Soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaanaa
Posted on: November 18, 2009
In Shammi Kapoor movies, it is Shammi Kapoor who normally gives ladies a hard time, but in this song, it is Shammi Kapoor who finds himself at the receiving end. This is a swimming pool song, and Shammi Kapoor finds himself inside the pool, and he is seen trying to stay afloat.
Sadhana and her friends offer no helping hand, rather they sing a song making fun of Shammi Kapoor. This is a refreshing change from the usual Shammi Kapoor movie songs.
This song is sung by Lata. Shailendra is the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan composed the song.
This is a swimming pool song, and it is a refreshing scene to see Sadhana is a swimming costume. Heroines in a swimming costume was ( still is) regarded as a “bold” scene for them in Bollywood movies and there have been many self righteous actresses over the yeras who would give statements like “I would never give a swimming scene as I am against revealing”. Most actresses making such statements did not have the figure fit for such “revealing” and that could be the reason for their stand against “swimming” scenes.

Lyrics
Soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ka lagaana
soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ka lagaana
soorat haseen
aaya kahaan se na ghar hai na baar hai
ho o o
aaya kahaan se na ghar hai na baar hai
akde hai aisa ke jaise thanedaar hai
manzil benaam koi na thikaana
manzil benaam koi na thikaana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ka lagaana
soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ka lagaana
soorat haseen
aankhen ladaata hai maane na kahnaa
ho o o
aankhen ladaata hai maane na kahnaa
aise anaadi se bach ke hi rahnaa
zaalim shareer kaafi hai puraana
zaalim shareer kaafi hai puraana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ko lagaana
soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ka lagaana
soorat haseen
dekhe kahin bhi jo kaliyaan ghulaab ki
ho o o
dekhe kahin bhi jo kaliyaan ghulaab ki
neeyat badlti hai fauran janaab ki
matlab ki baat karta hai sayaana
matlab ki baat karta hai sayaana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ko lagaana
soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ka lagaana
soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
soorat haseen lagtaa hai deewaana
aise naujawaan se kyaa dil ka lagaana
soorat haseen

I think Sadhana, and other “exposers” (Sharmila Tagore, etc) were quite OK to look at in those swimming costumes. Some of those who came later, in supposedly fitness conscious era of 1980s and 1990s- e.g. Sri Devi etc were horribly thunder thighed though

Yes, not too much was known about fitness in those days as thunder thighs will attest to!
