'sawan ki aayee bahaar re': Rain Song from Junoon (1978)

Most beautiful part from Shyam Benegal's Junoon (1978) - a film set around revolt of 1857, had women singing. Junoon is a violent film, other memorable scene from the film has Naseeruddin Shah killing pigeons because he is angry. Women sitting in a mango garden, woman enjoying a simple swing, woman singing about rain and love - That is the only thing spelling peace in this film about violence, which it says, has origin in human Junoon, obsession, of one kind or another. In simple words, the film is about obsessed men planning revolutions, conquests and heartbreaks, while women get by and adjust.

Here's the scene:
