So much has been written on "Madhumati" by so many people that its not really necessary to write more. All the songs are unique and evergreen. One of my most favourite song is the haunting melody of "zulmi sang aankh laDi". Pity the Dwijen Mukherjee song "Tan jale man jaltaa rahe" was deleted and it didn't get much press either. Salil used a true "bass" voice in this song ! The lyrics of this song was written by Majrooh. Song#MM3 is based on a Nepaleese Folk song and Song#MM4 is based on a Kumaouni folk song.
