As I have written in my last post, this film Angoor (1982) is based on William Shakespeare’s Comedy Of Errors. Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma play the two pairs of twins who get separated in childhood. Both the characters played by Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma are named Ashok and Bahadur respectively, where the Bahadurs are servants of the Ashoks. One Ashok with one Bahadur live in one town, while the other pair lives in some other. A big confusion arises, when one pair comes to the town where the other pair lives. To add to the confusion, one pair is married, to Moushumi Chatterjee and Aruna Irani respectively, while the other is still unmarried. Deepti Naval plays the sister-in-law of the married Ashok. Now, if you are pulling your hair out of confusion, I won’t blame you! But that is the stuff, of which Comedy Of Errors is made of!

This is the first song from the film Angoor (1982) to appear on this blog. Although this film enjoys quite a popularity, the songs hardly became popular among the masses. The musical score has remained an insider’s tip for Pancham and Gulzar fans.

I have heard this song after some 20 years or so today. A regular song on Vividh Bharati. They played both Rafi Sahab and Chandrani Mukherjee’s versions frequently. Like many of those Rafi and Lata solo version songs, this one too is in memory, with one line following the other in the mind. So typing the lyrics is fast work. I thought the female version must be Lata’s. But it turns out that the female singer is Chandrani Mukherjee, who is gamely trying to match Rafi sahab pitch for pitch. On radio she sounded a lot better than on the ear phones on which I heard it now. The ear phones have no heart and no mercy for even the greatest of singers, so none are spared.

The movie boasted of some big names in its starcast, viz.

The story line of the movie unfortunately was meant to appeal to masochists and their numbers were dwindling among movie goers. As a result this movie failed at the box office.
