But they stay only in first two lines of each of stanzas. And with first stanza tabla enters for the first time in the song. It is followed by 12 string guitar then violins and again 3 guitar strums. His eyes so cravingly tries to search her extremely loving mother in this quite unfriendly ‘auntie’ too! (Meri maa bhi aisi phoolonwaali saari pahenti thi.) Pancham’s vibraphone sound comes as if like an intuition which makes DK to turn where this boy is standing alone. It startles you till deep to see that little boy staring it silently who has lost her mother and who is seeking like anything for a motherly warmth.
At the same time, Shekhar Kapur has made that poor boy open the door and see a mother showering all her love on her daughters. In first interlude, flute sounds both calming and then haunting. Everything is so soft and low including those violins swaying behind Aarti Mukherjee’s voice. Guitar here builds rhythm so beautifully that you never miss them either. It actually lets lyrics and strings flourish at their best.
May be for this reason, Pancham has avoided using percussion much. This is after all a Lori sung by a hurt and pained mother for her innocent daughters. Right from there, guitar enters and stays till the end to keep the cords of your senses vibrated with each of its codes. Aarti Mukherjee’s voice is piercing straight in first five words as if she is crying her heart out on behalf of Shabana. No rain is to show but how brilliantly it portrays a rainy night! The season in Malhotras’ house is the gloomy monsoon nowadays. If you would notice, the song starts with some fainted sounds of grasshoppers besides Aarti Mukherjee’s intense voice. Otherwise tell me, how, how could we get such an eternal classic? Even if at one moment you stop listening it, its pathos stay with you unfailingly wherever you go and whatever you do as your inner most core absorbs all those unsheded tears dripping from the lyrics and music and makes your heart feel heavy. And in my opinion, no other in the world could understand Gulzar’s poetry better than Pancham.
Who sang naina thag lenge movie#
Also, all the characters- right from little Mini to Saeed Jafri have contributed greatly with their exquisite performances to make this movie an ultimate classic. He never needed any Bandit Queen or Elizabeth to prove his magnificence after making ‘Masoom’. Just like Pancham and Gulzar, Shekhar Kapur – in his directorial debut – has done so incredible job that no other can do. Or be it masoom Rahul’s (Jugal Hansraj) sobs or silence. Be it Indu’s (Shabana Azmi) love or grief.
Be it DK’s (Naseeruddin Shah) past or their future. Something held and something revealed or released. Masoom is all about thoda sa baadal and thoda sa paani. Be it Maheke hue se raaz or as Masoom depicts, thoda sa baadal, thoda sa paani, aur ek kahani. But it can also happen like ek aankh roye kabhi dooji aakkh roye!! Eyes can hold anything or everything according to their own wish. It generally happens like “do naino mein aansoo bhare hai”. Or even different at different times.!! As sometimes it’s feel like Jhoothe naina bole saachi batiyaan and sometimes, naino ki mat suniyo.naina thag lenge!! As Gulzar says, also eyes can behave like anything – as a pair or as individuals. The one being spoken by mouth or the one being released by eyes. So, ultimately it is up to you that what language you would rely on. They don’t care to carry all those instructions which your ‘wiser’ brain keeps giving. The wizard of words – Gulzar, so obviously believes that eyes not only have their own language but also have their own soul and singnificance.
