Vinayak, as always a wonderful nugget from your kitty. Thanks for uploading
this song. This movie is a really poignant take on relationships between
two continents in the backdrop of war. I somehow think that the ability to
accord compassion & dignity to the helpless even if they be the enemy
themselves in the face of war comes naturally to us Indians. Can you
imagine the Brits ever granting that to us in those times??

Yes, the end of the movie made me realise that it was love, not lust. Until the end, I thought the hero was just obsessed with the heroine. I was even ready to say that Shashi Kapoor, through acting, conferred too much dignity to a "vain, weak character like Javed Khan". But the last minute of the film shows clearly that it was pure love. The movie is a masterpiece. It would have deserved even international prizes.

@ramzilyc Buddy, i have known this story frm my childhood n i love it , its
based on a novel "A Flight of Pigeons" by Ruskin bond n is based on real
life story , and coming 2 answering ur comment - 1: Javed was in love with
Ruth "already" when the story begins and the incidents @ church happens
later on ... so defntly he wouldnt hav allowed 2 kill ruth n her family if
he would hav been there ,, 2: and saving them was only for his "love" sake
coz if he would hav let them go out they would have ..

@ramzilyc been burnt alive and anyways he was married but his wife couldnt
have kids due 2 sum prob ,, and last but not the least - in the end Ruth
finally realises his love and she too falls for him but when he'll come 2
meet her aftr brit's victory she was ready 2 go with him but he'll refuse
coz he'll knw that he has short life ahead !!! so if it was lust only an
hour is enough right ??? and if u dnt knw after 55 yrs Ruth dies in London
"unmarried",, she spent her entre life in his memory..

This one is not sung by Asha Bhonsle. The one sung by her is in the
original soundtrack of the movie but does not feature in the movie itself
independtly, as a complete song. I had that version (which is really
beautiful) but lost it, desperately looking for it. If anyone can post,
will be grateful.
