Saare niyam tod do
Posted on: October 10, 2010
In 1970s, we had a genre of movies that were supposed to be fun movies, which were mainly directed by Bengali directors like Hrishikesh Mukherji, Basu Chatterji etc. These movies followed their own formula of comedy.
In these movies, the main actors would pose as someone else than what they are and this would lead to funny situations at the expense of a character artist playing a fastidious patriarch. Thus we had movies like “Chupke Chupke” (1975) and “Golmaal” (1978) where everyone had a hearty laugh at the expense of Om Prakash and Utpal Dutt respectively. By the end of the movie, the said martinet would get “reformed”.
“Khoobsoorat” (1980) follows the same pattern, witth the difference that here the gendre is changed. In the earlier mentioned movies, it is the hero who has fun at the expense of the partiarch. Here instead of a partiarch, it is a martiarch played by Deena Pathak and it is Rekha who takes it upon herself the reform Deena Pathak’s household from a gloomy morose family into a happy cheerful family.
Here is a song from this movie where Rekha conveys her philisophy of life which is vastly different from Deena Pathak’s way of looing at life.
This is a play acting song , where Rekha and a few other female actors stage a show in front of other family members (sans Deena Patahak), where Rekha tries to tell the family members to enjoy themselves instead of leading dull straightjacketed lives sans enjoyment.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and it is picturised on Rekha and many actors. I am not aware of the names of them all, but I can recognise Ashok Kumar and Shashikala among them.
The song is written by Gulzar and music is composed by R D Burman.
This song is a pending request of several readers of this blog, so here is this song from “Khoobsoorat” (1980) on their farmaish.

Lyrics
saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
arre saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
inqilaab zindabaad
inqilaab zindabaad
aap bhi boliye
inqilaab zindabaad
inqilaab zindabaad
khaao piyo mazaa karo
khilkhilaa kar hansaa karo
kal ki chintaa karenge kal
aaj to aaj hi jiyaa do
isliye
saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
arre saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
inqilaab zindabaad
hmm
inqilaab zindabaad
bolo
inqilaab zindabaad
inqilaab zindabaad
chhee chhee chhee chhee chhee
hat
dinke chaubees ghanton mein
aath ghante hain sone ke
aur chaar hain khaana peenaa
do hain rone dhone ke
kuchh kapde badal ke katate mein
kul baaki chhe hi bachte hain
in mein kitna kaam kare
khelein yaa aaraam karen
isliye
saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
ae saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
inqilaab zindabaad
aap bhi to bolo
inqilaab zindabaad
inqilaab zindabaad
inqilaab zindabaad
jis baat mein aanand mile
wo karne mein harz nahin
har cheez yahaan par mahangi hai
har cheez ka chadhtaa paaraa hai
bhaade se oonchi building mein
building se ooncha bhaadaa hai
jis baat mein aanand mile
wo karne mein harz nahin
har cheez jahaan par mahangi ho
hansne par kharch nahin
isliye
saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
arre saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do
inqilaab zindabaad
aap bhi bolo
inqilaab zindabaad
ho
inqilaab zindabaad
bolo
inqilaab zindabaad
saare niyam tod do
niyam pe chalna chhod do

i) its “Dinke Chaubis Ghante” not “Jinke Chaubis Ghate”
ii) Its “Kapde Badal ke Kat te Hain” not “gatte mein”
iii) lastly where u ve ??? it goes “Kul Baaki 6 Hi Bachte Hain, In main Kitna Kaam Karen, Khelien Ya Araam Karen”

Thanks for the correct words. I have not heard this song in last 28 odd years, and sometimes such words are not easy to understand if you have not heard this song too many times.

hey atul
thanks for completing another farmaish. however the first 3-4 minutes of the song is missing. Its a real long start to the song. It goes like this
suniye sunati hun main ek kahani
yeh baat sachi hai uskeliye jisne maani
jo na maane use thenga humara
kahani ka raja hai bhenja humara
jurm batao, naam batao
kya kiya hai kaam batao
baarish mein yeh bheeg raha tha
bin permit ke cheek raha tha
eesh cheek raha tha?
aisi halki harkat ki hai aise desh ka wasi hokar
kis desh mein ganga behti
naak mein tinka daal ke iske che baar aur chikao isko
jao! jao!le jao isko!
aachee! aachee! aachee! aachee! aachee! aachee!
aachee!
yeh kaun aaj aaya savera savere
ghanchakkar hai sir ghanchakkar
ghanchakkar?
Ghanchakkar
sunata sunata sunai deta hai
shayar hai sir dua deta hai
dua deta hai ya duhai deta hai
sabhi kaam ulte hai iske huzoor
raat ko jaagta hai subah sota
gum agar iska apna ho toh hasta hai
dusre ka mile to bohut rota hai
hmm! samjhe!iska saaya bhi na rehne do paas mein
jao dafan kardo inhe itihaas mein
