44 years for the release of the romantic Hindi movie, “Ankhiyon
Ke Jharokhon Se". Rajshri
Films decided to adapt this into a movie which was based on the bestselling
novel "Love Story" by Erich Segal. The above adage “Love Means Never Having To Say You’re Sorry” has been well said by the author Erich Segal in
his enduring classic. It was writer Vrajendra Gaur who adapted this English
novel and Indianised this into a Romantic Hindi movie.
Today's generation of songs bore listeners
after a week of their production whereas some songs like this romantic title
song (“Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se") has
been soothing the ears of music lover’s for over three decades of its release.
The song (“Ankhiyon
Ke Jharokhon Se") became so popular that only a music director like
Ravindra Jain who is visually impaired can truly appreciate and write such
prolific lyrics. Mr. Jain who composed music and wrote songs for this movie was
nominated for Filmfare Awards in two categories as the Best Lyricist (for title
song) and Best Music Director. Hemlata has lent her voice
to this song.
The song has been cast on Ranjeeta Kaur (Lily Fernandes) and Sachin (Arun) when both are seen going on
a long drive in the red colour car only to witness the delicate merger of these
two souls and are seen later romancing in the garden.
The plot talks of a beautiful love story between
Arun who happens to be rich and son of a Barrister which also brings in bloated
ego in his personality. Lily on the other hand is a girl coming from a modest
family living with limited resources. A day comes when Lily tops the class in
her terminal examination and this hurts Arun’s ego as he was always the topper
and for now stands second in the class.
With
actor Sachin Pilgaonkar
As they say not all love stories have that perfect
ending and many times the feeling of losing your loved one’s makes the partner
insecure or apprehensive. It’s clearly seen in these lines penned by Ravindra
Jain and the profound impact one experiences when it relates to the matters of
the heart.
Mein Jab Se Tere Pyar Ke Rangon Mein Rangi
Hoon
(Since when I am coloured in colour of your
love)
Jaagte Hue Soi Nahin Neendon Mein Jagi Hoon
(I cannot sleep and wake up while asleep)
Mere Pyar Bhare Sapne Kahin Koi Na Cheen Le
(that someone may snatch my lovely dreams)
Man Soch Ke Ghabraye Yahi Soch Ke Ghabraye
(my heart shudders at this thought)
Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se Maine Dekha Jo
Saanware
(from the window of my eyes, when I saw, O
dear one)
Tum Dhoor Nazar Aaye Badi Dhoor Nazar Aaye
(I saw you far, I saw you very far)
Band Karke Jharokhon Ko Zara Baithee Jo Sochne
(when I closed windows of my eyes and sat
thinking)
Man Mein Tumhi Muskaye Man Mein Tumhi Muskaye
(I saw you smiling in my heart, I saw you
smiling)
Lily sings this song while narrating her heart's
condition to Arun. Lyrics by Ravindra Jain state their condition in which
though they might not be able to see each other through open eyes, but when
they shut their eyes they find each other very close to their heart. With
passage of time Lily's health deteriorates and she dies in Arun's arms as she
made Arun promise her to rise in life so that she would be at peace.
While today actor Sachin recently completed 50
years in the Indian Film Industry whereas actress Ranjeeta today stays with her
husband Raj Masand and son Sky in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. They own a series of
7-Eleven stores in Virginia. Ravindra Jain the music director and lyricist
whose name conjures music even today.
Words
have power which can make an individual move not only on a mental level but
emotional level as well. The lyrics of Ravindra Jain have been no exception.
