excellent- as usual
Very nice work, Paras & Azam. Love all the songs from TM, RD Burman started getting his hands dirty w/TM, and the rest was history!
Thanks for singing these old gems! How about 'Aaja Aaja Main Hoon Pyar Tera' next?
My head is still going 'Shammi Kapoor' though the song has stopped playing.. :)
Paras: Liked the Sonaaa at 3:30 very much...:)
Azam Bhai: very very nice...
Paras & Azam,
Excellent rendition. Lovely choice and you both have sung very well. Thanks for singing these unforgettable classical gems.
Nice work & enjoyed very much listening!
Just curious...what is next in the making!

Paras - Its funny u also posted this song...I posted my version 2 days ago :-) Very nicely sung Paras! Liked the harkat "laakh daama" and likewise in the second antara. Nice expressions too.
Khan bhai - U r one of the very few songs who can do complete justice to a Rafi song. Very nicely sung!
Paras ji, Azam bhai,
Excellent singing by both of you, everything is on the dot in this rendition, expressions and feel were awesome. Keep singing such timeless classics.
Paras, Perfect energy,expressions &

Oooo.. one of my favorite oldie goldie! Thanks Paras!
Candid comment: I could easily imagine Azamji as playback for Shammi Kapoor, but it was tough fitting your voice for Asha Parekh.
Can you remember a song Geeta Dutt sang for Asha Parekh? I'm sure you will in an instant!
Very nicely sung, Paras and Azam..One of my all time favs:)
NVK sahab,
Thank you for your hearty comments. And yes, there is no plan to stop the re-rpoduction of these old gems :)
Dinesh sahab, bohat shukria!
Asim Da!!!
Yes, Teesri Manzil songs are a milestone in Hindi film history. Thanks for appreciating these old gems!
Rajesh,
Shammi Kapoor definitely had his own style :D. Thans for lending an ear. Your "Kuhu kuhu" was amazing!
Dinesh bhai,
Bohat nawazish! Nothing planned for sure. Right now, I am simply looking forward to my graduation! After that, any song that catches my eyes is a possibility.
Dr. Kusum,
I am glad that the song brought you some delightful moments. Thanks for your comments.
Vaibhav,
Thank you for listening and glad to have met expectations :)
Smitha,
Glad to hear from you as you have performed the same song recently and wonderfully. I am happy that you like my singing of Rafi sahab's songs! Thank you for your comments!
Dhiraj,
Good to see you back! Thanks for your encouragement!
Amin bhai,
Glad to hear from you. Thank you for your kind words.
Shantha,
Thanks for listening and your comments! Did you sing anything new yet?
Sursugam, thanks a bunch!
Deepak,
Thanks for listening, dost!
Charag,
Thank you for your comments!
Srividya,
Thank you for listening to our attempt.
Last but not least, thanks to Paras for asking me to participate in this wonderful song. Besides singing flawlessly, She also took over the mixing responsibilities and I am never disappointed with hers and Ajay's judgements on those decisions.
Paras didi,
One of my fav.....
Very beautifully sung with perfect energy ! enjoyed it a lot.
Azam - wonderful singing ! enjoyed a lot !
Bharti, thank you! Your comments mean quite a bit. Please keep listening!

Dear Parasji,
Heard 'O mere Sona' and 'Tauba tumhaare ye ishaare'!
Somehow i think you are not using the 'bhav' or expressions as you call it,considering the actress and actor involved!Therefore your singing (swars sit very pretty)sounds more classical then playback!Probably why the oldie numbers suit your voice and singing style better!
Azambhai-Went on your blog to hear 'Aadmi jo kehta hai',after hearing 'O mere sona'!
I think you have ingrained Rafi sahab so much in your bloodstream that singing any other playback singers songs(except Sonu,who also is a rafi like singer)keeps sounding like a rafi number!I think it just comes naturally to you!
But youre too good at all Rafi numbers!
i keep playing and hearing our 'Bane chhahe Dushman' number in my car and my friends cant believe the familiarity with Rafi sahabs voice!
Take care and happy Singing!
Nitin
I just heard this one - very nice singing! Loved the selection too. :)
