta Hai" Jahan Tum Le Chalo
Shauk khwab ka hai aur neend aaye na
Jhooth bolta hai roz roz aaina
Saans jo sulagti hai(2)
To aankh jalti hai
Kya pata ye dil ki hai ya meri galti hai
Kisko main mana karoon dhuwan udaye na
Jhooth bolta hai...
Nukhta cheen hai dil mera(2)
mujhe sukoon nahin
Main kahoon ke yoon to dil kahe ke yun nahin
Jaanti hoon sab magar samajh mein aaye na
Jhooth bolta hai
Thoughful lyrics again...when Gulzar does not become too fanciful, his lyrics seem so descriptive of the cotrariness of real emotions as it is here... "Main kahoon ke yun to dil kahe ke yun nahin/Janti hoon sab magar samajh mein aaye na" or for that matter "saans jo sulagti hai/to aankh jalti hai" . Lata's voice does not sound too great though and it would indeed be interesting to hear a fresh voice singing this song. From the reviews of the film it seems however that the film was pretentious and boring... what a terrible combination!!!
Madhvi, lirycs ke liye shukriya.
Film maine dekhi nahin aur reviews par mai hamesha bahut bhrosa nahin karta isliye mere liye film ke baare me kuchh kahna mumkin nahin hai.
'Jahan Tum Le Chlo' ke baare me hi nahin Gulzar ke saare geeton ke baare me Sanskrit poetics ki jaban me kahoon to ye ki wo 'Ras' ke nahin 'Vakrokti' ke poet hai.
