Bheeni bheeni chaandni raat
Posted on: August 31, 2013
“Rimjhim”(1949) was a Hindustan Cine Production movie. It was directed by Ramesh Gupta and Sushr Sahu. The movie had Kishore Sahu, Mubarak, Ramola, Mohana, Jankidas, A. Shah, Narmada Shanker, Amir Banu, Mumtaz Ali etc in it.
Here is what Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia, has to say about this movie:
RIMJHIM(1949), a Hindusthan Chitra film, was produced by Kishor Sahu, who also did the story, screenplay and dialogues. His younger brother Sushil Sahu and Ramesh Gupta directed the film. Music was by Khemchand Prakash and the lyricists were Bharat Vyas, P L Santoshi, Kumud Tripathi( who later did comedian’s roles in many films, the notable being, Apradhi Kaun), and Moti B.A.
The story was that Rammo(Ramola) runs away from her house to avoid her marriage to a fat man she did not like, in a Man’s attire. She meets Kamal(Kishor Sahu) who helps her and marries her after few reels. The niece of their employer(Mubarak),named Mona(Mohana) declares her love for Kamal, creating a love triangle.
This was a musical comedy, romance film, which included some very classic songs from Shamshad Begum.
Four songs from this movie have been discussed in the past. This movie had ten songs in all and the other songs do not seem to be available on YT. So it follows that we need to be proactive and we have to upload the remaining songs ourselves if we want to discuss all the songs from this movie. And that is what we will do.
Here is the fifth song from the movie. This song is sung by Mohana. Only the audio of this song is available but it is clear that the song was picturised on Mohana herself. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by Khemchand Prakash.
This song is not just another song though. In Hindi movies, most songs are based on Indian classical ragas, or folk music, or even western pop music, but here is a song that is very much sung in the manner of a western classical song !
I heard this song for the first time only just now. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on this song. I also request our knowledgeable readers to tell us about Mohana, because nothing seems to be available about her online.
Song-Bheeni bheeni chaandni raat (Rimjhim)(1949) Singer-Mohana, Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-Khemchand Prakash
Lyrics
bheeni bheeni chaandi raat
bole bulbul pyaar ki baat
tere bina dil mera
ho raha beqaraar
thandi thandi ye hawa
jiya mora dol raha
aise mein tu hai kahaan
tera hai intezaar
dil ko kar ke choor choor
na ja hamse door door
hua kya hamse qusoor
mere bewafa huzoor
shabnam(?) ki pyaari barsaat
ham tum bheege saath
phir na aayegi ye raat
aao kar len pyaar ki baat
bheeni bheeni chaandni raat
bole bulbul pyaar ki baat
tere bina dil mera
ho raha beqaraaaaaar
