DO SITARE-1951, a Famous Picture presentation was produced and directed by D D Kashyap, who also wrote its Story. Screenplay were by Rajinder Singh Bedi. The star cast consisted of Dev Anand, Suraiya, Premnath, Mumtaz, Shakuntala, Kuldip Kaur, Niranjan Sharma, Baij Sharma etc. The film had Lyrics by Rajinder Krishan and Music by Anil Biswas.
Our esteemed encyclopaedia Shri Arun Deshmukh had commented about this film as thus:
This was a movie when Dev Anand and Suraiyya were on top and almost every producer wanted to benefit from this popular loving couple. The story, dialogues and other sundries were immaterial for the makers as they were sure that crowds came only to see Dev and Suraiya, no matter what they did on the screen. The music however must be good as Anil Biswas was a sureshot winner hands down. In spite of all these, however, the film and their songs did not become that much popular.
The story of the film, in short:
Rani (Suraiya) loves Prakash (Dev Anand), who works in her father’s office. After few months, her father (Niranjan Sharma) wanted to get these lovebirds married, but the office owner, Seth Badri Prasad (Baij Sharma) objects, for the simple reason that his daughter Ruma (Kuldip Kaur) also loves Prakash. Sethji tries to force Prakash and Rani’s father with promotion and more salary, but they do not budge. Meanwhile Murari (Premnath) loves Lajo (Shakuntala) sister of Prakash. He also needs 25000 rupees for his project. Sethji promises him both things if he convinces Prakash to marry Ruma. Murari refuses to interfere.
When Rani’s father comes to know about this, he tries to steal money from sethji’s house and is caught red handed. Now the Sethji has the upper hand. Murari and Prakash hatch a secret plan against the Sethji. The plan succeeds and both love pairs, Rani-Prakash and Lajo-Murari get married with all elders’ blessings.
Let us enjoy the simple-worded song sung melodiously with full of pathos by Suraiyya.
Song-O Saajan Dekh (Do Sitaare)(1951) Singer-Suraiyya, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-Anil Biswas
Lyrics
o saajan dekh
is duniya se kya kya le ke jaate hain
o saajan dekh
is duniya se kya kya le ke jaate hain
tere kadmon mein marne ki tamanna le ke jaate hain
tere kadmon mein marne ki tamanna le ke jaate hain
o saajan dekh
is duniya se kya kya le ke jaate hain
o saajan dekh
tumhi se pyaar karne ki tamanna le ke aaye thhe ae ae ae
tumhi se pyaar karne ki tamanna le ke aaye thhe ae ae ae
tumhi se pyaar karne ki tamanna le ke jaate hain
tumhi se pyaar karne ki tamanna le ke jaate hain
o saajan dekh
is duniya se kya kya le ke jaate hain
o saajan dekh
yeh duniya pyaar ke kaabil na thhi ee
yeh duniya pyaar ke kaabil na thhi
hum kis tarhe milte
hum kis tarhe milte
milenge phir kabhi
bus yeh tamanna le ke jaate hain
milenge phir kabhi
bus yeh tamanna le ke jaate hain
o saajan dekh
is duniya se kya kya le ke jaate hain
o saajan dekh
