such an amazing control over their voices... awesome ear pleasing

The Creator on Friday, July 17, 2009
How soul touching is MY music. The present day music directors have
Murdered my music.

ASALBOYE on Saturday, August 29, 2009
Present day music is a joib or a profesion. through which they earn their bread , But this music like Basant Bahar is priceless Gems. and Shankar Jaikishan is Lord of Music

ASALBOYE on Saturday, August 29, 2009
wah manadey and His Exl. Sir Pandit Bhemsen joshi

Arindam Sengupta on Saturday, September 12, 2009
It is unbelievable how Manna Dey matches the Bhimsenji taan for taan here!
It is possible, of course, that Pt Joshi was asked by the music director
not to make things too difficult for Dey ;p but if not, then Manna Dey
almost proves an equal to the Bharat Ratna in virtuosity!

ratantata1 on Monday, September 21, 2009
After several years Manna Dey also accepted one thing.when Padosan was released, Manna Dey was asked to sing aginst Kishore Kumar and was defeated by Kishore...Manna Dey argued "these Directors, Producers and sometimes Music directors also don't understand...they made him lose aginst Kishore Kumar and win against Pt Bhimsen Joshi"...that is so funny...

@ratantata1 Dear thank the director that he did not shoot the song with
both the actors riding the horses.

SABINA S on Tuesday, October 26, 2010
@dams0001 Actually Bhimsen Joshi is down playing is capabilities. He is a
great singer, and Manna Dey, as good as he is, is no where near Bhim ji. I
heard Bhimsen Joshi's live concert, and they are amazing. He has a
beautiful voice and singing abilities. Personally I love his voice above
any artist.

Arindam Sengupta on Sunday, October 31, 2010
@sabina2475 : very probably true; also, Manna Dey must have performed
unusually extensive riyaaz before recording this song. He excelled here as
nowhere else. Though he had a background of classical training, popular
music would never demand that kind of riyaaz; so it is a safe bet to
conclude that he had to work extra hard to match Pt. Bhimsen Joshi.

ravanahead on Sunday, November 21, 2010
A rare piece by Bhimsen who never sang for films. Vintage Bhimsen ji and I
agree Manna Dey is there every step of the way.

mony9070 on Sunday, January 09, 2011
Such an amazing song!! But I wonder why they didn't have Bhimsen Joshi sing as the winner. That would have made more sense. Manna Dey is magnificent, but I think even he would have doubts about Bhimsen Joshi being outsung..

muthubharadwaj on Monday, January 10, 2011
It is GREAT that Shankar brought TWO great giants together in this greta
song - each great in his own way. Of course there is no comparison when it
comes to classical singing that Panditji toweres way above Manna Da, who by
him self is a GIANT TOWER. But I think that this was done for the purpose
of appealign to masses, I am sure that living giant Manna De would never
have placed him anywhere even near the Panditji forget about putti9ng
himself above him.

pinkcreekpebble on Monday, January 24, 2011
Rest in peace Bhimsen Joshiji. Sad loss for the nation today.

Ram Nanduri on Thursday, February 03, 2011
Thanks for upload.A true masterpiece by two great artists. nanduri

mny08 on Thursday, February 10, 2011
@ratantata1 Really funny remarks. Music is not any sports that one can
defeat other.. In music every has their own style and way of play. Everyone
is winner here. Ok?

satyajeetvaidya on Saturday, March 10, 2012
Panditji - sashtaang pranam. what a masterpiece.

Mukesh Ramadas Bhakta on Monday, April 09, 2012
Does anyone know what raga is this? And what taal is the tabla on?

Sabaji Naik on Tuesday, April 10, 2012
Bhimsen and manna.. Both are really great and their dedication to the
indian song is beyond comparison.. I remember watching manna day's
interview where he mentioned to be at bhimsen ji's place for few months to
learn this song. True masterpiece!

Atul Burnwal on Wednesday, May 23, 2012
i want to tear myself when i compare today's so called music with such
legendary music. Hats off to you Pt. Joshi and Manna De.

VoltaireG on Wednesday, June 06, 2012
Im the 786th on this post! Nice song..actually I take that
back..THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST! Classic!

The Creator on Saturday, July 21, 2012
@mukeshramadasbhakta : I am told this is set to Ek taal.

