This is a gem of a song. Had totally forgotten it!

By the way this reminded me of another Bhupen Hazarika classic O Gonga tumi. Another favourite of mine

This angelic man has such a beautiful voice. Privileged are those who have heard him, blessed are those who have appreciated him, and in pure ecstasy are those few who can proudly tell their kids, and they in turn tell their children, that yes, we heard his Ganga song!

Lavani has been a popular folk music form of Maharashtra and it reflects in the movies and songs.

Lavani was originally performed to entertain the soldiers. The song is usually performed by womenfolk and it conveys information pertaining to society and politics. Lavani is further divided into two types – Nirguni Lavani and Shringari Lavani.

Nirguni Lavani is usually philosophical in nature, and also includes small skits that are mythological tales, most of the times, based on Mahabharata and Shri Krishna. Shringari Lavani is sensual and often deals with erotic subject matter that often induces laughter among its listeners. This musical form is also classified based on its listeners. If Lavani is performed in close quarters by a young girl for a set of dignitaries, it is called Baithakichi Lavani. If it is performed in public in front of a large audience, it is called Phadachi Lavani.

This Lavani Disla Ga Bai Disla is from V Shantaram directorial Pinjara (1972) that was tragic story of a morally righteous school teacher played by Dr Sriram Lagoo, who wants to reform a tamasha performer played by Sandhya, but ends up falling for her and loses his reputation. Ram Kadam's music, Jagdish Khebudkar's lyrics and Sandhya's stellar dance performances ensured that there was not even a single dull song in the movie.

It is a bit difficult to decide, which is better, Pinjara the movie or Pinjara the soundtrack. I think Pinjara's soundtrack is better then Pinjara the movie. TFS.

I have no idea why V.Shantaram preferred sandhya for this role.

Here is a wonderful, melodious, sweet Varhadi Lokgeet
