Parakh satirizes Indian democracy using a plot in which the postmaster (Nasir Hussain) of a village mysteriously receives a check for five lakh rupees to be given to an individual who is most well-equipped to benefit the village. Today, IвЂ™ve translated an all-time classic rain song from the film ParakhВ (1960) directed by Bimal Roy (he won his third Filmfare Award for Best Director for this film!): вЂњo sajna barkhaa bahaar aayiiвЂќ. From вЂњ pyaar hua iqraar huaвЂќ in Shree 420 (1955) to вЂњ ghanan ghanan ghir aayii badraвЂќ in Lagaan (2001), fans of Hindi cinema have been treated to a number of beautiful gems about the rain over the years. Rain songs have always held a special place in Bollywood cinema. Because she plays the role of a village girl here, she was instructed to get rid of the characteristic 'fringe' hairstyle seen in her later movies in order to avoid looking too glamorous! Sadhana wistfully enjoys the rain in 'o sajna barkhaa bahaar aayii' from Parakh (1960).
