“Sipahiya”(1949) is a movie few people have heard about, leave aside knowing about. Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia, has all the information about this movie, of course. Here is what he has to say about this obscure movie:
SIPAHIYA -1949 was a soldier’s story. A story of muted love and sacrifice. It was a Super Picture’s film, directed by Aspi Irani and the cast was Madhubala, Yakub, Agha, Kanhaiyalal, Kashmiri, Husn Banu etc. the lyricists were R M Chaturwedi, Arzoo Lucknowi, Raj Kunwar, Banwari and Rajendra Krishna.
Beautiful Rani(Madhubala) considers Bankelal(Yakub) as her Protector right from her childhood. Rani loved Raja(Agha), and the whole village knows this. The village ruffian, Rasiya, whenever he tries to get Rani alone, faces Bankelal and hence is against him.One day, in the village Mela, Baanke and and Rani are in one Tonga. The horse goes berserk and runs out of the village. Tonga is thrown off and both get unconcious. Back in the village, Rasia spreads a rumour that banke has kidnapped Rani. Angry villagers want to beat Bankelal. Next day when Bankelal brings Rani back to her house, Banke’s mother warns him and advises him to leave the village to avoid villagers’ wrath. He runs away and joins Army.
Banke wins several medals in Army and comes back to Village on furlough. By now everyone welcomes him. While leaving for duty, Raja wants to join Army. Rani requests Banke to protect his life.Unfortunately, in the war action Raja is declared missing and presumed dead. Banke returns to get Rani’s anger only.
Luckily. Raja survives and returns to village and gets married to Rani.
Banke returns to Army and soon news comes that Banke died in action, with bravery.
Two songs from this movie have been discussed in the past. Here is the third song from the movie. This song is sung by Lata and C Ramchandra. Rammurty Chaturvedi is the lyricist. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.
Only the audio of this song is available. Going by the story and cast of the movie, it appears that the song was picturised on Madhubala and Agha.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.

Lyrics(Provided by Nitin Shah)
ae aankh abb naa rona
rona to umr bhar hai ae
pi jaaye aansuon ko
bass wo jigar jigar hai
bass wo jigar jigar hai ae ae ae
ai aankh abb naa rona
rona to umr bhar hai
bedard zamaana yaa aa aa
bedard meri qismat
mil kar bhi mil naa paaye
ummeed pe guzar hai
ummeed pe guzar hai ae ae ae
ae aankh abb naa rona
rona to umr bhar hai ae
aankho mein aa ke theharo o o
yaa dil mein aa ke theharo
ye bhi tumhaara ghar hai
wo bhi tumhaara ghar hai
wo bhi tumhaara ghar hai ae ae
ae aankh abb naa rona
rona to umr bhar hai
ham dil to apna pehle hi
tum ko de chuke hain
ham dil to apna pehle hi
tum ko de chuke hain
ik jaan reh gai hai
to wo bhi abb nazar hai
wo bhi abb nazar hai ae ae ae
ai aankh abb naa rona
rona to umr bhar hai

A beautiful composition. This one of the rare songs in which C Ramchandra sings a soulful song.

I some how do not like his voice especially when he tries to imitate Talat as in Paigham failing forlonly and falling flat.
