Kancha lay kanchi lai lagyo....a song in Hindi classic Madhumati (1957)

Today I will talk about an old 1957 Hindi Classic film Madhumati, directed by Bimal Roy, a legend of  Indian cinema.  This black and white film had Dilip Kumar, Vijayanthimala, Johnny Walker, Pran, and Jayant in the lead role and is regarded as one of the milestones in Hindi cinema. I have seen this movie on television a couple of times and enjoyed it. The idea of this film has over the decades inspired many other hit films including Rishi Kapoor's Karz and Shah Rukh Khan's Om Shanti Om. The exciting part of the movie for me is not the acting skills of the great actors assembled nor the story that had been long talked about but one song that stayed with me in my mind for a long time. So far it is well and fine but the thing i want people to go through is one of the songs that has stayed with me for a long time.

Melodious ‘Sizal’-ing all the way

Those people can achieve the impossible who dare to dream about. It took more than two decades for Sonam Lama to fulfil his childhood dream of coming out with his own Nepali musical album. His maiden venture “Sizal” aptly named after his daughter who he feels had brought back all her luck is ready for release.    Born in Singtam to late R.B.Tamang and Palsang Tamang, this Primary School teacher at Sakyong Chisopani by profession had over the years been actively participating in cultural activities in Singtam and surrounding areas since his school days till the late 90s whereof after joining the government job had been keeping a low profile.   Sizal is a collection of eight melodious Nepali solo songs composed, written,  and sung by the talented Sonam Lama himself.
