New Delhi: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magical storytelling has always enthralled audiences and created cinematic masterpieces. A filmmaker whose imagination and skill transcend time. While his films feature the magic of his storytelling, his songs encapsulate the same fervour. Among many of his films, his 2002 period romantic drama Devdas has an evergreen and iconic album.
Even after more than a decade, the album of this film continues to make its mark as ‘Dola Re Dola’ has secured the eighth spot on IndieWire’s list of ‘The Best Bollywood Numbers of the 2000s’.
It is worth saying that every song from SLB’s Devdas is a gem in its own right. However, the song that particularly secured its place on IndieWire’s list is ‘Dola Re Dola’. Beautifully sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shreya Ghoshal and KK, this song perfectly captures the magnificence of Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, dancing together for the first time on screen in a dazzling sequence.
The song, which showcases SLB’s remarkable storytelling ability, is set against the backdrop of Paro’s family’s Durga Puja festivities, where she joyfully welcomes the woman she now loves back to her childhood sweetheart, throwing aside social stigmas to dance together in celebration. Red and white saris, which honour Bengali traditions, also became visually iconic with this song. The song is beautifully choreographed by Saroj Khan.
It’s a well-deserved recognition for a beautifully crafted song by SLB, creating a magical moment that remains a treasure in the entertainment world.
