A Brit 🇬🇧 Reacts to Bollywood 🇮🇳 - 'PIYA TOSE NAINA LAAGE RE' from the film GUIDE

[@couch.patati-patata]

This time you've hit jackpot. We had The Guide by R K Narayan as part of school curriculum. Rosie's the oppressed wife, gets a chance to perform at a school function and slowly get famous, while the guy Raju lives off her. Waheeda Rehman is most graceful. Girls back then aspiring to do films were proficient in at least two forms of classical dance. Since the actresses did not have much speaking roles, they emoted through their songs. And I have always said, R K Narayan was worthy of the Nobel Prize.

[@youalreadyknowwhoim2710]

And that was there strong point. Classical dance made them more beautiful. that's why some director also used classical dances very beautifully. But today it's all trash and crap.

[@prashhdost]

Wahidaji aais in an interview that she told Dev and Chetan Anand that if film running time was getting long nd they need to cut aome scenes...they told cut my screen time to half but don't cut a single dance performance.And by grace of god they didn't cut either. It was a movie ahead of its time.

[@nainajani7825]

The whole is showing her journey as dancer on the small stage to bigger stage and becoming a famous dancer. The story of the movie was ahead of its time. Beautiful movie.

[@chat.choosey]

Observe how the number of instruments in orchestra and the grandeur increases with every stanza.

[@vickramrajmalhotra9479]

Nostalgia What a song What lyrics What a melody What instrumentation What perfection

[@vinor3846]

Matthew, I have watched these dances many times with much appreciation. But seeing these through your eyes and with such admiration, inspires me. Thank you.

[@sumanrao1739]

A few geniuses got together to produce this movie and this music and dance performance in it. The singer, composer, instrumentalists, actor, director all are renowned personalities.

[@chat.choosey]

This is one of the greatest Hindi movies and the best one from that era.

[@rahulvinalnarayan9743]

Guide was India’s offical entry to the Oscars It won many Filmfare awards including Production Design and Best Picture

[@krishtalk1075]

No one in this world can sing this song as beautifully as Lataji has sung it. Not even 10% of it.

[@prashantgurujiguruji9888]

You are absolutely correct. Not even 10% is how true.

[@youalreadyknowwhoim2710]

Absolutely.

[@152manoj]

This song sequence is a montage showing the rise of the heroine as a dancing star from small beginnings to grand stages. Vijay Anand, the director, was one of the leading ones of those times, and he was an expert in picturising song sequences.

[@sunilkapadia7450]

Hi i will suggest ur expert opinion on one more classic by lata mangesker its from movie ,reshma aur shera ,and the song is “”tu chanda main chandni”

[@prashhdost]

It is pure mastery of lataji...that song in single take in live recording

[@couch.patati-patata]

The song Aaj phir jene ki tamanna hain from the movie is like the anthem of breaking free. Rosie starts to live again. You should watch that.

[@the_guiding_tutor]

This is one of the finest, the most artistic dance performances in the history of Indian cinema. And don't even get me started on what an exemplary music album this movie has. You also don't want to miss the meaning of any of these songs even though the videos and the music are such a feast already. You should really watch the full movie. It's truly iconic. You are on the right track! You are finally on the right track!

[@leelagainpaulsingh8835]

I agree with you its brilliant They can't do such quality anymore .S.D Burman music waheedaji devsaab lataji era of total brilliance

[@AjayShankariya-uz8cn]

Sir, you are really good choice,Indian classical music and dance.

[@viveknaralkar6007]

Director Vijay Anand and musician S D Burman ' s 50 % credit for success of film Guide ! This is very long recorded song of Lata Mangeshkar. In this song dancer Rozy ' s journey of successful as dancer..

[@Lovely-dl5cw]

Guide movie is one of iconic Masterpieces of Indian cinema. Both the actors Heroine Waheeda Rehman and Hero Devanand was superb in it. It's a must watch movie❤❤❤❤

[@trueblu-f2r]

This is timeless artistic cinema . Thanks for this one. The oldies are simply the BEST. ❤

[@sanjivastavans5068]

I wish time the Brit could've understood the meaning of paras of the song.. just mesmerizing. Beautiful dance sequences, the sets, everything just perfect. Everfresh, evergreen. My grandfather used to enjoy the songs, dad did too and I very much enjoy it to date. The story was from

[@supersayaaain]

Old Bollywood movies were so mesmerizing and knowledgeable ❤❤

[@harbans323]

Absolutely classic- every song is masterpiece- the energy and the classical snake dance is master class .. also recommend Kagej k Phool ( paper flowers) with Guru Dutt and Waheda Rahman.. waqat ne Kia’ Dalip Jassal 🙏

[@madhuchhandagidwani5601]

Most songs of the film Guide are absolutely marvelous.

