I simply love this song. It’s just so romantic!!! Revealing your love in the rain – under a single umbrella – and yet not making it look vulgar or using the usual Bollywood techniques to attract front benchers, it’s just too much. Makes you appreciate the movies of the yesteryears where rain doesn’t mean revealing the heroines figure. You could FEEL the love in this song. Of course, it’s not just the actors – you have to appreciate all the people behind the scenes who made this song into a kind of an legend that it became.
Who can ever forget the shot of Nargis and Raj Kapoor standing under the umbrella in the rain? Makes you wish it was you in the rain. I actually loved Nargis more here. With all her expressions and body language, she was simply amazing.
This was a really good movie to watch too. I find that I liked Raj Kapoor’s movies in the black n white era – more with Nargis. Somehow his later movies were just not to my taste. Of course, most were ahead of it’s time, but… they just fail to impress.
By the way, the three cute kids you see walking on the street in the song are actually Raj Kapoors kids – Randhir, Ritu and Rishi Kapoor.
