Rain Song 4:
But when it comes to how it all began? How did rain songs became such a huge draw in Hindi movies, we probably have this one song to blame. It set such a high benchmark. A cuppa offered even if on credit, leading to blabbering of long felt intentions and some ensuing turmoil. Just when the coy heroine could run away and hide, torrential rain pouring in sheets of relentless fury and one umbrella to share. The rain comes and traps them in a little island of forced togetherness. There is no looking back. All the pent up emotions come flowing out. Promises are made in the new found courage. Plans are made for posterity. A truly epic rain song sung exquisitely by Lata and Manna Dey. Shankar Jaikishan gave it that funfilled whistle kinda tune and Shailendra's lyrics are timeless. Raj Kapoor and Nargis pump life into it. One of the best shot rain songs still. Notice the misty gusts of rain lashed winds. Magic in black and white. Now is there any doubt why we are a rain obsessed nation?
