Few people know about Gulzar's unreleased 1988 movie Libaas, starring Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi. There is one very beautiful romantic song in the movie, "Silli Hawa Choo Gayi". The lyrics are of course by Gulzar and the music is by RD Burman, and singer the melodious Lata Mangeshkar. This song is very difficult to find on the Internet, or to come across on television or radio. I saw this song on Doordarshan several years back, loved it, and ever since it has been on my mind. The slow, soft music and the amazing poetry wrapped in Lata's voice this is clearly a musical masterpiece. Click the play button on the player below to hear the song.
