![]() Today, I’ve translated an all-time classic rain song from the film Parakh (1960) directed by Bimal Roy (he won his third Filmfare Award for Best Director for this film!): “o sajna barkhaa bahaar aayii”. ![]() From “ pyaar hua iqraar hua” in Shree 420 (1955) to “ ghanan ghanan ghir aayii badra” in Lagaan (2001), fans of Hindi cinema have been treated to a number of beautiful gems about the rain over the years. Rain songs have always held a special place in Bollywood cinema. Because she plays the role of a village girl here, she was instructed to get rid of the characteristic "fringe" hairstyle seen in her later movies in order to avoid looking too glamorous! Sadhana wistfully enjoys the rain in "o sajna barkhaa bahaar aayii" from Parakh (1960).
