Pehla nasha…


Song: Pehla nasha…
Movie: Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992)
Singers: Udit Narayan & Sadhana
Music: Jatin-Lalit
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri
Picturised on: Amir Khan & Ayesha Jhulka

Chahe tum kuch na kaho, maine sunliya
Ke saathi pyaar ka mujhe chun liya
Chun liya, maine sun liya

Pehla nasha, pehla khumaar
Naya pyaar hai naya intezaar
Karlu main kya apna haal aye dil-e-bekaraar
Mere dil-e-bekaraar tu hi batha
Pehla nasha, pehla khumaar

Udtha hi phiru in hawao me kahi
Ya main jhool jau in ghatao me kahi
Ek kardo aasma aur zameen
Kaho yaaro kya karu kya nahi
Pehla nasha pehla khumaar

Usne baat ki kuch ayesi dhang se
Sapne de gaya who hazaaro rang ke
Rehjau jaise main haar ke
Aur choome who mujhe pyar se
Pehla nasha…


This song comes in the top ten most romantic hindi songs ever. Its so beautifully simple. It sort of makes me float in the air every time I listen to this song. Funny may be but true. Sadhna sounds sooo good. I still feel she hasn’t gotten her due in the industry. This movie catapulted many into the limelight – Farah Khan, Jatin-Lalit, Ayesha, Udit Narayan and others. This movie was also important to Amir Khan as it was his next big hit after Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. It proved he wasn’t just a flash in the pan. I esp. loved Ayesha’s character ‘cause it was so real in the real sense. This is truly her best picture and I cant really think of anyone else doing it. Farah ended up doing the choreography when Saroj Khan, whom she was working under, walked off the sets. The song was a kind of landmark in several aspects. The whole song was picturised in slow motion, which worked just great. Pooja Bedi does a Marilyn Monroe in the song. Who can forget her red dress flying up on top of the car? It seems she really couldn’t dance so Farah fed up is said to have quoted –lets make the dress dance!
