THESE BEAUTIFUL INTERLUDES OF SITAR WERE PLAYED BY USTAD RAIS KHAN SAHAB WHO,HAS WORKED WITH MOSTLY ALL OF THE MUSIC DIRECTORS OF HIS TIMES AND PLAYED BACKGROUND MUSIC FOR NUMEROUS MOVIES AND COMPOSED NUMEROUS MOVIE SONGS(FOR MANY MUSIC DIRECTORS FOR WHICH HE NEVER TOOK ANY CREDITS).INFACT WHEN LAXMIKANT & PYARELAALJI GOT STRUCK IN (SHATYAM SHIVAM SUNDERAM) ON A PARTICULAR SCENE WHERE ZEENAT AMAAN WALKS TO THE WATERFALL TO MEET SHASHI KAPOOR IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS,HE REQUESTED KHAN SAHAB TO PLAY THE BACKGROUND MUSIC FOR THAT SCENE WHO,PROMTLY CAME TO THEIR RESCUE.THE FIRST AND THE THIRD LAST SONG WAS COMPOSED BY KALYANJI & ANANDJI AND THE SONG (SAJANWA BAIRI HO GAYE HAMAAR) FROM "TEESRI KASAM" WAS COMPOSED BY SHANKAR & JAIKISHANJI AND THE LAST TWO ARE FROM "GANGA JAMUNA" AND "PAKEEZA" (TITLE & BACKGROUND MUSIC) COMPOSED BY NAUSHAD SAHAB,REST ALL THE REMAINING SONGS WERE COMPOSED BY ONE OF THE GREATEST BUT LESS FORTUNATE MUSIC DIRECTORS OF HIS ERA "MADAN MOHANJI" CAN YOU BELEIVE THAT AFTER 30 YEARS OF HIS DEATH HIS COMPOSITIONS WON HIM A NATIONAL AWARD?(VEER ZAARA) HATS OFF TO HIM AND HIS TALENT,THEIR PARTNERSHIP WAS LIKE BREAD & BUTTER,INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY GAINED A LOT FROM IT,BOTH SEEMED INCOMPLETE WITHOUT EACH OTHER AND ABOVE ALL ADD LATAJI TO IT AND THAT`S WHAT ONE CALLS A MAGIC!!!.I SOMETIMES FEEL THAT MADANJI ONLY COMPOSED THESE SONGS TO PROMOTE USTAD RAIS KHAN AND LATAJI`S TALENT RATHER THEN TO SHOW CAUSE HIS OWN,OFF COURSE THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION NOT TO HURT ANYONE`S THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS WHAT SO EVER,I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THESE COMPLIATION VERY MUCH THANKS.
