Eyes in Bollywood Songs and Why Naina Thag Lenge Is Different
Bollywood has long
been captivated by the allure of eyes. Songs like Humko To Jaan Se Pyaari
Hai Tumhari Aankhen, penned by Hasrat Jaipuri, pay tribute to Rajshree,
celebrated for her mesmerizing eyes. Classics such as Aankhon Hi Aankhon
Mein, Teri Aankhon Ke Siva, Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri Dekhi, and
Kajra Re Tere Kaale Kaale Naina span the complete range of emotions,
from soulful to seductive. These tracks consistently extol the beauty and charm
of eyes.
Gulzar's song Naina
Thag Lenge stands apart in two significant ways:
·
It is about one’s own eyes and
not those of one’s partner
·
It condemns eyes for creating a
deceptive illusion and not showing things as they are
The song is from Omkara, an adaption of William Shakespeare’s Othello. Omkara, the equivalent character of Othello, is deceived into “seeing” that Dolly Mishra (Desdemona) is unfaithful to him.
