Nain Diwane Ek Nahin Mane… An Old Hindi Film Song.

Muzaffar Naqvi said

Bhai Giri you are a devout Rabindra Sangeet fan. Never heard this song before and thank you for sharing the link so I could listen the original too. If it was soft in Suraiyya’s voice it was even more softer in your voice. You definitely grasped it very well and rendered almost perfectly. I liked the way you sang Na~~~ exactly as it is. Lovely song and your diction was near perfect too. What I enjoyed here is the difference of Punjabi and Bangla touch I noticed between the original and your versions. Such a treat you presented here Bhai I thoroughly enjoyed it. I Fav it long before I made my comments.
P.S: Yes Suraiyya became the melody Queen once Noor Jahan left for Pakistan.

GIRIDHARAN ji……
Simply suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuperb ! I have heard the original many a times. I loved the way you have sung…. very soulful, soothing and expressive singing. Today, reading your wonderful informative write up, I realised the influence of Rabindra Sangeet. Well, special thanks for the information of raga on which this wonderful composition is based. Loved this thoroughly Giridharanji.

Giridharan ji – So beautiful rendition as usual.loved it.

Hemanth Kumar said

Excellent rendition, Giri ji :-) !

I am familiar with the original Suraiya ji number that you have mentioned in your intro…. Fantastic song indeed….

From what you are sharing on this forum, it is evident that there must be innumerable Hindi & Bengali film songs that were inspired by Rabindro Sangeeth….!!

Many thanks for enlightening us with these songs and their backgrounds….

Kind regards,

Hemanth

Giri, very nice! There were a lot of composers in Bollywood who got their inspiration from Bangla music. Sachin da one of them. Loved reading your commentary. You have sung this song in a very beautiful velvety tone. The track obviously seemed like it was made for this song, even though it was not!

I have definitely Heard this song………& You have definitely Sung it in SD Burman-da style…The Original Composer……….And why not…

The Imaginative picture of Burman-da Narrating & Explaining the composition to suraiyya’ji just Came in my mind…………This is How it must have Happened……….

You seem to be An ardent fan,infact A Keen follower of Rabindra-sangeet……….Very Visible with your Rendition’s too…….Thank’s for High-lighting & Making us All Aware of this Beautiful Musical & Basically very Sweet Sangeet part….

Absolutely melodious singing, Giri. I could get the Bengali touch (the beats had the Bangla touch) – this pitch was so soothing. You really think out of the box and all you guys are keeping us so entertained with such class uploads.
Loved it!

Hi Giriji,
Your voice and singing are at the top level. The song used to be popular, and i remember the tune if not the words. This version based on a Rabindra track has a slightly different flavour, but good music is always good music!
Cheers and regards!
