4th of December, will always remain a black day in Indian cinema, because it brought to us the sudden demise of the legendary 'Dev Anand' Ji. A soul whose style and persona will be there in this world forever.
There are some people who come and go, and then there are some people who make their way into the world in such a way that they never go. Dev ji is a person who came with a style... his own style... his own trademark... that kept him in a completely different league.
We all know there are endless movies which he has contributed into, to make them classics. And the same goes with the music. His style of dancing, with his hands hanging down loosely accompanied by his innocent face and a childish smile, simply makes those lovely tunes, sound and look even better. His presence in the songs just gives me a feeling that no one else could have been here, as if he had composed the songs just for himself.
Khoya khoya chand, Tujhe jivan ki dor se baandh liya hai, Gata rahe mera dil, Pal bhar k liye koi, Hai apna dil to awara, Abhi na jao chhod kar and countless many. All the black and whites are just classics! It's really hard to choose your favorite one. With such melodies showcasing him, I am pretty that sure Dev ji had a good taste of music! However, as the years passed on, his choice changed.
From Mohd. Rafi to Kishore Kumar, from S.D. Burman to Kalyanji-Anandji, there is nobody in who hasn't had a classic with him. But yes! I don't remember Mukesh singing for him. Maybe you guys can correct me in this, by finding a song where Mukesh sang for him.
He had always believed that youth is forever, and it clearly reflected in the way he did things. The legend will always be remembered through his fabulous songs, where his youth will be preserved... forever!
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.
