Blog 10-Year Challenge (2009-19) – Song No. 50
——————————————————————————
Welcome all to this post under this series where I am presenting yet another song from the Seventies. The last post presented in this series was also presented by me that too was a song from the year 1973.
The song under discussion is also from a movie of 1973.
Ever since Atul ji started this series it has become my routine to regularly check for movies which are eligible to be discussed in the series in the forthcoming month. I try to find movies that triggers long dormant memories of those days, associated either with the movies or their songs.
I may not necessarily have watched all those movies. In some cases it is only the songs from these movies, frequently being played on the radio or loudspeakers may have left lasting memories in my mind.
The movie for today’s song is a case inn point. I have not watched this movie till now, but I remember its song ‘tere naam ka deewaana, tere dar ko dhoondhtaa hai’ which was arguably the most popular of all the songs of this movie, as it was frequently played on the radio then. I did not like this song those days. Nevertheless this was the song and not any other songs that I associate with its movie.
After many years I listened to ‘honi to hoke rahegi anhoni naa hoye’ and liked it very much.
One more song from this movie which was popular and was played on radio and loudspeakers is the song being presented today. It was only after I browsed the list for the pending songs from this movie that I get to know that this song was from this movie ‘Suraj Aur Chandaa’.
I was surprised when I find that this song has not been posted on the blog till now.
As mentioned above I had not watched this movie or its songs till now. It was during the preparation of this post that I watched the video of this song for the first time.
Despite their popularity, none of these songs made it to the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ of that year.
Before going into the song let us have a look on the movies represented on the blog ten years ago this day 16th November 2009;
Movies represented on the blog on 16.11.2009 (in descending order);
| Song | Movie title-Year | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Gaaon mein peepal peepal ki chhainyya | Suraj Aur Chandaa-1973 | 03 of 06 songs posted |
| Sajanwaa bairi ho gaye hamaar | Teesri Kasam-1966 | All Songs Covered in the blog |
‘Sooraj Aur Chandaa-1973’ or ‘Suraj Aur Chandaa’ was directed by T. Madhava Rao for ‘Suraj Films, Madras’. (It was a costume drama movie as mentioned in HFGK Vol V). It was produced by A.V. Subramaniam. It had Sanjeev Kumar, Meeta (new discovery), Sujeet Kumar, Jagdeep, Lakshmi Chhaya, Shyama, Jairaj, Sajjan, Krishna Kant, Mukri, Ram Mohan, Herucles, Lalita Kumari, Sujata, Mona, Kamal, Bhimraj, Arun Kumar, Prem Kumar, Ravindra and others. Banda makes a special appearance in this movie.
Story of this movie was written by B. Vittalacharya, and dialogues were written by Raj Baldev Raj. Editing of this movie was done by G.G. Krishna Rao.
The movie was passed by Censor Board on 22.05.1973.
This movie had total six songs penned by Anand Bakshi and composed to music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi, Mukesh and Suman Kalyanpur had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Three out of the six songs have been posted on the blog earlier.
Today’s song is the fourth songsfrom this movie to appear on the blog. The song is picturized on Bindu and Sanjeev Kumar where Bindu is lip syncing in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice. Also, there are snakes around in the picturisation of this song.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on the movie and its songs.
Editor’s note:-This song was quite a well known and hummable song of 1970s. It was a song which one heard without necessaily being aware of its details.
From the lyrics, one would guess that a lady is singing about her beloved who has come from far off.
When one watches the picturisation, all such assumptions get thrown out of the window. What one watches in the picturisation is something mind blowing, inadvertently so.
The song is a “naagin” song, in which a “naagin” is singing this love song to her beloved. “Naagin” is played by Bindu and Sanjeev Kumar is her beloved.
“Naagin”(1954) provided the template of all “Naagin” movies, but this movie “Suraj Aur Chanda” (1973) takes that template to a different plane altogether.
In all other “Naagin” movies, a snake charmer (Sapera) plays the been and the female snake (invariably ichhaadhaari naagin) would turn into a human female and would then perform a dance.In this song, it is different. Here it is the snakes who play the “been” (yes seriously, just watch the picturisation). The snakes do not just play the been, they play the whole orchestra including instruments like Dholak, Tabla, Sitar etc as well. 🙂 And the lead snake Bindu performs the dance.
Snakes playing the music ! It is something unprecedented in the annals of Hindi movies ! I am not aware of any such instance in any other movie.
What an idea ! In my younger days, I would laugh at such a picturisation, but now, I can only be amused at the weirdly imaginative brain of the person behind the picturisation of this song.
This song deserves special recognition, especially for its picturisation.
We in this blog hereby make this song the century song of the blog.
THIS song is the 15300th song post in the blog. This song, marking the 153th century post of the blog is a “special” song in its own way. Picturisation of this song can keep people amused for hours ! 🙂
It appears that Laxmikant Pyarelal had specialised in being music directors of “Naagin” movies of that era. They would compose music for such well known “Naagin” movies like “Nageena”(1986)and “Nigaahen”(1989)” as well. These movies had Sridevi as the ichchaadhaari naagin. Remember ‘balma tum balma ho mere khaali naam ke’ 🙂 ?
So, with this amusingly picturised song, the blog completes another century. An agonisingly slow century that took 72 days. Very much in line with the slowing economy. 🙂
But on a different note, as many as 35 movies made their debut and three movies got YIPPEED during this period.
Thanks are due to all the supporters, well wishers, contributors, regulars and visitors whose continues support ensures that this musical bandwagon keeps chugging along on and on.

