Ratan N. 26495
Well, the 1944 release Ratan, is indeed a masterpiece and many movies made thereafter do have some traces of Ratan which we have seen. But what makes this picture a classic is mainly because of the innocence writ large on the faces of lthe hero and the heroine and their love which is pure and sublime. Add to it the sad songs especially those sung by Karan Dewan, “Jab tum his chale pardes…..” and the duet sung by Zohrabai and Karan Dewan makes one totally engrossed in the film. The music scored by late Naushad is par-excellence and even after more than 66 yrs. the film and its songs are worth in gold!
