Lovely retro melody and beautifully sung, Paras. It was equally delightful to hear the original - Nutan was such a beautiful singer. Thanks for sharing this cute classic.

It gives me a two-fold pleasure to know that Nutan also possessed a beautiful voice! Like many others, she is my favorite heroine also ... one of the most attractive personalities, in my view!

What a soothing Voice you Have...!!!

Nice song and Lovely singing! Everything is Perfect and very enjoyable :)
Thanks for introducing me to this song and to Nutan as a singer. I wish she had a duet with talat mehmood in sone ki chidiya where both acted...It would have been a great treat.
Thanks for sharing!
Adwait.
Nice attempt, keep it up.
Hello Dr.Paras!!!!
Visited your blog,to tell you the truth i just could not take my eyes from Nutan’s lifelike photo.She is my favourite beauty,a serene beauty and remembered till date for her sobriety,poise and an embodiment of indian womanhood!!!!NUTAN as a singer was an interesting news,heard your song.VERY well rendered and a nice composition too.Whenever i think of her i used to remeber SAWAN KA by IMMORTAL MUKESH and THAT "SORE"is still ringing in my years.Nutan was ravishing and out of the world in that movie.Bollywood has not seen any other beauty after her i would say!!!!
Your singing is enchanting and reminded me GEETADUTT.Voice timber is like hers,and welcome if you could sing some of her Golden oldies.There is one famous song ,i don’t remember the film but the hero is Gurudutt a taxi driver and the heroine Nimmi i am not sure.
If you remember that song will you sing for me?
would love to hear old hits of NOORJAHAN,GITADUTT AND SUMAN KALYANPUR!!!!!!!
Lots of love and Blessings!!!
Rakshitha
Never heard this song before, never knew Nutan sang either. Wow!!!
Beautiful singing by you, as usual. Your voice texture, and the 'art of presentation' truly brings life to these golden gems. The recording is remarkable (nice work Ajay Bhai!). Loved it.
Wazif Bhai Sahab: So happy to know that you liked it. Thanks.
Anil: Thanks for the encouragement. :)
Adwait: Thanks for listening to my tribute to Nutan, even when you are so busy continent hopping. :)
Shibasis: Thanks!
Rakshitha: Thanks for your very sweet comment. I will try and post that song you mentioned..."Sun sun sun sun Zalima" from Aar paar. It was Shyama in the lead role with Guru Dutt.
Asim: Your input was long awaited. Thanks from both of us. I am glad that I posted this song. Nutan's talent was multi faceted.
Parasji,
Awesome singing. It was as good as the orignal. Enjoyed this rendition very much.
regards
RK
