Teri galiyon mein ham aaye
Posted on: September 5, 2012
Today (5 september) is Salil Chaudhary’s death anniversary. Salil Chaudhary was one Hindi movie music. Or it would be more appropriate to say that he was a pioneer of Indian movie music. He composed music in movies of as many as ten languages. Majority of these movies were in Bangla, Hindi and Malayalam though.
If Salil Chaudhary was the music director of a song then one could take it for granted that a musical feast was in offer. It is reported that Salil Chaudhary was a good cook too and he got the ideas for several of his tunes while cooking a delicacy in his kitchen. I hope that I am not confusing Salil Chaudhary with some other cookery loving music director.
On the occasion of Salil Chaudhary’s death anniversary today, here is a memorable song from a lesser known movie called “Minoo”(1977). This movie was a Hena Films (Pvt.) ltd production. It was directed by Parshuram and Pushp Raj. The movie had Baby Moonmoon, Dinesh Thakur, Radha Saluja, Nandita Thakur, Padma Khanna, Jagdeep, Anwar Hussain, Dulari, Sudhir, Manmauji, Ranjeet Sood etc in it.
The movie has a serious strory line revolving around a small girl child. She is hoping that her mother will bring a small kid brother for her to play with. Her mother never returns from hospital. Her father remarries and the small girl’s world is not the same again.
As can be guessed, majority of Hindi movie goers are not matured enough to appreciate movies made on off beat and sensitive topics. Little wonder then that the movie had few takers and the movie was soon forgotten.
Fortunately the songs of this song cannot be forgotten if one gets the opportunity to listen to them.
Here is a song from “Minoo” (1977). It is sung by Manna Dey and Antara Chaudhary (Salil Chaudhary’s daughter). Yogesh is the lyricist.
The song is picturised on Anwar Hussain and Baby Moonmmon. It is a beggar song . I mentioned it earlier that the girl falls on hard days after the death of her mother.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

teri galiyon mein hum aaye
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
o teri galiyon mein hum aaye
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
dil ye armaanon bhara laaye
hum pe ho jaaye karam haaye jo tera
apni kismet bhi sanwar jaaye zara
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
dil ye armaanon bhara laaye
hum pe ho jaaye ka ….sanwar jaaye zara
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
zindagi teri bahaaron mein muskaaye sadaaa
tere daaman ko naa chhoo paaye gham ki hawaaa
zindagi teri bahaaron mein muskaaye sada
tere daaman ko naa chhoo paaye gham ki hawaaa
hum gareebon ki lage tujhko duaa
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
dil ye armaanon bhara laaye
hum pe ho jaaye karam haaye jo tera
apni kismet bhi sanwar jaaye zara
teri galiyon mein ham aaye ae ae
hamko shikwa hai kisi se na hamein koi gila
jo na de uska bhala
jo de uska bhala
hamko shikwa hai kisi se na hamein koi gila
jo na de uska bhala jo de uska bhala
jisne jo chaaha
kahaan usko mila
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
teri galiyon mein… hum aaye
dil ye armaanon… bhara laaye
hum pe ho jaaye karam haaye jo tera
apni kismet bhi sanwar jaaye zaraa
teri galiyon mein hum aaye ae ae
jaise majboor hain hum
koi majboor na ho
kissi ke mann ka mahal aise choor na ho
jaise majboor hain hum
koi majboor na ho
kisi ke mann ka mahal aise choor na ho
aise khushiyon se koi door na ho
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
teri galiyon mein hum aaye
dil ye armaanon bhara laaye
hum pe ho jaaye karam haaye jo tera
apni kismet bhi sanwar jaaye zaraa
teri galiyon mein hum aaye ae

I remember watching a special episode on one of the Indian channel, TV Asia in which Antara was interviewed by the host, Shiraz Sharif. She shared many memories of her Father with the viewers. Thanks Atulji and Prakashji for reminding this song.

Down memory lane … i have not watched this movie, but yes this song is in my permanent memory since childhood and in my list of ‘songs that bring back memories’. Remember, it was on radio frequently, may be on ‘Vividh Bharati’ as Alpana ji has noted.
And as rightly put up by Atul ji, these kind of songs cannot be forgotten if one gets to listen to them.

Music Director Salil Chowdhary co-produced this movie`s Kannada Version namely “Chinna Ninna Muddaaduve”(starring Late VishnuVardhan,Jayanthi,Ambarish-1977) and that kannada version was a hit in Karnataka and its music also appreciated very much(Songs sung by S.Janaki,Yesudass)
video link to the kannada song,(sung by S.P.Balasubramaniam, and Anita chowdhury(must be Antara chowdhury herself with a name containing a somewhat different spelling:Lyricist:R.N.Jayagopal)which has got the same tune(featuring Ambareesh,Baby Indira,M.N.Laxmidevi

I had to listen this song because Antara…yester day I saw her picture; in that her grendma(dadimaa) was holding her in her arms!
Presently, She has done lots of songs for the children.
Oh, what a lucky girl to sing with Manna Dey 🙂
