Kachha Dhaaga Options

[unni]

A perpetual favourite from among Geeta-ji's renditions, from "AAR PAAR", picturized on Shakila with Guru Dutt also on-screen.

Unni-ji,
In fact it is an honour to be associated with selfless people like you.
I was too young to see it when it was released, but this song has always given me goosebumps - both the audio and video versions.
Probably one of the greatest movie scenes ever, of what is in my opinion THE greatest Hindi film song of all time.
Perhaps a classic such as this should deserve a higher-fidelity bitrate.
Thanks again

Thanks to 50Some1 ji as well as Mahesh ji. I missed that song as it was not u/l in the Geeta Forum!!!:(

Anyway, I just feel that this HF community is another community for me as I cannot find people to discuss these things which are indeed a part of me.

As for films, I wanted to say Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam is no less than Pyaasa or Kaagaz Ke Phool. In fact let me say this as a Bengali as well as an Indian:-
"Usually movies which have been refilmed in Hindi from the Bengali versions are slightly lesser in appeal to ME (again, personal opinion!!!). The example given are:-
Khamoshi (Waheeda, Rajesh Khanna & Nazir Hussein) as compared to Dweep Jwele Jai (Suchitra Sen, Basanta Chowdhury & Pahari Sanyal). In fact moved by the bengali film, waheeda proposed to Asit Sen that she wanted to make the Hindi version and act in the role of Suchitra Sen. Another example is MAMTA, no doubt this was a good movie but the Bengali version "UTTAR FALGUNI" was simply marvellous. In fact this is a movie that Suchitra herself acted in the main roles (mother & daughter) in both languages, but one can very simply make out the difference in presentation and dialogues and its deliveries!!!.

But I would say two movies so far that I have seen, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam by Guru Dutt and Devdas by Bimal Roy (casting Dilip Kumar, suchitra Sen and Vyjyanthimala) are no doubt as a whole better than the Bengali versions. The passion, the feelings etc. were much well portrayed in the hindi movies. Meena kumari's abilities as an actress are still unparallelled!!! and the genius of Guru Dutt and the dedication and vocation of Guru Dutt team (Abrar Alvi, V.K. Murthy, Rehman etc. etc.)

Just thought I would share these facts.
