Thank you for rewinding nostalgic memory of 'Pehla nasha' song. The filming of song, the location, the music, actions created a long lasting memory. I have preserved a DVD of ' Jo jeeta woh Sikandar'

Aahhhh! Young love ❤️ remembering the first time I felt truly in love, (I was 17) even though the relationship ended, we kept in touch occasionally, and I still feel that touch all these years later even though it is now 4 years since he passed. I don’t think anyone ever forgets their “first love”

When you are as old me as you too will probably start thinking about life differently, certainly more reflective. 🤗

Imagine...Majrouh Sultanpuri was 72 when he wrote the song. I didn't know! Then again, I guess you do appreciate the tenderness of first love only as you enjoy the privilege of getting old. What a trip down nostalgia, Minaz. Thank you for this soft, sugary great :)

Well, Mansoor Khan left the city for the mountains.. But I am sure there's more good cinema to come.

That initial drum beat that leads into the song is so catchy. And then the visuals !! Masterpiece if ever there was one!

I am relieving this moment right now as I read this post .

This song 'draws the audience into its magical realism and becoming one with the euphoria of first love.' is a powerful statement that is true.
