Do naina Ek Kahaani

Not sure of an all time favorite movie but I think Naseeruddin Shah would be one of my all time best actors...

Just happened to see a program on an old movie that NS acted ages back, a film called Masoom. It was the first movie of Shekar Kapur. NS says in an interview says that Shekar Kapur then was a failed actor and he was a friend who agreed to work on the movie to help him out. But was it a help extended to Shekar or NS helped himself.

Jugal Hansraj in that movie fitted the character so well. His innocent eyes helped him to connect with the audience so easily. One of my favorite songs from the movie just takes off showing his pair of eyes. The lyrics and the song was a big hit. I think Gulzar and RD Burman together as a pair was the nicest thing to happen to Hindi cinema.

Check out the song on youtube and I think you`ll agree

Do nainaa aaur yek kahaanee

thodaa saa baadal

thodaa saa paanee

aaur yek kahaanee


chhotee see do zeelon mein

wo bahatee rahatee hai

koee sune yaa naa sune

kahatee rahatee hai

kuchh likh ke aaur kuchh jubaanee


thodee sai hain jaanee huyee

thodee see nayee

jahaa ruke aansoo

wahee pooree ho gayee

hai to nayee fir bhee hain puraanee


yek khatm ho to

doosaree yaad aa jaatee hai

hothhon pe fir bhoolee huyee

baat aa jaatee hai

do nainon kee hain ye kahaanee
