Comments – Nice sitar and bansuri at the opening of this song. It is interesting that in the alternate reality of Hindi films, everyone automatically knows how to play musical instruments without ever practising. Meanwhile in the real world, the rest of us struggle and practice without ever coming close to mastery.
