.. the actor is charming for some reason... 😃I love these videos, where one person sings like a normal person, the other is watching them mostly, like a normal person 😛

The actress too, nice faces although the view is blurry/unclear :)

Loved this singing too, I am going to make a playlist on this type of singing lol..

Lata's rendition was nice too in her own style :) ..but the original is what it is ❤️

Meri aankhon mein bas gaya koi re - Barsaat (1949)

Shankar Jaikishen's first musical contribution to RK films, after which they were firmly entrenched in the RK camp along with Shailendra and Mukesh. Brilliant music though. Every song in this movie is a gem (except Patli kamar hai that I'm not partial to). Nargis emotes the wonder of a new-found love as Lata oh-so-sweetly lends her voice to Hasrat Jaipuri's lyrics. This movie was also the newly established RK banner's first certified hit and gave them the iconic RK logo.

The actor is Karan Dewan and the actress is SwarnaLata. This movie also has another famous song - O Jane Wale Baalamwa (parodied by Kishore Kumar, I think in Half-ticket 😆) I totally appreciate your commenting on each song I post! 😳

Jaane kaise sapnon mein kho gayi ankhiyaan - Anuradha (1960)

Pandit Ravi Shankar's music is sublime as is the rendering by Lata Mangeshkar, Shailendra provides the simplistic lyrics as only he can, Leela Naidu is gorgeous and Balraj Sahni is suitably smitten. Awesome stuff! I understand from research that this song is based on raag Tilak Shyam.

Listened to O Jaane Wale, is that a dance form or drama, LB?😃 The performance especially by the man was so good lol.

Which one from Half Ticket, "aake ssedhi lagi dil pe" ??:)

Dheere se aaja ri ankhiyan mein - Albela (1952)

In a movie that had mostly hit swing numbers like Shaam dhale, Shola jo bhadke and Bholi soorat, this lori stands out because of its simple, flowing tune and the way Lataji sings it. C. Ramchandra's music was ably supported by Rajinder Krishan's lyrics.

Beaaauuutiful :)

LB, the chorus and the ups and downs of tune in this song reminded me of another beautiful Telugu song :)

I can't recall the movie, but KK sings the same song in that comical andaaz of his, slightly exaggerating the 40s mannerisms. 😆 I think it was Half-ticket, cos he just keeps doing crazy stuff in that movie. But I will have to do some research to confirm.

ETA: It was Padosan.. watch the clip from 12:08 onwards 🤣

Barsaat is worth watching - it's about the many aspects of love, showing the contrast between two friends - RK and PremNath, one who loves like his heart is breaking, and the other who breaks hearts. It exposes the dichotomy of the human mind - sometimes making you wonder if these 2 characters aren't the dark and light side of the same personality. The RK logo with the woman swooning in the man's arms, with him holding the violin comes from Barsaat.
