This song features Rimjhim Sawan, Bombay.
Hindi films haven't been studied in isolation. Until the 1970s and 1980s, the majority of films made were in the cities we live in. Old pictures of cities, from running scenes to songs, thrill me. I sometimes feel the urge to go out and find these roads or cities. Want to know how Mumbai's VT Station has evolved in ten different films. Marine Drive in various films.
Rimjhim Gire sawan is my favorite song. The video is always on my computer. This song should be played on YouTube by everyone. It is possible to see the openness and freedom of Bombay, before Mumbai. Amitabh Mausami and Amitabh running on the road while wet are visible. They are so large that they automatically bring the sky into the picture. A one-storey building built along the side is visible. Look at Amitabh running with Mausami on Marine Drive. Both of them are in the water. Less vehicles are on the road. Traffic is not a problem. You cannot film the same song in the same place today. Three to four-storey buildings can be seen when both pass through the park.
The clouds also rained earlier in this way. Aanchal was also soaked earlier. My love, why is it going to rain this time? It will make my heart burn. Camera captures wet mud in the park. Their slippers and shoes are both covered in mud. The weather has been confused this time, as Sawan burns. After seeing water on the road, the song continues. The camera moves away. A Lambretta then appears in the picture. He is wearing a raincoat in white. The driver is not concerned about the accumulated water on the road. Amitabh, Mausami and VT Station cross the road near VT station. There is light rain. It is a crowd but there are no people. There are people crossing the street with umbrellas. The skies of VT seem open. The skies above the roundabout statue seem empty. There don't seem to be many tall buildings in the city. Even after rain, the speed of the black pali taxi was fine. No traffic jam. There are no traffic jams. The picture is of an active city. As they sit down on the bench at Marine Drive, workers walk by with their bags on their backs. After hitting Marine Drive's walls, the waves start to rise.
Every day, this song is playing in my head. The city is always visible when it's playing. We are now afraid of the rain. We don't want to get wet. Our children are not allowed to play in the mud. Everywhere we have alienated the soil. The people are migrants. Village to city and back again. Cities change like vests. Mumbai was forming in my mind through these images, even though I had never seen it. I often feel like running with someone and holding their hand in the rain. When the papers I have in my pockets get wet, like Amitabh, I toss them out and hold Mausami’s hand. This song is what I sing for long distances and for many years. Let the mud from my shoes splash onto my face. I kicked the ads for Dettol soap and Rin. Now, wet clothes and dirty clothing are not shown on the screen. All is clearly visible....Read More
