The song under discussion today is from the funny film, “Main shadi karne Chala”-62, sung by manna Dey and Mohammad Rafi.
While Music Directors considered Rafi for ALL types of songs, be it a classical, bhajan, naat, qawawali, love, comedy, fun or sad song, they typedcast Manna Dey only for Classical, Bhajan or songs where a high pitch was required. Actually Manna Dey has sung ALL types of songs viz. Bhajan, qawwaali, Ghazal, love, sad, comedy, classical and any other type of songs. There are songs by Manna Dey in all Genres and he has sung with all female singers, still the ‘branding’ never changed.
Manna Dey sang about 3500 songs in all, and Rafi sang 4500 in all. When I opted for this song, I was curious to know how many songs these two stalwarts have sung together. I started my search and I ended up with 60 songs sung by these two singers from 1950 to 1977.
It is a delight to hear their duets.
Coming to the film- “Main shadi karne chala” was a very fun filled and hilarious film. The story was quite funny, based on the famous Marathi film ” AKHER JAMALE “-1952. It had Raja Gosavi and Sharad Talwalkar as two heroes. The Marathi film had broken all Box office records in those days.
This Hindi film had a very good plot, providing lot of scope for comedy, but somehow the Director seemed to have missed the bus. Actually the Director, Roop K Shoey was a “Purana Khiladi ” for comedy films, but this film could not succeed much. While seeing this film, one is reminded of ” Barretts of Wimpole Street ” a play by Rudolph Besseir and the film based on it, as well as Jane Austen’s ” Pride and Prejudice” . This is because the film is a mixture of all these. Later on several Hindi films as well as TV shows were made on the same theme. Although this was a 1962 film, I had seen it in 1970, during itssecond run. By that time the actors in it had established themselves inthe Hindi Film industry.
The cast was, I S Johar, Rajendranath, Firoz Khan, Prem Chopda, Vivek, Sayeed Khan, Mumtaz, Malika, Tabassum, Praveen Chaudhary, Manju etc.
The story was…
The film is set in the beautiful Kashmir. Deepak(I S Johar) has a Photo Studio on a Houseboat in Jhelum river, along with his friend Raja(Rajendranath). Deepak loves Seema (Sayeeda Khan) a daughter of Janakidas (Badri Prasad) and Jankibai (Durga Khote).
When Deepak goes to Janakidas with the marriage proposal, he is flatly refused- the reason being that Seema-the youngest of the five sisters-can not get married unless her four elder sisters get married.
So, Seema and Deepak decide to first fix their marriages.
All these sisters are of different tastes. Vidya (Praveen Chaudhary) is a writer and Language specialist, the next Menaka (Tabassum) is a Dancer, the next is Ragini (Malika) who is a Singer and the last Lily (Mumtaz) is a Sports person. All of them want husbands of their tastes only.
After many comedy episodes, Deepak and Seema find grooms- Prakash (Prem Chopra), Ashok (Vivek), Kewal (Firoz Khan) and Raja (Rajendra Kumar).
The girls also agree to marry them. However Kewal announces that he has a widowed sister Shyama (Manju) and that she has to get married first before Kewal.
All the pairs now start looking for a groom for Shyama.
Meanwhile, there is some misunderstanding between Seema and Deepak and Seema goes away from the house into a hailstorm and snow. Deepak finds her out and save her from a landslide.
Meanwhile Shyama also gets a groom.
All the six marriages take place in one Pandal and at one time only.
Prem chopra looks very cute in this film, much before he established himself as a Villain and saying…” Mera naam hai Prem…Prem Chopda”. Feroz Khan, Mumtaz and her sister Malika (who later married the wrestler and film Hero Randhawa-brother of Dara Singh ) look very young and charming in this film.
Here is a song from this film for which the Lyrics were by Majrooh Sultanpuri and music was composed by Chitragupta.
Song-O Paise tu Bhagwan nahin (Main Shaadi Karne Chala)(1962) Singers-Rafi, Manna Dey, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Chitragupta
Lyrics
O paise tu bhagwaan nahin
par gun tujhmein bhagwaan ke hain
O paise tu bhagwaan nahin
par gun tujhmein bhagwaan ke hain
O paise
wo bhi taqdeer banaata hai
tujhse bhi bigdi banti hai
wo bhi taqdeer banaata hai
tujhse bhi bigdi banti hai
wo sabko roti deta hai
tujhse bhi poori chhanti hai
dono ke
dono ke dar tak jaate hain
raste jitne insaan ke hain
O paise tu bhagwan nahin
Par gun tujhmein bhagwaan ke hai
O paise
ho tujhse khanakti jeb to phir
begaane ko bhi pyaar aaye
ho tujhse khanakti jeb to phir
begaane ko bhi pyaar aaye
Khushiyaan rut kya soorat pe teri
deewaane ko bhi pyaar aaye
pyaare tu
pyaare tu agar ho paass to phir
anjaane bhi Pehchaan ke hain
O paise tu bhagwan nahin
par gun tujhmein bhagwan ke hai
O paise
Allah ki masjid mein pandit
ruk jaane se inkaar kare
Allah ki masjid mein pandit
ruk jaane se inkaar kare
Bhagwaan ke mandir mein mulla
jhuk jaane se inkar kare
paise pe
paise pe magar sab jhukte hain
bande jitne eman ke hai
O paise tu bhagwan nahin
Par gun tujhmein bhagwan ke hain
O paise
Ghazab ka hai din socho zara

Our parents are our first friends. They were the first ones who understood that we are hungry or upset or just bored without our even speaking (of course we would cry very very loudly at all those points but still). But before we came in and wreaked havoc in their lives, the best families are the ones where they were each other’s best friends.

VACHAN -1955 was one of those films called ” Social “, but in effect it was a film about the heartbreak of a girl and her misfortunes, how her dreams are shattered and she suffers. Hearing this story, I dared not visit the Theatre where this film was screened.

Normally it is believed that O P Nayyar composed music for only two Shammi Kapoor movies, viz. “Tumsa Nahin Dekha” (1957) and “Kashmir Ki Kali”(1964). But that is not correct. O P Nayyar also composed the music of “Mujrim” (1958). This was an Eagle Films Production. It was produced by F C Mehra and directed by O P Ralhan. The movie had Shammi Kapoor, Ragini, Shubha Khote, Kamal Kapoor, S. N. Banerjee, Tun Tun, Mumtaz Begum, Amrit Rana, Abdul, Agha Miraz, Ratan Gaurang, Sood, Johnny Walker, Geeta Bali, Murad, Ramesh Thakur, Padmini etc in it.

An affable presence, whether it be stage, screen or real life. And a soft and sweet voice – conversations of concern for humanity and society. A man of letters, well read, and well heard too, who continued to write till the end of his stay on this earth. A man of very impressive personality, who had the fortune of working with academic and social luminaries like Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, Dr. Zakir Hussain and Mahatma Gandhi. Balraj Sahni, a personality who could empathize with the issues of poverty and unemployment, from personal firsthand experience. And when he passed away, and was placed in state at his residence, besides a copy of Bhagwadgita, there was also placed near him a copy of ‘Das Kapital’ of Karl Marx, and tiny bust of Lenin. A man of the masses, whose roles in films like ‘Dharti Ke Lal’(1946), ‘Hum Log’ (1951), ‘Do Beegha Zameen’ (1953), ‘Heera Moti’ (1959) are a hallmark of simplicity and reality, roles that are a reflection of the mind of a thinker and a sensitive human being. It is more than coincidental that his birth anniversary is today, 1st of May, the day dedicated to the labor class. Today (1 may 2013), we celebrate the century year of his birth.
