Amazing song, one of the best song sung by Shreya Ghoshal. Brought memories of the city in which I was born. Om Namah Shivaya.

Who would believe Himmesh was the music director for this!

gr8 song by Himesh Reshammiya. superb singing by shreya ghoshal

dharmaseed on November 28, 2009
Could someone please explain to me why some of the lines in this movie are
spoken in English? Were they overdubbed, or is this just a result of India
being ruled by the British for so long?

canesmojo on November 28, 2009
English is very commonly spoken in India and it's not uncommon for people
to switch among two or even more languages in conversation. Usually if an
Indian-made movie is dubbed, it's dubbed in another Indian language for
release in another part of the country. (Telugu movies are frequently
dubbed in Hindi for example.) Dubbing in English isn't unheard of, but it's
not common. I don't recall a lot of English dialogue in "Banaras", though
there may have been some when Urmila meets the doctor.

dharmaseed on November 29, 2009
Okay, thank you for clearing that up. The movie 'Water' was where I first
noticed it, and was just wondering.

canesmojo on November 29, 2009
Actually "Water" was made by expatriate director Deepa Mehta and was
actually filmed in *both* English and Hindi (and shot in Sri Lanka because
of political pressure). Each scene was shot in English and then re-shot in
Hindi. Strangely enough, the girl who plays the lead doesn't speak *either*
language and simply learned her lines phonetically as she needed to deliver
them. There have been other films made in India that were filmed in English
though. Notably and recently Slumdog Millionaire.

dharmaseed on November 29, 2009
Thank you once again! I had been aware of the political pressure (as it was
documented on the DVD), but did not know that the girl could not speak
either of the languages. I have not sen Slumdog Millionaire, as my tastes
tend to gravitate toward more obscure Indian films with a decent spiritual
or moral message.Any other films like this one that you might recommend?

Mitul Yagnik on September 12, 2010
a very great musical worship to lord Shiva by Himesh Reshammiya.
beautifully sung by Shreya Goshal.

S K Sharan on October 02, 2010
any body having the CD/VCD of this song/film, please contact on
sharan_s_k@rediff.com

Jem Raj on October 17, 2010
For all those confused - the little girl is 'miming' to Shreya Ghoshal's
voice. She is playing a young Urmila Matondkar. The music composition is by
the one & only Himesh Reshammiya. Jai Mata Di!

SuperShazana on October 26, 2010

garry taneja on March 23, 2013
i love this song great Divine touch...ginni sachdeva Calgary

SHYAM SHARMA on April 16, 2013
Music by Himesh Reshmmiya.. Singer Shreya Ghoshal

SHYAM SHARMA on April 16, 2013
no they are not over dubbed.. in india there are more than 18 mazor
languages. So to make it simple we prefer English as our secondry
language.. Hindi is our mother tounge

dharmaseed on April 16, 2013
Only 18 languages? From my sources (my good friend Manoj Patel), there were
more like 46. Perhaps I;m thinking dialects.
