My favourite rain song will have to be "Tip tip barsa pani"
from the film "Mohra". I like the lyrics and the ambience
created by the tune. |

I'll choose one of my own songs. It will have
to be "Rama rama gazab" from "Naya Zamana".
It was a scene where this rich girl gets in a folk costume and sings
and dances in the rain with the folks in the basti. I loved the
simplicity and grace of the moment. And it was filmed with great
dignity.. |

"Pyar hua iqraar hua" from "Sri 420". It contains
the iconic image of Nargis singing to Raj Kapoor with her entire
soul embodied under the umbrella as the three little kids (actually,
Raj Kapoor's real-life children) pass by. |

"Pyar hua iqraar hua" in "Sri
420" had an unforgettable melody by Shankar-Jaikishan, truly
sensuous sung by Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar and great chemistry
between Raj Kapoor and Nargis. I also love my own "Geela
geela pani" from "Satya". Lataji's voice, Vishal
Bharadwaj's composition and Gulzar saab's lyrics soak you in ravishing
rain even if you are perched in a parched desert.

"Rimjhim ke geet saawan gaye" by Lataji and Mohammad Rafi
saab in "Anjana" and my own "Tip tip barsa pani"
from "Mohra", for different reasons - first one because
it's the height of romance and the other because it's very seductive. |

"Tip tip barsa pani" from "Mohra",
I had loved it on the audio. I loved it even more when I saw it
on screen featuring Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon. |

It would have to be "Kaate nahin kat-te yeh din yeh raat"
from "Mr. India". It had Sridevi in a wet blue chiffon
sari at her sensuous best. She projected the quintessential Indian
woman. Simply super! |
Rahul
Bose
Sridevi in "Kate nahin kat-te yeh din
yeh raat" gave an entirely new definition to the 'blue wet
Indian clingy sari' trick. She was in splendid form. Pure magic.
And the rains did the rest.

"Ab ke sawan" by Shubha Mudgal. It has amazing energy.
And it immediately makes me want to get wet and wild in the rain.
"Lagi aaj sawan ki phir vo jhadi hai" in "Chandni"
when the rain makes me mellow moody and romantic. |
Sammir
Dattani
I've three favourite rain songs from three
eras. I love "Tip tip baarish shuroo ho gayi" from "Afsana
Pyar Ka". As kids we all loved to get wet and sing this number
because it was so easy to sing. My second favourite is "Lagi
aaj sawan ki Phir vo jhadi hai" from "Chandni". It's
filled with romance and nostalgia and Sridevi was so dignified in
the rain. Finally, my new favourite rain song is "Barso re
megha" from "Guru". For one reason only - Aishwarya
Rai. |