Chorus
Lyrics (Provided by Prakashchandra)
Poorab dishaa se pardesi aaya
Nainon ke raste man mein samaaya
Purab dishaa se pardesi aaya
Nainon ke raste man mein samaaya
Man ka wo meet ban ke ae
pritam ki preet ban ke
Preet ka geet ban ke
honthhon pe aaya
Poorab dishaa se pardesi aaya
Nainon ke raste man mein samaaya
Jab se wo aaya aa aa
neend naa aayi
Jab se wo aaya aa aa
neend naa aayi
neend jo aayi o Ram duhaayi
sapnon mein aa ke mujhe
neend se jagaaya aa aa
neend se jagaaya
Poorab dishaa se pardesi aaya
Nainon ke raste man mein samaaya
Aa aa aa aa aa
Aa aa aa aa aa
Aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
O o o o o o o
O o o o o o o
O o o o o o o o
O o o o o o o o
jhoom ke maine ae li angdaayi
jhoom ke maine ae li angdaayi
jab sapere ne been bajaayi
naagin pe jaane kaisa jaadu chalaaya aa
jaadu chalaaya
Poorab dishaa se pardesi aaya
Nainon ke raste man mein samaaya
Poochho naa meri ee prem kahaani
Poochho naa meri ee prem kahaani
Ban gayi main to o aisi deewaani
Saara zamaana uski yaad mein bhulaaya aa
Yaad mein bhulaaya
Poorab dishaa se pardesi aaya
Nainon ke raste man mein samaaya
Man ka wo meet ban ke ae
preetam ki preet banke
Preet ka geet ban ke
honthhon pe aaya
Poorab dishaa se pardesi aaya
Nainon ke raste man mein samaaya

पूरब दिशा से परदेसी आया
नैनों के रस्ते मन में समाया
पूरब दिशा से परदेसी आया
नैनों के रस्ते मन में समाया
मन का वो मीत बनके ए
प्रीतम की प्रीत बनके
प्रीत का गीत बनके
होंठों पे आया
पूरब दिशा से परदेसी आया
नैनों के रस्ते मन में समाया
जब से वो आया आ आ
नींद ना आयी
जब से वो आया आ आ
नींद ना आयी
नींद जो आयी ओ राम दुहाई
सपनों में आ के मुझे
नींद से जगाया आ आ
नींद से जगाया
पूरब दिशा से परदेसी आया
नैनों के रस्ते मन में समाया
आ आ आ आ आ
आ आ आ आ आ
आ आ आ आ आ आ आ आ
ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ ओ
झूम के मैंने ए ली अंगडाई
झूम के मैंने ए ली अंगडाई
जब सपेरे ने बीन बजाई
नागिन पे जाने कैसा जादू चलाया
जादू चलाया
पूरब दिशा से परदेसी आया
नैनों के रस्ते मन में समाया
पूछो ना मेरी ई प्रेम कहानी
पूछो ना मेरी ई प्रेम कहानी
बन गयी मैं तो ओ ऐसी दीवानी
सारा ज़माना उसकी याद में भुलाया
याद में भुलाया
पूरब दिशा से परदेसी आया
नैनों के रस्ते मन में समाया
मन का वो मीत बनके ए
प्रीतम की प्रीत बनके
प्रीत का गीत बनके
होंठों पे आया
पूरब दिशा से परदेसी आया
नैनों के रस्ते मन में समाया

मजरूह का गीत हो
चित्रगुप्त संगीत हो
लता की आवाज़ हो
और कुमकुम का नाच हो॰॰॰
॰॰॰ तो कैसे आए ना नाग बस में
majrooh ka geet ho
chitragupt sangeet ho
lata ki awaaz ho
aur kumkum ka naach ho. . .
