'Pehla Nasha'-Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander

This song is definitely one of the best romantic ballads of all time. It caters to every pianist's delight and I being a pianist myself love to play this song time and again on the instrument.The grandeur of the piano and the strings combination is marvellous and is put to great effect in this song. With very few instruments and more concentration on vocals, Udit Narayan and Sadhana Sargam have shiown us their vocal prowess and their ability to carry a song forward just with their voices. This song is another example where its brilliance is depicted by the sheer simplicity contained within.This song is as conventional a piece as one can hear because it caters to the protocols that Indian film music used to follow exceedingly well...First, there is a verse..then there is an interlude using one instrument...then one paragraph...then an interlude using another instrument....then another paragraph and then end the song with the first verse...There is no modification whatsoever and thus it caters to every listener because of the absence of a surprise element thus makign it a very predictable structure and a very easily hummable composition. This is definitely one of the best romantic pieces made and thus would be an apt song that could be sung for one's special ones...Musically it is a delight and gives a very soothing feel to the ear because of the use of piano and strings...
