Song 60:
That way Kishore and Geeta Dutt did not get to sing too many songs together. The reason maybe that Geeta Dutt was a regular of S D Burman camp and he always favoured Rafi or Hemant Kumar with her. But it is amazing how Kishore, the buffoon that he was in terms of acting, brought out a very wild side of Geeta Dutt. This song is a case in point. In fact she sounds a lot like Asha Bhosle in this song. I had to listen to it almost thrice to ensure it was indeed Geeta. It is typically a madcap song. It's utter nonsense and gibberish. But it happens at times, when you've been through the whole gamut of emotions, you've dug so deep into your heart time and time again, sometimes you just draw a blank.
There is nothing much to say. It may be an emotional bankruptcy of sorts. You've been there, done that, said it all, quarrelled, made up a hundred times, been jealous, dealt with it, almost killed each other with anger and then cooled down. Then you can only turn to the comical in relationships. Everything is funny. Often in long term relationships the very qualities that attracted you in the other person in the first place start irritating you. Everything is ironical! Then love is expressed as a threat, a warning and almost as a sock across the face. The bond almost like a lasso around the neck! It's almost like where once you said, " Miss ya love!" now you say "Miss me Ok!"
But it's a song that you can't help laughing when you watch it. Kishore Kumar is going totally crazy and reminds me of a horse who's had some rum and is going a little out of control. But he was so spontaneous and natural in his comic timing and Madhubala more than matches up, nicely manoeuvring him with a noose around his neck. The secret behind that unmatchable control is that she was actually married to him when they shot this movie! HA HA HA
The power of a controlling woman! Enjoy!! :)
