In late 1950s and for much of 1960s, Mehmood and Shubha Khote were paired together as part of extensive and often irritating comic side plot. But Shubha Khote was not always paired with Mehmood. I find it interesting to note that she was paired opposite Jagdeep in “Barkha” (1957). Jagdeep, a natural comic somehow did not seem to have any flair for non comic roles including romantic roles, serious roles etc. As a result, most movies with Jagdeep in non comic roles failed miserably at the box office.
Here is a song from “Barkha” (1957). Here Jagdeep is seen making passes at Shubha Khote. This scene could have been carried well by Mehmood but it is difficult to take Jagdeep seriously in the picturisation.
Rafi sang this song. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Chitragupta.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.

aaaa aaaa
hoi
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
pehali pehali na ka
aadhaa matlab hain haan
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
ye raat bhi hai kuchh aaj garam
mere dilbar ka bhi mizaaz garam
ye raat bhi hai kuchh aaj garam
mere dilbar ka bhi mizaaz garam
haay kya kehana
haay kya kehana
husn agar hai garam
to garama garam hain ishq ke armaan
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
arre pehali pehali na ka
aadhaa matlab hain haan
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
har dil kaa qaatil ishq ishq
phir bhi manzil ishq ishq
har dil kaa qaatil ishq ishq
phir bhi manzil ishq ishq
haay ishq ishq
haay ishq ishq
ishq agar na ho to
duniya ki mehfil hai veeraan
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
arre pehali pehali na ka
aadhaa matlab hain haan
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
dil aataa hai bass ek baar
phir kyon na kar le pyaar pyaar
dil aataa hai bass ek baar
phir kyon na kar le pyaar pyaar
bass ek baar haay pyaar pyaar
arre daal ke aankhen aankhon mein
mujhe pyaar se kehade balmaa
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
pehali pehali na ka
aadhaa matlab hain haan
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan
pyaar kiya nahin jaataa
ho jaataa hai meri jaan

I have often heard it said that doing comedy roles is the toughest challenge for any actor. Strangely though, in Jagdeep’s case the reverse was true! He was brilliant as a comedian. I saw him for the first time in ‘Aar Paar’ in a minor role. He was unforgettable! And can you imagine even Mehmood as ‘Surma Bhopali’ in ‘Sholay’?! NO!
For some strange reason, he was plain bad in non-comic roles. That beautiful, haunting song by Suman Kalyanpur, “Mere mehboob na ja, aaj ki raat na ja..” from ‘Noor Mahal’ has been ruined by Jagdeep’s terrible efforts at acting frightened. So sad…..
