From: Ashish Bokil It was Late Night... Moon was at its brightest.. the stars stared at each other in apprehension of a storm that was building up, tension in the air..., hearts beat harder, lips quivered, and intense emotions travelled through a seemingly endless, but a very short in reality, eye contact while silence screamed its presence. The awkwardness of familiarity and yet an unfathomable distance seemed to be unbearable as Suchitra Sen breaks the silence with a stammering ---- " Barson baad ghoomne nikli hoon. Aisaa lagtaa hai jaise kisi aur sadi ki baat ho .... " Delicacy and intricacy are both synonymous with Gulzar. A knack of touching the soft spot in a manner ever so precise and the dexterity in bringing out the confused feelings in a rather clear form is what makes Gulzar an instant choice as a director for handling stories dealing with intricate marital/xtra-marital relationships. The disturbances in his personal life could also be a strong reason why this creater of beautiful verses always chose "devastated marriages" as the principal theme of his movies. His first directorial venture "Aandhi" had such a couple in it and so had had the last one "Lekin" ( Libaas can not be considered as his last directed movie as it had been ready a long time before but couldn't see the daylight until last year ) till now. Aandhi could not be termed as an auspicious beginning as it faced a ban in its first year itself owing to emergency, apparently because its story had glimpses of personal life of the then PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi and gulzar suffered a huge loss both monetarily and imagewise ( as a director of a movie which made losses ). However, this did not reduce the artistic value of this gem which gave the hindi film industry outstanding performances by Sanjeev Kumar and Suchitra Sen, intense poetry and an equally mindblowing music by Rahul Dev Burman. Sitar strums set the atmosphere up... Lataa - Tere binaa zindagi se koi shikwaa to nahee shikwaa nahee .. shikwaa nahee shikwaa nahee tere binaa zindagi bhee lekin zindagi to nahee zindagi nahee.... zindagi nahee zindagi nahee tere binaa zindagi se koi shikwaa to nahee shikwaa nahee ... shikwaa nahee shikwaa nahee ..... Kaash aisaa ho tere kadmon se chun ke manzil chale aur kaheen door kaheen..... kaash aisaa ho mere kadmon se chun ke manzil chale aur kaheen door kaheen tum gar saath ho manzilon ki kamee to nahee tere binaa zindagi se koi shikwaa to nahee shikwaa nahee shikwaa nahee..... shikwaa nahee Sanjeev Kumaar - Suno Arti, ye jo phulon ki belen nazar aati hain na ye darasal arabi main aayaten likhee huyi hain. Inhe din ke waqt dekhna bilkul saaf nazar aati hain. Din ke waqt ye paani se bharaa rahataa hai. Din ke waqt.. ye jo phuwwaare hain..... Suchitra Sen - Kyon din ki baaten kar rahe ho. kahaan aa paaoongi main din ke waqt SK - Ye jo chaand hai na ise raat main dekhnaa... Ye din main nahee nikaltaa SS - ye to roj nikaltaa hogaa SK - haan lekin kabhee kabhee amaawas aa jaati hai. Waise to amaawas 15 dinon ke baad aati hai lekin is baar bahut lambi thhee SS - Nau baras lambi thhee naa.. Sitar takes over as another awkward silence builds up in moments.... Jee me aataa hai tere daaman main sar chhupaa ke hum rote rahen... rote rahen.... Jee me aataa hai tere daaman main sar chhupaa ke hum rote rahen... rote rahen.... teri bhee aaknhon main aansuon ki nami to nahee KK - Tere binaa zindagi se koi shikwaa to nahee shikwaa nahee shikwaa nahee ...... shikwaa nahee tere binaa zindagi bhee lekin zindagi nahee zindagi nahee .......zindagi nahee Tum jo keh do to aajki raat chaand doobegaa nahee raat ko rok lo tum jo keh do to aajki raat chaand doobegaa nahee raat ko rok lo.... raat ki baat hai aur zindagi baaki to nahee tere binaa zindagi se koi shikwaa to nahee shikwaa nahee shikwaa nahee tere binaa zindagi bhee lekin zindagi to nahee zindagi nahee zindagi nahee ......zindagi nahee Tere binaa zindagi se shikwaa......... to nahee...............
