| In spite of the fact that the bengal heart throb 'Uttam Kumar' was one of the main characters in this very badly directed film, the church choir song 'biswapita tumi he probhu' is a wonderful song. Salil shows his mastery again in composing such songs. I remember hearing similar hymns in Kerala churches. As we all know, Salil traveled to Kerala often and he must have listened to these church hymns. Salil created a beautiful hindi version of this song in the hindi film Minoo (MN1). 'Himeli himeli raatey' doesn't match the sheer power and the richness of it's hindi version sung by Asha (OB24) or it's malayalam version (RL1) in the film 'Raasaleela'. |