The Creator on Saturday, July 21, 2012
I wonder if any of the so called Indian Idols and those who JUDGE them can
come anywhere near such masterpiece renderings!

Shreya Choudhury on Saturday, October 13, 2012
Omg, this song is the best, I must say. Pandit ji and manna de are the
best. Rip bhimsenji.

Shreya Choudhury on Saturday, October 13, 2012
I love this song. So excited that Manna De still lives even now although
pandit Bhimsenji died last year.

kritisachi on Monday, November 05, 2012
Hindi film music at its best. R.I.P. Joshiji, S.J, and long live De Saheb.

r8rdarklord on Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Pt Bhimsen is Bharat Ratna, so it's unfair to compare him with the judges
on Indian Idol. I do agree because some of those guys act as if they are
the greatest gift to mankind. BTW, give a listen to this years saregamapa,
specially Mohd Aman - I don't know who he has learned from but some of his
taans are like Ustad Salamat Ali Khan; he sings pure classical and most of
the bandishes are from Agra Gharana. Not sure how long he is there but
might as well savor his singing while it lasts.

Siddharth Mishra on Saturday, December 22, 2012
Please brother i believe indian idol is the least talent singing
show..Please watch saregamapa..Singers are really awesome..But comparison
with Legends like PanditJi and Manna de ji is not fair..

Immortal and Unforgettable song - Thanks very much for sharing plese

Beautiful classical composition of SJ & the voices of Pt Bhimsen Joshi &
Mannadey. Really it is funny that Mannadey looses to Kishore Kumar in
Padosan but wins from Bhimsen Joshi in Basant Bahar.

Bijay Khaitan on Saturday, May 18, 2013
I love classical based songs. This one is one of the best. Bhim sen joshi
is superb.

Long live Shankar-Jaikishan

A real treasure !

unparallel composition of the uncrowned kings of the golden era of music

Sam Sharma on Tuesday, June 25, 2013
I think bhimsen joshi's taans are faster then a machine gun!!

vivek raina on Friday, October 18, 2013
Making manna dey win the competition, letting the hero represent manadeys
voice and making pt bhimsen joshi lose and making pandit jis voice
represent the lose was such a shame...i love the song . but it help type
cast classical singers as they are portrayed in hindi film industry and in
society in general..BTW i have an immense respect for Manna Da.who is a
gem..

vivek raina on Friday, October 18, 2013
I posted my post before i read yours and just liking yours would have
conveyed my message well enough...

Samprasad Majumdar on Wednesday, October 23, 2013
An anecdote of the narration of the great maestro Manna Dey is in order:
the maestro was chided by his beloved wife for seeking to hide away on a
holiday, as the prospect was imminent that he would have to match with
Pandit Bhimsen Joshi on this very song. But, Pandit Joshi was his greatest
help, however, for this song, like a guru, I believe. Now, aside, the story
line is my predicament: a disciple does not defeat his guru in public;
rather glorifies his art.

MIHIR DATE on Friday, October 25, 2013
Manna Dey was the only one who could express any Raga and created the
atmosphere corresponding to the Raga, like in this one can always feel the
blooming flowers and the spring season. No other singer, playback singer or
a classical singer has/had such sweet voice and expression.

Ak Dey on Sunday, October 27, 2013
Unforgettable song. Long live Manna Dey in our heart.

Navin Pomal on Thursday, November 28, 2013
excellence

rinkichamkar on Monday, December 09, 2013
No question, Joshi-ji is the clear winner. But as Nana Patekar's dialog
goes - "App bade hain to uska matlab yeh nahin ke hum chhote hain". Each
was great in his own sphere.

Clash of the Titans indeed !

Uday Mohole on Friday, January 31, 2014
आज इतकी वर्षं झाली पण 'केतकी गुलाब'ची, संगीत-प्रेमींच्या मनावरची मोहिनी
अद्याप टिकून आहे! वसंतांतल्या दवण्याइतकाच त्या गाण्याचा सुगंधही अजून ताजा,
टवटवीत वाटतो!!

...But it happens...

You don't know when,
You don't know how,
But it happens.
Things have changed,
Things are different,
But it happens.
You were happy,
You were sad,
But it happens.
Then you forgive,
Then you forget,
But it happens.
This is love,
And this is what happens.
