Panghat ko chali panihaari
Posted on: April 27, 2013
“Panghat” (1943) is a Prakash pictures movie which was produced by Vijay Bhatt and directed by K J Parmar and Mahesh Chandra. There was not much known about this movie, but thanks to Mr Arunkumar’s comments about this movie in another song of “Panghat”, we now have a good idea about the story of this movie as well as about the actors.
Here is what Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh had to say about this movie:
The story is very interesting and will remind the readers of a popular and famous film of 1976 with melodious music.
Jamunaprasad Chaturvedi(Jeevan-who was Onkarnath Dhar in real life, but known as O K Dhar Kashmiri in the 30s) son of Durgaprasad Chaturvedi, is an orthodox Bramhin Zamindar who has built a community Well to fill water for everybody in the surrounding villages. His wife Mrs Shantidevi(Leela) and he are popular. When his daughter Radha grows up, he fixes her marriage with Mohan(Umakant Desai) son of Trivedi, a big businessman from other village.
Kiran, son of Ganga Prasad arrives instead of Mohan and is welcomed by them, mistaking him for Mohan. Kiran is loved by Jamuna prasad ,his wife and also Radha. After some time when the real identity of Kiran is revealed Jamuna and his wife begin to cold shoulder him and he is suggested in various ways to leave. Then Mohan arrives and realises the mistake but finally sacrifices for the sake of the lovers and the end is good.
By now, it must be clear that the story is same as that of CHITCHOR(1976) where Amol Palekar and Zarina Wahab had starred.
Rajkumari has done the role of Jyoti, Heroine’s friend and the Heroine Radha is played by Alaknanda. Kiran kumar is played by Sushil Kumar.
Three songs from this movie have been discussed in the past. Here is the fourth song from the movie.
All sources mention this song as a solo song sung by Rajkumari. But listening to the song as well as watching the picturisation, it becomes clear that Rajkumari has sung just a few lines in the song. The song has the voices of another three female singers who in fact sing more lines than Rajkumari. Most of the singing is done by the chorus.
I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the actresses in the picturisation as well as the unidentified voices in the song. On my part I can only identify Alaknanda. another interesting thing to note is that the Rajkumari Shukla who acts in this movie (as saheli of Alaknanda) is different from the singer Rajkumari who has sung this song.
Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by S N Tripathi.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.
There are a few places in the lyrics that need correction. I request our readers with keener ears to help suggest the right words there.

panihaari lachak na jaana
panihaari ho panihari
panihari lachak na jaana
ghada hai tera bhaari re
panihaari re
ghada hai tera bhaari re
panihaari re
panghat ko chali panihaari
panghat ko chali panihaari
panihaari re
jis panghat lehraaye ho
saavan baarah maas
uss panghat pyaasi khadi
piya milan ki aas
kyun pehna gulaabi dupatta

mohe panghat main panghat ki pyaari re
mohe panghat main panghat ki pyaari re
panihaari re
panghat ko chali panihaari
panghat ko chali panihaari
panihaari re
dheere kheencho bagal mein (?) paani

dheere kheencho bagal mein (?) paani
ghabraave hai naazuk jawaani
ghabraave hai naazuk jawaani
dekho dhoondhe na neendiya ki naari
dekho dhoondhe na neendiya ki maari re
panihari re
panghat ko chali panihaari
panghat ko chali panihaari
panihaari re
