Joe Menezes Violin in Barsaat (1949) - Music Makers onscreen

A milestone musical moment in Indian Cinema, a breakthrough of a song for Lata ji (& entire music team), also a moment which gave us the famous RK emblem of Violin in the hand.

And ofc the interesting confrontation of Shehari Baabu & Village Belle of identifying the instrument as Sitar or a Violin highlighting the socio-cultural difference... and then we have another unique and milestone moment in Indian Cinema, where a performing solo musician appeared on camera. yes The Great Joe Menzes

Joe Menezes's violin became immortal in the hands of Raj Kapoor and not only this song, but it gave us the iconic logo of RK films with Raj-Nargis & a Violin..