[@zubeidahatteea2732]

This is indeed a classic movie that is never outdated Based on a book u can watch it in any era Do watch it n I am sure u will appreciate

[@JasbirKaur-pe1du]

Nice to see you appreciate our dance and culture 😊

[@kalpanadas9342]

There is one more song where Waheeda Rehman looks absolutely stunning in this film. "Katon se kheech ke yeh aachal"

[@navpreetkaur1975]

Vijay Anand ,the director of the movie Guide......was master of stage songs....! His stages songs have never been boring.....he used serve all stuff on stage..! Amazing director...!

[@zubeidahatteea2732]

Waheeda is a very good classical dancer In this song she starts ftom scratch up to becoming a very famous worldwide dancer Her character in the film is very strong indeed

[@Reincarnation111]

Waheeda is so enchanting, she will steal your mind heart and soul and snatch them away. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@amreshkumarsingh7440]

Classic Song of Indian movie is so beautiful.❤

[@VijayG-yl9eh]

Lyrics written by Mr. Shailendra and musician S.D. BURMAN

[@prashhdost]

Finally Infian cinemas greatest dance face off between Vyjayantimala and padmini... U'll be awestruck...but watch south indian version coz it is full length

[@becharsolanki2391]

As people mentioned in the earlier comments, Guide was a movie much ahead of its time. And what do we say about Waheedaji - one of the best actress from Indian Cinema and not to forget how beautiful she was. One of the rare movie where Waheedaji's classical dance was portrayed. She was a trained Bharatnatyam dancers. One of my all time fav actress from India.

[@anjanadutta2652]

God bless you.

[@chat.choosey]

The director Vijay Anand was the actor Dev Anand's brother.

[@navpreetkaur1975]

In my childhood we used to listen this on All India Radio.....imagine .....the musical instruments used in this song .....were according to the time....season...festival.....! Like Holi festival....we can get vision from instruments that it is holi time

[@pnrv]

The song traces the dancers rise from dancing in rural villages to big stage audiences in the cities. Also depicting the four seasons. The colorful is spring and Holi!!

[@pallavimandal5298]

More than looking at the gentleman’s face, I was often drawn and tempted to watch Wahida ji & her graceful nuances and expressions through that small screen window, though I have been watching it from childhood! 😊 absolutely lovely piece & the whole melodious singing and composing, also the dancer in me loves her even more! ❤

[@jyotigupta9908]

Guide is my number 1 movie and I can watch it any number of times, and time just stops for me when I'm watching this movie. Everything about this movie is beautiful, the music, songs, direction, storyline , acting by each and every character, and above all, the message that it conveys.

[@meghaman129]

Vijay Anand (Dev Anand's brother) was a visionary director way ahead of his time; Guide is a prime example of that stellar creative output. Matthew, I urge you to read the Narayan novel and watch Guide (there is the original Bollywood version and a shortened international version stripped of the amazing songs)

[@prasantapathak7724]

Waheeda Rehman's eyes are very attractive. She got many awards for her acting. Dev Anand was one of the few most handsome actors in those days. S.D. Barman is an immortal music composer. This movie has all key persons from different corners of India.

[@pallavikevideos]

Last many of your videos were on mam Sandhya and one of her best acting was in a movie do aankhen barah haath and there is a Hollywood movie inspired by that movie is dirty dozen . Now this guide movie is a master piece different from Raja Hindustani, only the beginning little bit matches . wahida mam's character was a brothel dancer's daughter who wants her daughter to get married and by giving money to a rich man she does that but wahida loves to dance and he doesn't allows her , fights with her , betrays her . After knowing his betrayal she leaves him with help of dev anand sir , he sets stage shows for her to perform and soon became famous. they both loved each other but soon dev anand starts thinking about money , luxuries, his needs , gambling and many more, she then starts arguing about all telling there was enough money to my ex husband but there was no love but he doesn't understand and she leaves him too , he gets shattered and leaves the house . roaming here and there with empty stomach some circumstances made him people think he is a saint but he knows his own truth , for their faith he continues acting like a saint but for people's faith he does a long fasting so that God will be happy and let it rain and because of his long fasting he soon got famous. Millions of people including wahida came to see him but at last he died . He met with God After death and it's actually raining because of true faith shown in the movie.

[@Reincarnation111]

Waheeda is so enchanting, she will steal your mind heart and soul and snatch them away. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Mathew looks like the (villain) actor Jeevan of our films!

