The song I m talking about here is title track from the movie Rajnigandha. Under the direction of Basu Chatterjee , movie was released in 1974 and is a very first-class prologue to the ‘new story’ cinema that was popular in 70s. Movie got film fare award in 1975.Music of movie, directed by Salil Chaudhary, is considered to be exceptionally influencing. Not only the title song but in addition a further song "kai baar yun hi Dekha hai" is fantastic. Outstanding Hindi singer Mukesh got the national film award for that.
Talking about the present song, it seems to be somewhat unusual that you hear a song beginning with a proper name. Also attachment of happy occasion with Rajnigandha flower makes it remarkabely odd song. Rajnigandha or 'raat ki raani'(queen of night), a prominent flower of Indian mythology and culture is native to Mexico. In English it is tuberose flower, the oil of which is used for perfume making. we have it in our house and at night, its smell can be felt from a long distance too.
Great indian singer Lata Mangeshkar sang the lyrics of Yogesh under the music direction of Salil Chowdhury.Check out the smooth flow of lyrics below and tell me your view.
