Sajna mera dil tera dil gayaa mil
Posted on: July 6, 2010
In Bollywood movies, the main theme of the story is love between the lead actors. One variant of this theme in 1960s was love affair between a doctor and a nurse. “Dil Apna Aur Preet Paraayi” (1960) is a movie on this theme that readily comes to mind. Here Meena Kumari, the nusre has a one sided crush on Raj Kumar, the doctor.This movie and this theme must have appealed to the movie makers, because a few more movies like this followed in its wake.
“Jhoola” (1962) too has a similar story line. Here Sunil Dutt plays the doctor and Vyjyanti Mala plays the nurse.
Here is a song from this movie, where Vyjyanti Mala expresses her feelings to Sunil Dutt. This song is a swimming pool song too, in the sense that she does to the top platform of a swimming pool and is supposed to dive from there too the pool (she is not shown diving of course) and then this song commences.
The song is sung by Lata and the picturisation shows Vyjyanti mala, immersed in a pool singing this song to Sunil Dutt, who very conveniently keeps himself dry by standing at the side of the pool.
Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist and Salil Chaudhary composed the music. This song has the same mesmerising effect on its audience that I have come to associate with all Salil Chaudhary songs. One can experience the feelings of love as one listens to this song, even though the song was composed some half a century ago. This is what timeless music is all about.
Song-Sajna mera dil teraa dil gayaa mil (Jhoola) (1962) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-Salil Chaudhary

Vyjayantimala is not shown diving because she didn’t know how to swim. That’s actually how she met her doctor husband Dr Bali (she nearly drowned once and he took care of her).
