Yeh shaam Mastani - romance, melancholy and music

Aradhana was two years old and Shakti Samanta teamed up yet again with Rajesh Khanna for the 1971 blockbuster Kati Patang. The songs of Aradhana had established Kishore Kumar as the irreplacable voice of Rajesh Khanna. But there was a new team in the making. R.D.Burman made an entry into this Shakti-Rajesh-Kishore team, replacing his father S.D.Burman, whose runaway hits made Aradhana a musical blockbuster and brought Kishore Kumar permanently into limelight.
The song Yeh shaam mastani carries many emotions at the same time – the melancholic, the romantic, the energetic, besides being very poetic. Each and every part of the song became a permanent part of a music lover's memory - be it the prelude, the interludes, the yoodles or whistles. As a high-spirited Rajesh Khanna seranades a not-so-high-spirited Asha Parekh, many hearts swooned over and over again. Even today, sitting in a calm, cool breezy evening evokes only one line in our minds – Yeh shaam mastani.....
