Chhodo ye nigaahon ka ishaara

‘Inkaar’ from 1977 is one of my more favorite cops-and-robbers films. Almost the entire picture is a study in understatement. A film that flows pretty close to the levels of realism, and all the characters seem very natural and very normal in the surroundings they are placed in. Most of the action and most of the histrionics is played very normally. There is not much in the film that can be singled out as something overplayed. A difficult feat to pull off, given that it is a crime and detection story.
In most such films, the hero usually acts as if he John Wayne, Humphery Bogart and Sean Connery all rolled into one. Not in this film. While watching the film, one soon comes to realize that it very much a director’s movie, who is able to extract very normal, but very effective performances from all his cast.
The film is produced by Romu N Sippy under the banner of Uttam Chitra, Bombay, and is directed by Raj N Sippy. The film has an impressive cast which includes Vinod Khanna, Vidya Sinha, Shreeram Lagu, Sadhu Meher, Amjad Khan, Helen, M Rajan, Rajeeta Thakur, Sheetal, Bharat Kapoor, Master Raju, Master Rajesh, Shekhar Purohit, Kamaldeep, Harish, Chandu, Pardesi, Chopra, Ranveer Raj, Siddharth, Ratna, Dharamveer, Rakesh Roshan, Kesto Mukherjee, Lili Chakarwarti. If one goes over the star cast, and the sequence of events, one can easily smell the flavor of the ‘formula’. But the flow and pace of events ensures that one does not get bogged down by the formula.
Rakesh Roshan makes an appearance for a party song, and Helen makes an appearance for a spicy dance number in a roadside tavern. Yet the film carries it off very suitably. The crime detection work by the police team is without any frills and show, and include the realities of dead ends that sometimes the investigators come up with. There is a big thing made out for hiding some sort of a marker in the bag that is used to deliver the ransom money, but when the smoke from that marker is finally traced, it is just a furnace that is burning garbage. It is little things like this that add a touch of realism to the story line. Overall, this was a simple yet a gripping story of investigation, that keeps the interest alive right to the end of the film.
The four songs in this film are written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and the music is by Rajesh Roshan. The dance number by Helen, “Mungdaa, Mungdaa, Main Gud
Ki Dali” is already showcased on this blog. Here is the second offering from this film. The number is a very soft and endearing duet sung by Kishore Da and Asha ji. Like the tone of the rest of the film, this song too is kind of underplayed. The words are simple, yet very cute. The music and the pace is unhurried and leisurely. A song that is a comfort to listen to. In 1972, Manoj Kumar made a big impression with the love song picturized in slow motion on the beach in the film ‘Shor’ – “Ik Pyaar Ka Naghma Hai. . .”. After that, for many years, other film makers and directors also tried to recreate the same effect in love songs, in many other films. One can see a definite influence of the technique in this song also. Overall, the romantic angle between Vinod Khanna and Vidya Sinha, does not add any material to the main thread of the story. But the song by itself is very charming, and a pleasure to listen to and watch.
The song seems to be a short one, the way lyrics are structured. But the way it has been arranged and the pace with which it is sung with a deliberate slowness, it does not at all seem to be anything else, but well done. Enjoy this lovely duet, a favorite of mine from a well made movie.
Song-Chhodo ye nigaahon ka ishaara (Inkaar)(1977) Singers-Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Rajesh Roshan
Lyrics
chhodo ye nigaahon ka ishaara
sauda hai ye zindagi ka yaara
sun’naa hai tumhaari zubaan se
ke tum ko hum se pyaar hai
dil se ho jab dil ki baaten yaara
dil waale ko kaafi hai ishaara
jab koi nigaahen jhuka le
to samjho ikraar hai
dekho ji adaaon ki paheli na bujhaao
deewaane ko aur bhi deewaana na banaao
arre itna bhi na samjhe ho ke aashiq hamaare
wahi mere hothhon pe jo dil mein tumnhaare
kya hai mere dil mein abhi se
ye keh dena dushwaar hai ae
dhadhkan bhi hamaari kya sunaai nahin deti
chehre ki ye laali kya gawaahi nahin deti
arre chehre ki ye laali dhadkan ke fasaane
main to maanoon yaar mera dil nahin maane
ho o
sun lo phir hamaari zubaan se
ho hum ko tumse pyaar hai ae ae

छोड़ो ये निगाहों का इशारा
सौदा है ये ज़िंदगी का यारा
सुनना है तुम्हारी ज़ुबान से
के तुम को हम से प्यार है
दिल से हो जब दिल की बातें यारा
दिल वाले को काफी है इशारा
जब कोई निगाहें झुका ले
तो समझो इक़रार है
देखो जी अदाओं की पहेली ना बुझाओ
दीवाने तो और भी दीवाना ना बनाओ
अरे इतना भी न समझे हो के आशिक हमारे
वही मेरे होठों पे जो दिल में तुम्हारे
क्या है मेरे दिल में अभी से
ये कह देना दुशवार है
धड़कन भी हमारी क्या सुनाई नहीं देती
चेहरे की ये लाली क्या गवाही नहीं देती
अरे चेहरे की ये लाली धड़कन के फसाने
मैं तो मानूँ यार मेरा दिल नहीं माने
हो ओ
सुन लो फिर हमारी ज़ुबान से
हो हम को तुमसे प्यार है
Umr to pyaar karne ki aayi

Manoranjan (1974) was Shammi Kapoor’s first film as a director. He roped in R D Burman the reigning music director of that time to give music to his debut film as a director. Shammi Kapoor had in fact given Pancham his first biggest hit with Teesri Manzil (1966). But unfortunately Manoranjan flopped. The songs of this film were hits all the same.

While Padosan (1968) is much more famous for its funny songs and “mere saamnewali khidki mein”, it has more to it than that. This Kishore Kumar solo for example often gets forgotten when people talk of the songs from this film.
