Jaan pehchaan to pahle se thhi
Posted on: October 2, 2009
Though this song is from a movie of 1970s, I had not heard this song before. This song is from “Bhala Maanus” (1979) and it had Randhir Kapoor and his would be sister in law Neetu Singh in lead roles. Kapoor Khaandaan men are known for figuring in this kind of casting. Here randhir Kapoor was at least acting opposite his (would be) sister in law, his uncles (Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor) in too acted opposite Babita (Randhir Kapoor’s wife) in several movies.
Though I never heard this song before, I loved the song the very first time that I listened to it. This song is composed by R D Burman, and it is written by Gulshan Baawra. Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle sing this song. This song shows the lead pair driving awy in various modes of locomotion, viz car, jeep, two wheelers, feet, etc.
This song sounds to wonderful. If this song still failed to get popular then the blame must go to the movie which obviously flopped big time. But then what did one expect of a movie where Randhgir Kapoor was the hero ? In those days, Fariyal was help as an exampl of an actress who wasted her career despite getting many opportunities. Randhir Kapoor was the male counterpart of Fariyal, that is for sure and he too wasted his opportiunities. In this movie, this great song got wasted on him.
Song-Jaan pahchaan to pahle se thi (Bhalaa Maanus) (1976)Singers-Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Gulshan Baawra, MD-R D Burman
Lyrics
jaan pehchaan to pahle se thi
hmm
aaj tujhe dil ne pahchaana
haan
aisa kuchh aaya tujhme nazar
kyaa
dil mera ho gaya deewaana
jaan pehchaan to pahle se thi
aaj tujhe dil ne pahchaana
aisa kuchh aaya tujhme nazar
dil mera ho gaya deewaana
ho
jaan pehchaan to pahle se thi
aaj tujhe dil ne pahchaana
yoon to mere hain kayi deewaane
apna maine tujhi ko maana
chalte chalte aise raste mein aa gaye hain
manzil ka ab pata nahi
ho
deke sahaara mujhko apni jawaan baanhon ka
le chal tu chaahe kahin
preet ki reet ye hoti hai
ek begaane ko apnaana
yoon to mere hain kayi deewaane
apna maine tujhi ko maana
ho jeewan ka saath hai ye
yoon hi nibhaayengen ham
tum ho jahaan main wahaan
mil ke basaayenge itne bade jahaan me
chhota sa apna jahaan
ho
pyaar hi pyaar se bhar denge
zindagaani ka afsaana
aisa kuchh aaya tujhme nazar
dil mera ho gaya deewaana
jaan pehchaan to pahle se thi
aaj tujhe dil ne pahchaana
lalalalalalalala
lalalalalalallala
lalalallalalallala
lalalllalalallala
