There are certain songs which leave a deep impression on your young mind. Some may leave a wonderful feeling or a bitter one, an emotional one or a physical one, etc. This song reminds me of a very dear friend who was also my classmate during my formative years (Intermediate and Bachelor’s degree).
This friend, we shall call him Sanjay, had a very strong liking to Kishore Kumar songs, while I had a strong affinity to the songs sung by Mohd Rafi saab. Similarly, he liked R D Burman’s compositions while I loved Laxmikant Pyarelal’s compositions. He had a special liking for tall, dark and handsome actors (Amitabh/Mithun C/Mahendra Sandhu/etc) while I preferred Fair skinned handsome heroes (Shashi/Rishi Kapoors/etc). But the competitive spirit never came in the way of our friendship. We used to be always together in anything and everything. We had a hell of a friendship going on for 5 years.
Life went on, and after our graduation, we chose similar career paths as medical representatives, and had our job postings in different cities. He went to Solapur and I joined my duty in Kurnool. And then we drifted apart. Then, almost 25 years later, I was informed that the poor soul lost his life in a road accident. Although we had lost touch with each other, that news really shocked me.
Today’s song is in his memory and features two of his favourites – Kishore Kumar and Mahendra Sandhu. I remember having seen this movie with Sanjay in Zamrud Talkies in Abids, Hyderabad, when we were in our second of the three year graduation program.
Mahendra Sandhu was born on 18 April 1947 in Patiala, Punjab. In 1970, he joined the FTII, Pune, and completed a two year acting course.After this he started his career in 1973 with Khoon Khoon, a movie inspired by Dirty Harry. He has acted in 30 films, most famously in Agent Vinod (1977), produced by Rajshri Pictures.
Aaj Ki Radha aka Aaj Ki Dhara is a 1977 Hindi film directed by Mukul Dutt. The film features Mahendra Sandhu, Rehana Sultan, Waheeda Rehman, Danny Denzongpa and Ranjeet in the lead roles. A bit of trivia surrounds the title of this movie. It seems the censor board objected to having “Radha” in title when that character is shown as having loose character or negative traits. Therefore the title was changed to “Dhara” at the last minute. However, the LP records were released earlier and were sold as “Aaj Ki Radha”
This movie had 4 songs all penned by Naqsh Lyallpuri and composed by Sapan Jagmohan. This song “ Yeh Mehfil Yun Hi Sajegi” was sung by Kishore Kumar. The song is lip synced by Mahendra Sandhu and we can also see Rehana Sultan and Padma Khanna (sleeping/passed out on a chair/Table). I am unable to name the dancer who is dancing in front of Mahendra Sandhu – Can someone identify her?
Editor’s note: This song under discussion was penned by Indeewar according to HFGK.

Lyrics
Yeh Mehfil Yoon Hi Sajegi
Duniya Yoon Hi Chalegi
Yeh Mehfil Yoon Hi Sajegi
Duniya Yoon Hi Chalegi
Yeh Mehfil Yoon Hi Sajegi
Duniya Yoon Hi Chalegi
Jo Dhadkan Kisi Ki Ruke
Tum Ruko Na
Mehfil Yoon Hi Sajegi
Duniya Yoon Hi Chalegi
Taara Toote Koi Agar
Ambar Khaali Na Hoga
Taara Toote Koi Agar
Ambar Khaali Na Hoga
Raushan Apni Raat Karo
Socho Na Tum Kab Kya Hoga
Yeh Ghar Kyun Kisi Ka Jala Hai
Na Poocho Tum
Mehfil Yoon Hi Sajegi
Duniya Yoon Hi Chalegi
Apni Uljhan Kya Kam Hai
Auron Ka Gham Koi Kya Baante
Apni Uljhan Kya Kam Hai
Auron Ka Gham Koi Kya Baante
Kaliyaan Kaliyaan Chun Lo Tum
Rehne Do Gulshan Mein Kaanten
Jo Ho Chaak Daaman Kisi Ka
Na Dekho Tum
Mehfil Yoon Hi Sajegi
Duniya Yoon Hi Chalegi
Jo Dhadkan Kisi Ki Ruke
Tum Ruko Na
Mehfil Yoon Hi Sajegi
Duniya Yoon Hi Chalegi
Yeh Mehfil
