Song: Rajnigandha Phool Tumhare

This is an extremely beautiful song, I can just sit in front of the TV or radio when it comes and just relax and enjoy the melody. It is the title song of the movie called Rajnigandha released in 1974 and directed by Basu Chatterjee. It starred Amol Palekar, Vidya Sinha and Dinesh Thakur in the leading roles. "Rajnigandha" won the Best Picture at the Filmfare Awards in the year 1974, both the Popular Award and the Critics Award.
The song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and music was by Salil Choudhury. The movie was different from the big budget movies that were released around the same time and was about a lady falling in love with a person, and then meeting an old boy-friend who is the direct opposite of her fiancee. She always had a soft corner for him and now has to decide between the two. It is a difficult choice since she had always loved the first one, but he never could get the courage to tell her, and in the end, still does not tell her. This is a nice movie, and would be good to watch this along with another movie starring Amol Palekar and Vidya Sinha (Choti Si Baat), which is also a delightful movie.



Lyrics:

rajaneegandhaa phool tumhaare, mahake yoo hee jeewan mein
yoo hee mahake pareet piyaa kee mere anuraagee man mein

aadhikaar ye jab se saajan kaa har dhadakan par maanaa maine
mai jab se un ke saath bandhee, ye bhed tabhee jaanaa maine
kitanaa sukh hain bandhan mein

har pal meree in aakhon mein bas rahate hain sapane un ke
man kahataa hain main rangon kee, yek pyaar bharee badalee ban ke
barasoo un ke aangan mein
