Abdul offering people a tel maalish in Pyaasa

Johnny walker is a breath of fresh air in the melancholic tale by Guru Dutt. the moment he appears on screen, the heavy weight on one’s chest is replaced by a few light hearted chuckle. comedy came naturally to him, without fail, he’d hit all the punch lines to retrieve the right amount of laughter from his audience. “Sir jo tera Chakraye” is a memorable number for children and adults alike. In the middle of the chaos that unravels around Vijay, Abdul nudges it away for the viewers with a song about head massage. Rafi sahab’s command over his voice for different songs is commendable. he gives all that he can, so aptly, as if he’s also playing the character. you cannot separate his voice from Abdul here.

For the music asks:

A song that reminds you of your childhood

A song to listen to whilst you lie in a meadow

A song that you like that the lyrics are just so beautiful they’re practically poetry

A song that reminds you of your childhood

And

Because I'm a basic bitch like that✨

A song to listen to whilst you lie in a meadow

Or

A song that you like that the lyrics are just so beautiful they're practically poetry

Or

Or

The small verse before Jane Kya Tune Kahi from Pyaasa. It goes like:

Phir na kije meri gustakh nigaho ka gila, dekhiye... Aap ne pyaar se dekha mujhko...

Which is actually a verse from the song (of the same title) from Phir Subah Hogi (1958)... I'm actually curious about how the same verse ended up in both movies. Jane Kya Tune Kahi has Sahir in the lyricist section while the song in Phir Subah Hogi has it as Khayyam saab.

People, admit me to @kaagazkefool and tell them I'm one more google search away from:

(although maybe they just kept that one verse from Khayyam's urdu shayri as a meta signal.... And the rest of the song was written by Sahir)

Anyway.... Bro thanks for the ask. If you hadn't asked I wouldn't have unlocked this level in bnw indian cinema✨🥹

Remembering the unforgettable Rehman, on his 39th death anniversary (05/11/84). Rehman was a talented actor who played many roles but didn't get the recognition he deserved. Some people think it's because of fate or bad luck. He worked in the Hindi movie industry and was really good at acting in a way that felt natural and captured people's attention, but he still didn't get enough praise. Looking back at old Hindi movies, you'll see Rehman in many popular films. His acting made a big difference in movies like “Chaudhvin ka Chand”, “Pyaasa”, "Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam", “Dharmputra”, “Ghazal”, “Dil Diya Dard Liya”, “Ye Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke”, "Waqt”, and “Intaqaam”. These movies were loved by many people, and Rehman's varied roles made them even better. Rehman's acting is something we might not always think about, but it's so special that once we do remember it, we can't forget how good it was.
