What a beautiful song—a real masterpiece. A visual treat watching Vyjayanthimala and Sunil Dutt.
What can be said about Lata Mangeshkar's talent for making the music and lyrics come to life?

Thank you, Priya for correcting me. 🤗Originally posted by: LizzieBennet
Madhu, looks like you've put down someone else instead of Shankar-Jaikishen as MD for this song - Hawa mein udta jaye 😳
A few more details--
The music of Barsaat became famous upon the film's release in 1949. The film was the debut for music directors Shankar Jaikishan and established their careers. The famous playback singer Lata Mangeshkar famously sang for both Nargis and Nimmi in Barsaat.
Actress Bimla Kumari appears swaying in the song 'Hawa mein udta jaaye', the song become very popular as well.
The soundtrack was listed by Planet Bollywood at number 1 on their list of the 100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks
The lyricist of this song -- Ramesh Shastri
Because of this--- I was confused 😕
Yes I saw this too, and realized the YT channel has it wrong as well! 😆Originally posted by: Viswasruti

Ramanand Sagar wrote the movie, but the songs were 100% SJ. Strange how they used so many lyricists for their first venture before going on to form a team with Hasrat and Shailendra!
This movie was Vyjayanthimala's magnum opus and she put her entire heart and soul into it - as is evident especially in Gopi Krishna's dances. Unfortunately it did not work at the BO & it is rumored that the disappointment hastened Vyjayanthimala's retirement from Hindi films.Originally posted by: Viswasruti

Though all her movies are masterpieces, this one is her magnum opus as you rightly mentioned. ❤️⭐️❤️⭐️❤️Originally posted by: LizzieBennet

Vyjayanthimala came from a more theatrical acting tradition, centered on an exploration of rasa and bhava, and often seemed to be of another world, well-suited to play the voluptuous apsara in a celestial court!!
In Lekh Tandon’s 1966 Amrapali, where the eponymous actor is a performer, dancing for the pleasure of others as well as for self-expression.... it accounts for the power of scenes such as the spectacular dance challenge that ends with Amrapali being anointed nagarvadhu, or royal courtesan.
Based on a nearly 2,500-year-old legend, this is one of our better-looking period films, [ next best one for me is Jodha Akbar] an attempt to achieve something both grand and intimate, like some of the Hollywood epics of the time. It has something else in common with films like The Robe (1953) and Ben-Hur (1959): a cameo by a venerated religious figure. If the protagonists of those movies had life-changing encounters with Christ (never seen directly), Amrapali features a shadowy appearance by the Buddha. But here’s something funny: Though this film culminates in a major character renouncing the world to follow the Enlightened One, it understands the pleasures of the flesh very well!!
Whatever, I want to see this movie today! Will watch it after this cricket match.

I agree with you, Raji. We are drawn to the numerous on- and off-screen bodies working to create the song-and-dance number, the lyrics, the background music, and the singer's added melody by watching certain dance numbers of famous dancer-actresses, in which a desired dance vocabulary precedes and influences the conceptualization of the song in those days.Originally posted by: Savera84

Vyjayanthimala is one of them. She is a gifted dancer.
Cheers..
The two Bharatanatyam-trained stars in the 1950s and 1960s, Vyjayanthimala and Waheeda Rehman, brought changes in film dance alongside the canonization of specific classical and folk dance forms, which they learned from the Sangeet Natak Akademi.
Waheeda and Vyjayanthimala’s most ambitious film numbers speak to their own performative desires as trained dancers!
Love to mention Sandhya , V Santaram's wife who danced in Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje , Navrang and Rajshree, Santharam's daughter, who danced in Geet Gaya Patharon ne , and later Asha Parekh , they too had their glorious moments in the Hindi film world but Waheeda and Vyjayanthimala are a blessing to Hindi cine field, reigning queens of dancing world.
What a graceful movement , as if ... as if a painting is dancing in front of us! 🙏
