O meri jaan bachnaa
Posted on: September 25, 2011
“Faislaa” (1965) was a quintessential B grade movie produced by Jugal Kishore Productions. It was directed by Jugal Kishore. The movie had Sheikh Mukhtar, Jagdeep,L. Vijayalaxmi, Jugal Kishore, Jeevan, Sulochana Chatterji, Niranjan Sharma,Helen etc.
Two movies of this song, which became somewhat popular are available on YT and I have discussed them already.
This movie had other songs too, but they are difficult to find and they are not all that well known.
Here is a rare song from this movie. It is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and C Ramchandra. Asad Bhopali is the lyricist and Usha Khanna composed the music.
C Ramchandra used to sing quite a few songs in his heydays, viz in 1950s. In fact, it has been estimated that he sang over 100 songs in movies during his career ! C Ramchandra already has a century of his songs as a music director in the blog and It is my fond wish to see another century of C Ramchandra songs- this time as a playback singer. This song is the 27th song of C Ramchandra as a playback singer in this blog.
Only the audio of this song is available so one can only make guesses about the picturisation. It appears that two people are driving a rusty old vehicle on the road and singing this song, cautioning other road users to take care.
I have not been able to get the lyrics right to my satisfaction and there are quite a few gaps/errors. I request our readers with keener ears to point out the missing/ corrected words so that we may be able to enjoy this rare song even more.
Song-O meri jaan bachnaa (Faisla) (1965) Singers-Mahendra Kapoor, C Ramchandra, Lyrics-Asad Bhopali, MD-Usha Khanna

Gosh……..I never knew CR ever sang for other MDs! He had a very nice voice and style, but I thought he only sang for films for which he was the MD himself……….any other films where he sang for a different MD?
