Homages to another Lost Legend




What an unforgettable beautiful melody 'Dil ka Bhanwar kare pukaar' was...Really soul stirring.


The art world of India has lost another legend. The legendary Dev Anand has passed on at the age of 88.

As observed by a few, the art world of India has indeed lost many gems in 2011. Yes some of them went away at a good age(in their 70s and 80s) and had left behind great legacies. It's still sad because the worry is the lack of fit successors.

We can only hope and pray that there will be more able successors who would come up in the near future...As of now, considering the downfall of quality in B'wood, it all looks bleak.

SOME Tribute tweets from Twitter in the memory of the legend---

Dev Anand had come for the coronation of the king. My mom went for a brunch with him. She hid a tape recorder to record their conversation.

It was expected, one day. The man was old, a caricature. But there's the #DevAnand of 50s, 60s, 70s, even the 80s. We should remember him!

Here's another song from the golden age of Indian cinema. Indian movie lovers would recognize this classic song from 'Kala Pani' picturized on the ethereally beautiful and legendary Madhu Bala and Dev Sahab. They have been termed as one of the most good looking couples that graced Indian cine screens...


And this amazing romantic song with meaningful words ..Beautiful!


Then there are these unforgettable hits from 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna.'






Enjoy this beautiful patriotic song from a film of his and hail the legend...



The last song was basically picturized on South Indian beauty Vyajantimala,but Dev sahab is there too. It's from the memrorable hit 'Jewel Thief'.

It must be also be mentioned here, that this heart touching song will continue to be a painful reminder for all Madhu Bala fans. The song was said to have been heard by the unfortunate and ethereally beautiful actress during the later years of her life. She's supposed to have identified with this song...
Very sad.

Really wish things would have turned out differently for some amazing people of the world...
