[raagadevan]

A romantic and sentimental duet sung passionately by Mohammad Rafi and Suman Kalyanpur
for Biswajit and Saira Banu in the movie APRIL FOOL. Lyrics were by Hasrat Jaipuri.

Rafi proves why he is considered one of the greatest singers ever; and Suman Kalyanpur proves
that she could sing as good or even better than Lata Mangeshkar, given the right opportunity.
Here it is:



Veda copied the tune for this gem of a duet in the Tamil movie IRU VALLAVARGAL.
TMS and P. Susheela at their best, singing for Jaishankar and L. Vijayalakshmi.
A pleasing, teasing, romantic duet.

பொன் வண்டொன்று மலரென்று முகத்தோடு மோத
நான் வளை கொண்ட கையாலே மெதுவாக மூட
என் கருங்கூந்தல் கலைந்தோடி மேகங்களாக
நான் பயந்தோடி வந்தேன் உன்னிடம் உண்மை கூற...

WOW!! What an imagination! When you listen to those lines, you would never feel that
they were written to match an already composed tune of a famous song in another language!
Now we know why there was and there will always be only one Kaviyarasu;
the one and only Kannadasan!
