The challenge of Nadiya kinare in Abhimaan was to create a supremely classical yet rustic song. SD Burman’s music, Majrooh Sultanpuri’s lyrics, Lata Mangeshkar’s voice along with Jaya Bhaduri and Amitabh Bachchan’s performance and Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s direction were ably supported by the competent technical crew and musicians.

Anand Desai (in maroon) and Antara explore how master craftsmen of cinema and music matched every frame to a note in this song which can well be called a textbook in song composition and picturisation.
