Chale thhe saath milkar
Posted on: January 6, 2009
To this date, I have not been able to understand how Shashi Kapoor survived for so long as a hero. I have noticed that most of his sucessful movies succeeded because he figured in multi starrers, where other stars carried the movie on their shoulders. And on the few occasions where Shashi Kapoor was the solo hero, the movie succeeded because of the music rather than because of Shashi Kapoor’s great histrionics. Do not tell me that “chor Machaaye shor”, for instance owes its success to Shashi Kapoor, and not to its music.
May be I am being wise after the fact, but then hindsight is always 20/20. And here I present a song from one movie where Shashi kapoor was the sole hero and the movie was a box office success. This was the first time where a Shashi Kapoor movie had proved to be a hit.
Unsurprisingly, the music of this movie was a hit too. It would have been interesting to note the fate of the movie had the music of this movie failed. 😉
Here is one of the most memorable songs from this movie. It is a piano song and it was written by Akhtar Romani ( how many have heard his name ?). Rafi was the playback singer.

Song-Chale the saath milkar (Haseena Maan Jaayegi) (1968) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Akhtar Romani, MD-Kalyanji Anandji
Lyrics
chale the saath mil ke chalenge saath mil kar
chale the saath mil ke chalenge saath mil kar
tumhen ruknaa padegaa meri aawaaz sun kar
chale the saath mil ke chalenge saath mil kar
tumhen ruknaa padegaa meri aawaaz sun kar
chale the saath mil ke
ho
hamaari jaan le lengi tumhaari ye adaayen
hamen jeene na dengi tumhaari ye nigaahen
samajh lo baat dil ki tumhen denge duaayen
chale the saath mil ke chalenge saath mil kar
tumhen ruknaa padegaa merii aawaaz sun kar
chale the saath mil ke
badaa pyaasaa hai ye dil ise madhosh kar do
bhadak uthe hain shole inhen khaamosh kar do
hamaaraa hosh le lo hamen behosh kar do
chale the saath mil ke chalenge saath mil kar
tumhen ruknaa padegaa merii aawaaz sun kar
chale the saath mil ke

Some people just have all the luck. Must be all the good Karma from this or the previous life :).

Hey, another of my farmaish songs being posted.
Looks like Atul is catching up on backlog. 🙂
Little does he know that the more he clears, the more that are going to land up in his inbox. 😉
Thanks for posting this, Atul.
In this particular song, Shashi is quite good.
And the song is Rafi saab’s of course.
So I do not need to say anything.
