MUSICAL MUSINGS -2- MY SINGING EXPERIENCE: KITNA PYARA WADA HAI - MOVIE CARAVAN (1971)

Whenever I hear mesmerizing old Hindi melodies, sweet reminiscences of the time I spent with my father after every dinner, swell inside me. Very much like me, my father also preferred silence when great songs were being played from the radio. That way, we could sit for hours with silence between us, when good songs were emanating from a radio or a cassette player.

He was a great admirer of Rafi Saab. In some songs Rafi Saab generated a special magical effect with his voice and his way of singing. Of course every singer has a signature, but in his case it was like a honey dripping effect in some songs. These songs could be simple from a singer's perspective but the magical effect seems to be more in these.


One such number is Kitna Pyaara Waadha from the movie Caravan (1971 film)

Its plot was loosely inspired by the 1953 film 'Girl on the Run', a little-known crime drama set against the backdrop of a carnival parody show, which was modified to a gypsy show in Caravan.

Jitendraji's dance stands out. It's not for the technical aspects of the dance but for the natural grace and élan that he brings in.

Here's my humble attempt of the song along with Shalini Gupta. I have tried my best to be me.
