Amitabh Bachchan won accolades for
his role in Pink, for “naa; naa ka matlab naa,” or something on those lines.
Years before that, in 1998, a very Preity
girl had told Bobby Deol the same thing — in words that had an impact far
deeper than Bachchan's baritone.
Soldier
taught me to sing o naiyo naiyo (albeit not loudly) whenever
anyone asks anything of me.
I
had no clue that it was possible for a movie to be titled just to
accommodate the lyrics of a song. The title need not be relevant at all. Soldier
taught me that, as would Bichhoo.
I
never believed that mera baap chor hai could be bettered. Then Soldier
gave me mera pati deshdrohi hai.
Soldier released this day, 1998. The charm
lingers, and is likely to linger for a lifetime.
Keep playing the songs in a loop tonight. Mehfil mein. Baar baar.
