Mai Shayar To Nahi

Movie : Bobby
Year : 1973
Singer: Shailendra Singh
Music : Laxmikant Pyarelal

Raj Kapoor's, "Bobby" has become one of the pivotal movies of Bollywood cinema. The film's catch phrase was "A Teenager's Love Story" and it was a runaway hit at the box office.
The story of "Bobby" was nothing new. Rich man's son falls in love with a 'fish mongers' daughter and against parental adversity the teenagers prove that 'love conquers all'. What is astounding about this film is the freshness of the performances by the two lead actors, Dimple Kapadia and Rishi Kapoor. There is a compelling magnetism about the naive portrayals of Dimple and Rishi amid the baroque sets and melodramatic histrionics that is hypnotizing.

The song, ‘Main Shaayar to Nahin’ is a melody with character and superiorly crafted. Treated grandly with slow violins, powerful guitar refrains, and innumerable emotional flourishes and set to a waltzish tempo, this number wins with its enchanting tune and lyrics. Shailendra Singh renders admirably.

Here I present this for your ears with the hope that you will enjoy this as much as my earlier renditions.
