"Parda Hai Parda" ( Hindi: पर्दा है पर्दा, Urdu: پردہ ہے پردہ) is a filmi qawwali song from the Bollywood 1977 film, Amar Akbar Anthony. [1] [2] It was performed by playback singers Mohammed Rafi and Amit Kumar and the lyrics were penned by Anand Bakshi; the film's musical directors were the duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal. It provides a comic commentary on how women's beautiful faces are hidden by their veils. It appears in the film as a sequence where Rishi Kapoor's character, Akbar, performs in a Qawwali show to impress his love interest, Dr. Salma (played by Neetu Singh). [3] When Dr. Salma attempts to open her veil, her father, Tayyab Ali (played by Mukri), tries to stop her but fails. The sequence also features the character of Anthony Gonsalves ( Amitabh Bachchan) and an old woman who is later revealed to be their mother, Bharati ( Nirupa Roy).
Parda Hai Parda gained much popularity with South Asian audiences and ranked second in the Binaca Geetmala year-end chart for 1977.
Laxmikant-Pyarelal were awarded the Filmfare Best Music Director Award for 1977 on the strength of Amar Akbar Anthony's soundtrack, and particularly this song. [4] Mohammed Rafi was nominated as the best playback singer that year for the same song.[ citation needed]
