Thanks, sadna. Yes, love and affection is oozing out of that video. BTW, this, in my opinion, is the true strength of Indian films, both old and new. They can portray human bonds much better than films made elsewhere and can bring tears to your eyes while watching them.(T)

Its the story of an orphaned boy who finds a mother in his bhabhi(elder brother's wife). This song is so well picturised that one knows the story of the movie just watching it. There is an "upma" between jyoti and the bhabhi which BJK missed because he seems to be insisting these days on being a bit of an ass.

BJ:

I also did not see the film. But the actress is not singing in the video clip; she seems to be preparing for pooja while the little boy is helping her, with the song in the background. Without seeing the film, I don't see any problem.

My criticism of the direction does not extend to the actors, of course.

DM-ji, I never watched the movie but always loved this song.

I always thought it was a description of sunrise. The way it has been (mis)used in this movie makes me glad I did not see it. Can anybody in their right mind would sing a bhajan while sweeping the floor with a jhaaroo? I don't think so. Very poor direction! But at least we can be thankful that the movie made it possible for the song to be perpetualized. (T)

yes, it is Meena Kumari from Bhabi ki Chudiyan. Nobody could do a better or a more beautiful bhabi than her.(T)
