Mystical Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I just thought i'd share this song with you lot. Its from the film Waris Shah.

shaheediyan Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 It's an interesting film (we watched it for research reasons). You get a slight insight into how the destruction of Bharat Sangeet (devotional) takes form from the Mughal period onwards. You get a small taste of Sufi tradition, which is cool, particularly understanding the root of the innocent love for Heer. I think there is a mention/praise of this love by Bhai Gurdaas Ji in their Vaaran also. But as always, Bollywood's attempt at history fails.... Waaris Ji decides to use a Vaaja to sing his convincing devotional song to win over the district Mughal law enforcer. The vaaja of course being introduced by the fanatic Christian missionaries over 120 years later. Lastly, it would have been wise if they had decided to give the actor playing Makhdoom Ji some "devotional" dancing lessons!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I liked the songs in this film not to mention the film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
