Naram naram ye hai garam garam

“Rangeela” (1953) was a movie produced and directed by Bhagwan. Not too m,any people are aware of this movie. Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our in house encyclopaedia on matters of obscure Hindi movies has this to say about this movie:-
After the phenomenal success of Albela-51,Master Bhagwan was in the seventh Heaven and floated his own production company,Bhagwan Art Productions and started making films after films,without realising that Albela’s success was mainly due to C.Ramchandra’s music and Geeta Bali.The result was as expected. Slowly but steadily,Bhagwan started going into the trap of hugh debts due to unsuccessful films produced by him.
After a while,a day came when Bhagwan had to sell one by one all of his 10 cars,Bungalow etc and at the end of his career,he had to live in a one room tenement in a chawl,on the very street in Dadar named after his own uncle.
RANGEELA-1953 was one of the early failures of Bhagwan,in the series of future flops, begining the iminent decline in few more years to come. This film was produced and directed by Bhagwan himself.
This was a story of a village boy-Babulal, who is eager to study in school, but due to his wicked stepmother,has to do household chores instead.Fed up of this and to try his luck, he runs away to Bombay,where he meets Vidya Devi, a kind and young school teacher,who not only helps him but also starts teaching him,seeing his earnestness.Over a period,to sustain himself, Babulal,who was called Buddhu in his village gets educated and also sells Chana, near to his school. Duely, he becomes a successful businessman,owning a shop,house etc. He is under the impression that Vidya Devi is in his love, but he is disillusioned when he hears a conversation between Vidya and her would be husband. Vidya refers to him as a good and honest student only.
Babulal learns that his father is in financial troubles and his house is up for auction. To help father,he collects all his money and is about to leave for village,when he learns that Vidya’s marriage to her fiance is in trouble,as Vidya’s father can not gather that much money.
Babulal is in two minds.Finally.he gives the money to her father for marriage,sells his shop,business and house to collect money and leaves for the village to help father.
The entire story went on predicted lines and did not succeed.
As mentioned in the story of this movie, Bhagwan sells chana in the movie. And that gives us a song of a rare genre, viz a sales pitch song where chana zor vendor o=is selling his wares. To this day the most popular chana zor songs of all time has to be Chane jor garam babu from “Bandhan”(1938) swhich was sung by Kavi Pradeep. Then we had another song of this genre in “Naya Andaaz” (1956) which went Chana zor garam babu main laayaa mazedaar . In 1981, we had a chana zor song in “Kranti”
The song under discussion is an obscure song in comparison to the above well known songs of the genre. This song is sung by Rafi. S H Bihari is the lyricist. Music is composed by Jamal Sen. As mentioned above, this song was picturised on Bhagwan.

Lyrics(Provided by nahm)
ah haa haa haa
naram naram
yeh hai garam garam
naram naram
yeh hai garam garam
yeh chane gagan ke taare
do paise ki cheez mein dekho
laakhon gun hain pyaare
laakhon gun hain pyaare
o o o
bachhe khaayen boodhe khaayen
khaayen race ke ghode
yeh khaayen race ke ghode
do mutthhi jo roz chabaaye
sab ki gardan tode
o laala ji
seth ji
o baabuji
sab ki gardan tode
chane khilaayee kar
jisey ladaaye jo
kabhi na baazi haare
woh kabhi na baazi haare
do paise ki cheez mein dekho
laakhon gun hain pyaare
laakhon gun hain pyaare
oooooo ooooooo
suited booted dhanwaalon ka
poora shauq kare
yeh poora shaug kare
nirdhan dukhiyoon mazdooron ka
nis din pet bhare
qadar chane ki jaane woh jo
tadpe bhookh ke maare
tadpe bhook ke maare
arey do paise ki cheez mein dekho
laakhon gun hain pyaare
laakhon gun hain pyaare
o o o o o o
chane wataane bech ke dekho
bane hain saahukaar
ham bane hain saahukaar
yaad rakho yeh baat ke mehnat
jaati nahin bekaar
jeet ussi ki hai duniyaa mein
jo himmat na haare
jo himmat na haare
do paise ki cheez mein dekho
laakhon gun hain pyaare
laakhon gun hain pyaare
naram naram
yeh hai garam garam
ye hai naram naram
yeh hai garam garam
yeh chane gagan ke taare
chane gagan ke taare
do paise ki cheez mein dekho
laakhon gun hain pyaare
laakhon gun hain pyaare