[@chat.choosey]

You have found a milestone movie :)

[@bhartijayshankar3250]

If interested, see the snake dance of Waheeda in the same movie Guide

[@supersayaaain]

No obscenity, just pure talent ❤❤

[@sahilprasad1754]

This is highly complex and convulated story of a man's journey to find the God within. Do not compare it to cheap movies like Raja Hindustani. Both are sea apart

[@mohanpujar7403]

Waheedaji learnt Indian classical dance form, Bharatanatyam in her childhood when she was in TN. During her entire career, she did great films and had an uneventful career without any controversy! Recently she was conferred with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award! Film Guide was a super duper hit and became a cult classic over the years!

[@manmohankapur8392]

Thank you for your excellent review. This has been a truly classic dance and song item. Very enjoyable indeed !

[@SonaliGurpur]

R K Narayan 's book GUIDE is devastatingly beautiful. Waheeda Rehman reminds me of my mum so I worship this song, and it's beautiful on it's own. A recent movie with similar esthetic might be Saawariyaa.

[@Joe90-e4r]

All songs are great in “ Guide” Din dal jaye or rat na jaye, is my favourite.

[@vishagapatnam]

While you're admiring Waheeda ji, I'm in awe of your detailed admiration of our songs & dances. I just discovered your channel. Will search for more. Thank you Mr. Mathew. This is like our craze for The Beatles!!

[@retaparasram5439]

Hi Matthew i am very happy you get to watch this move and there are many more movies you have to watch many more Bollywood movies, I watched this movie so many times the songs and dances are so wonderful, the actors are classic, enjoy sir this movie is a winner. 🙏🏼🇨🇦

[@Humanity901]

Old Hindi movies are beautiful with rich hindu culture and language base in script ,story telling ,song picturisation ,dresses of actors etc etc

[@vs9324]

Guide has been one of my top 3 all time favourite film.

[@minarajesh4966]

This was one of the best movies 🎥 ever made. Well observed . Watch Bobby it’s a mesmerising film 🎥of the 70’s😀Well done on all your observations 🇬🇧😃

[@jalenduvaidya2541]

Theme is she performs dances presenting festivals like Dowali, Holi, Basant, etc..

[@Vkaur696]

Vijay Anand and chatman anand both dev anand brothers. This movie is a classic hit and we sit glued many times whenever watching . Story line is too good. Another song is Ajj phir jine ki tamanna hai. ( want to live fully again, want to die again) Wahida all time freat classical dancer and great actress.

[@vaneetgill]

The song is showcasing passing of time : the firecrackers is Diwali time, Little twinkling and coloured lights is the New Year Time or winter then comes colour powder being thrown that is Holi - festival of spring.(She sings as well ayee holi ayee). Last but not the least full moon night of Holi of new beginnings.

[@MB-tx6di]

The whole song is not available in the LP record released those days. Only the Holi part is there. It's a Gem of a Movie, Classic compositions by Senior Burman saab of all the songs He has masterly done his job as he usually did for all his movies. ❤

[@stargazing2207]

One of my favourite songs🎉

[@prashhdost]

Watch snake dance from same movie...u'll come to know her dance prowess

[@aceji]

I have two more peacock dance songs worth watching. Film KATHPUTLI song Bakad bum bum baje damroo and Film SATRANJ song Jungle mein mor nacha. Both fantastic compo by Great Shanker Jaikishen.

[@mvirdi47]

Waheeda was the best dancer of her time in 60's And one of the top actresses of the era. Her acting in hindi movies was superb.

[@sbpal100]

The melody of the song is simply mesmerising. You feel like listening to the tune again and again.

[@Aayrush]

Marvelous amazing

[@vaishalinikale4591]

Sir have you noticed how many dresses she has changed and the stages ? It was incredible and was only possible with Devan Anand Sahab and Vijay Anand Ji . Sir do watch the Movie, it has an incredible message at the Climax. Love and Respect from India for you for Honouring and paying Respect for this Masterpiece Movie Guide.. Please watch the full Movie Sir and you will get various messages for the society at Large which includes today's world where it is hard to find even in our indian society specially..❤

[@abbymenon3591]

May be you would like to see Hema Malini dance in the movie Satrang Song Ta Thai tatat Thai

[@bhartijayshankar3250]

It is in Tere Mere Sapne movie

[@kittykat0078]

Yes please! That is another gorgeous actress, dance & song from Tere Mere Sapne also directed by the great Vijay Anand. Thanks so much for this Matthew.

[@mukulgandhi1446]

Great- thank you 🙏🤗🙏❤ Another classic you should see is Lataji and Sadhana’s “Aaja Aai Bahar Dil Hai Bekarar”

[@amitray4105]

You must watch and review this movie Mathew , its absolutely worth it .

