AAIIYE MEHERBAAN

Song 2 : 6 Mar 2013


If Geeta Dutt had that delicious Bengali lilt, Asha Bhosle had an inborn sizzle. These were the voices of the quintessential club crooner. Between the two of them, they belted out quite a few kick-ass club crooner numbers. So how about an Asha-Geeta face-off, what say? I will give you one dazzling song after the other alternately and you decide who was the hotter voice. It is indeed difficult to decide. To start with Asha Bhonsle club crooner/dancing diva songs, what better song to kick start the process than this whopper of a number. I am sure there isn't any person who hasn't been stirred by this one ever. Madhubala at her vivacious, sultry best. And Asha Bhonsle was just the voice for those sirens, those with the satiny sensuality, come hither smiles and darting glances. The music is by O P Nayyar who was responsible for giving Asha that individuality in terms of singing style, and lyrics are by Qamar Jalalabadi. We see a lot of pretty young girls vie for the numero uno position but must say rare to see this grace and charm anywhere today....
