There is a saying that ‘love makes someone blind’. What if a blind man falls in love? How can love be depicted through his blind eyes? The song ‘Apni Aankhon Mein Basakar‘ illustrates the truth that love has only one constraint- it should be between two devoted souls. If there is a devoted soul to understand the feel of love, you need not have the eyes to see the beauty of it, nor do you need the words to express the feelings of your heart. (more…)

Reviewing a melody like this is a real treat amidst the candy pop that is getting passed off as music in today’s films. Unfortunately that seems to be the norm with most of the Hindi film music composers. This makes one reminiscent of the golden era that Bollywood went through. The song – Yeh dil nahin hai jiske sahare jeete hain from the movie Aabroo is a great example of the magic that music makers of the yesteryears have woven. (more…)