[@sangfroid7]

To appreciate the song one has to knoe the context and subtext. She is performing at various places and reaching popularity and it shows her love for her 'GUIDE'. but it's the same guide who guides her out of drudgery and then tries to misguide her, instead loses his own way and life.... eventually to become a vagabond only to be rescued by spirituality

[@poojatyagi1541]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SanjaySharma-hu6yn]

Guide is easily one of the 5 best films of Hindi cinema. It's storyline was far ahead of its time. And yes, Vijay Anand's body of work is extraordinary. He was a genius filmmaker and his song picturization has never been bested. By the way,he was Dev Anand's younger brother. One more interesting fact: their eldest brother Chetan Anand,who was also a film🎉 director,is considered the most talented of the three! Try watching "Haqeeqat"...made by him in 1964,it is still the best war movie made in India.

[@RakeshBharadwaj4298]

Matthew, You have excellent taste and are hopelessly romantic. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 👍🏼💐💐🙂🌸🌸👍🏼

[@pangrula]

Masterpiece

[@snehaasaikar1937]

If you have liked this dance, please watch her serpent dance in this movie. Her art is oppressed and when she comes across a serpent dance being performed, she is unable to stop herself and dances in a kind of a trance. Please do watch it. It is a masterpiece.

[@NKS2024-v7b]

Great pick for the “reaction” video and your commentary….

[@chhayakapadia1758]

👌👌👍👍

[@swapnilkamble2429]

Hey Matthew...hope u r doing well? Happy to see u reacting to this song. Firstly, let me tell u that Raja Hindustani is the remake of the hit movie Jab Jab Phool Khile. U also reacted to one song Yeh Sama Sama Hai yeh pyar ka from the same movie. Guide is a masterpiece. The direction, acting, background score, screenplay, dialogues and the mesmerizing songs which are essentially a part of the movie's screenplay everything is just perfect. This movie ends with a spiritual note and ofcourse the climax is quiet emotional. I want u to react to one more song Mo Se Chal kiye Ja and Kya se Kya Ho Gaya. These are two different songs but they follow one after the other. U will definately get the gist of the movie. Here the actor's selfless love is questioned. Please watch the video with both the songs together. Because there are also 2 different videos for both the songs. U have a great week ahead!

[@mausambhagabati356]

Please also react to Lata Mangeshkar Song Aao Ab lout Chale, there Lataji hits her highest note that sustained few seconds, Bb5 , ❤ you must check that song, it's historic

[@aayushwable1337]

When i watched this movie for first time all songs hit me,all characters impressive & perfect acting impressed me a lot.This movie & songs are ever watchable.After reactions arrived i was waiting.for it,Very good,Please try to react other songs too.keep it up. And if u can react to full movie it will be superb.

[@yasmeenrahman7638]

You saw it from the perspective of grandeur and the beauty of the performance, whereas we would probably find flaws, e.g. dress changes between scenes. I would like to see it from your perspective.

[@sumanrao1739]

You get plenty of such dances in Hindi films. Do watch Vyjayanthimala dancing in Hindi films. Also dancing by Gopi Krishna in the same. Both utter geniuses.

[@ujjwalsarkar9364]

Art trancends the boundary of ethnicity or nationality and even culture, by appealing the core of the human psyche at its deepest.

[@ashajain1617]

This is true and real Indian dancing......not what is shown on TV shows....waheedaji is one of the great dancer in bollywood...vaijyanti mala,padmini, asha parekh...hema malini...all are representative of Indian culture in film world..

[@HimeshChande]

If you have known the Indian culture a little bit, you would know that Hindus worship a lot of Gods and hence they are also known as Pagans. One of the Goddesses that Hindus worship is Saraswati. She is considered to be the Godess of knowledge, arts, culture, speech, education, learning, music, poetry etc. The singer of this song Lata Mangeshkar was revered so highly that she was (still is) considered and revered as incarnation of Saraswati. She is lovingly referred to by many Indians as Maa (mother/saraswati) Saraswati! Some Indians literally worship Lata Mangeshkar!

[@paramesthavasu9562]

Guide, The Film: 1958 - was based on R. K. Narayan's book of the same name.His friend and mentor Graham Greene (of the 'The Power and the Glory (1940)' fame) helped many of R K narayan's works to be published! The film was not very succesful at the box office - the "moral" of the story did not sit well with the Indian thinking at that time. However the songs were a great hit!

[@ramphulrama3837]

Mr Matthew watch also vijentymala from Katputli movie 1959
