Debut Movie of Shankar-Jaikishan BARSAAT (Review)

In-depth Review of Barsaat (Debut Movie of Shankar-Jaikishan)/ संगीतकार के रूप में शंकर-जयकिशन की पहली फिल्म, राजकपूर द्वारा निर्मित 'बरसात' का रिव्यू
Title Music
Barsaat, as all RK Films, starts with Prithviraj Kapoor performing Shiv poojan & chanting the mantras.
Before appearance of titles, there is a brief shot of rain clouds with gentle beat of drum (dhol) and violins. The titles start scrolling on screen with the immortal tune & interlude of the song ‘Barsaat mein hamse mile tum…’ based on raag Bhairavi.
Is the title music just there for the sake of being there? Well! It speaks volumes. In the same tune, one gets to listen to various shades of the raga Bhairavi. Initially it transforms the audience into a mood of celebration but as the violins suddenly take a U-turn, the audience’s mood is transformed to that of pathos.
And with this introductory MAGIC (music), among others, history is written - as two names appear on the screen for the first time as Music Directors - SHANKAR-JAIKISHAN (S-J).
The title music itself raises one’s expectations from S-J. And did S-J fulfill them!? Well! No point in elaborating it! The HFM lovers across the globe still don’t miss any opportunity to listen to the score even if they have already done so thousands of times.
