April fool banaaya to unko gussa aaya
Posted on: September 3, 2008
This song, which was almost forgotten by the new generation, got a new lease of life in 1980s when this song was included in a scene in “Andhaa Kanoon” where Rajnikant outsmarts his police inspector sister Hema Malini, when the latter tries to record his confessions to crimes in a hidden tape recorder. Unknown to her, Rajnikant ensures that the song “april fool banaya” replaces his confession in the tape. The finer details of how Rajnikant did that, unnoticed to everyone are not known to us mortals. Ranjikant could move faster than light, and so the detailed technical geek work involved in this may have totally eluded our limited sensory organs.
Coming to the song itself, Rafi sings this song with gusto, as was his wont, and a song that should have been little more than a timepass song has become an evergreen fun song as a result. Hasrat, as we have seen earlier, was adept in writing superb comical songs, and this song is one such example. Shankar Jaikishan, of course, ruled the roost as music directors those days, and they could do nothing wrong as music directors.
The song was picturised on Biswajeet (poor man’s Shammi Kapoor) and Saira Bano. This song was released towards the end of 1964 and this prevented the song from finishing any higher than 25th in the Binaca geetmala final of 1964.

Lyrics
April fool banaayaa to unko gussaa aayaa
to meraa kyaa qasoor zamaane kaa qasoor
jisne dastoor banaayaa
April fool banaayaa to unko gussaa aayaa
to meraa kyaa qasoor zamaane kaa qasoor
jisne dastoor banaayaa
April fool banaayaa
dilbar o jaan-e-jaanaan gusse ke roop mein lagti ho aur haseen
dilbar o jaan-e-jaanaan gusse ke roop mein lagti ho aur haseen
teri qaatil adaa ne maar hi daalaa kar lo tum iskaa yaqeen
teri qaatil adaa ne maar hi daalaa kar lo tum iskaa yaqeen
you farebi
April fool banaayaa to unko gussaa aayaa
to meraa kyaa qasoor zamaane kaa qasoor
jisne dastoor banaayaa
April fool banaayaa to unko gussaa aayaa
to meraa kyaa qasoor zamaane kaa qasoor
jisne dastoor banaayaa
April fool banaayaa
dil se dil ki pahchaan huyi jaagi muhabbat gaane lagi zindagi
dil se dil ki pahchaan huyi jaagi muhabbat gaane lagi zindagi
hamne duniyaa mein aa kar wo roop dharaa zindaa huyi aashiqui
hamne duniyaa mein aa kar wo roop dharaa zindaa huyi aashiqui
you makkaar
April fool banaayaa to unko gussaa aayaa
to meraa kyaa qasoor zamaane kaa qasoor
jisne dastoor banaayaa
April fool banaayaa to unko gussaa aayaa
to meraa kyaa qasoor zamaane kaa qasoor
jisne dastoor banaayaa
April fool banaayaa
