Piya Nahi Aaye Sakhi - Darwaza (1962)

An extremely pleasant duet, a rare combination in the voice -of two great legends- Ustad Amanat Ali Khan and Melody Queen Noor J-ehan. The song has a semi-classical flavour to it. It is indeed a good composition by talented Salim Iqbal and good rendition by Am-anat Ali Khan and Noor Jehan but I feel that the song does not tap on- the immense potential of the singers. If they were pairing Amana-t Ali Khan and Noor Jehan, they could have gone for hardcore classical -stuff. It would have been lovely to hear both the singers indulge in t-wisting aalaaps and murkis.
