Today woke up early and on Zee Classic got to see Sujata again..
The film is a classic and has been discussed but I just wanted to mention the music by Sachin Dev Burman.
The film starts with some melodious title music..(when heard properly one realises that it was an inspiration for
Aap Ke Kamre Main Koi Rehta Hain..Trust Pancham to develop such a tune from a title music strip by his father.)
The melodious music, with S D Burman at his best. All time classics like the favourite lullaby by Geeta Dutt (Nanhi kali sone chali Hawa Dheere se Aana ), One piano song by Asha ji and Geeta ji (Tum jiyo hazaaron saal, which could also qualify as my favourite birthday song!) Filmed on Cukkoo and Shashikala with Nutan in the backy. The all time favourite telephone song by Talat Mahmood saab(Jalte hain jiske liye). Sublime indeed
The monsoon song Kaali Ghata Chhai ( Asha Bhosle in a chirpy mood )..
Wah Bhai Wah by Rafi Saab
and the nostalgic Bachpan Ke Din Bhi kya din ( Asha Bhosle and Geeta Dutt) on Shashikala and Nutan .
The epic Sun Mere Bandhu Re by Dada Burman himself on the river..
The real beauty of this film is in the languid ease with which Bimal Roy tells this well-textured emotional tale.
He cleverly represents how society treated the lower caste or then called untouchables without making the viewer feel as so he were having a history lesson or watching a documentary and he actually manages to show the film as Sujata's story in her perspective.
The music is totally interwoven with the script joining the film and creates the required aura.
