When I came across the name of this film ‘Ek Khilaadi Baawan Pattey-1972’ in HFGK, I became curious and I started looking for its songs.
This film has a total of five songs. Four of the songs are sung by Asha Bhonsle and the balance one song is sung by Omi.
I was not aware much about Om Prakash Sonik (of the Sonik-Omi duo) as a ‘singer’. But when I listened to this song, I found it an interesting song. This song, sung by Omi is from ‘Ek Khilaadi Baawan Pattey-1972’, which is making its debut on the blog.
We already have two songs posted earlier in the blog that have the voice of Omi; One is from the film Mahua-1969 and the other one is from Dharma-1973.
Omi gets to sing only a few lines in the above two songs, but the song being presented today is a solo song by Omi, and during the preparation of this post I noted that he has a few more solo songs to his credit.
Here is brief information about Om Prakash Sonik as taken from ‘myswar.com’;
“Om Prakash Sonik was born in Sialkot and moved to Bombay in 1948 at the age of eight.
In his career, he partnered with his uncle Manohar Lal Sonik and created some memorable songs together. Om Prakash was a chorus singer and then assistant to music director Roshan before branching off as a music director.
Sonik-Omi debuted as music directors with the film “Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya” (1966) and all the nine songs went on to become hits.Omprakash Sonik was half of the uncle-nephew music director duo Sonik-Omi. He was also a playback singer in his own right.
In the beginning of his career Omi had to join a female chorus to avoid starvation. It wasn’t until 1959 that his luck changed and he became an assistant with music director Roshan.
As a singer he has sung with the likes of Asha Bhonsle, Parveen Babi, Mahendra Kapoor, Mohammad Rafi, Narendra Chanchal, Bhupinder Singh and Jaani Babu Qawwal. Most of the songs he sung have been composed by them. Two other music directors he has sung for are K. Babuji in “Naya Bakra” (1979) and B.N. Bali in “Do Dilwaale” (1977).”
I must add here that while browsing through the list of films Sonik-Omi has composed music for, I realized that many of the songs which I like and which are in my list of ‘songs that bring back memories’ are Sonic Omi compositions !
There were many songs that I keep enjoying without knowing that these were composed by Sonik-Omi (for example I thought that the music of Mahua was composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal)
‘Ek Khilaadi Baawan Pattey-1972’ was directed by Ravi Khanna for ‘Art India Movies, Bombay’. It was produced by Ashok Roy, one time associate of J.Omprakash ji, and this was his first film as a Producer.
Its cast includes Dev Kumar, Naqi Jahaan, Laxmi Chhaya, Jr.Mehmood, Mohan Choti, Sajjan, Dulari, Padma, C.S.Dube, Brahm Bharadwaj, Satyen Kappu, Ravi Khanna, Master Manoj, Master Ravi, Baby Padmini, Sadhana Khote, Lata Arora, Virender, Nishan Singh, Sushila, Premji, Raj Narayan, June Maxworth. Tarun Bose makes a friendly appearance in the film while Vinod Khanna had a ‘special role’ in the film.
When I listened to the video of the song for the first time, I noted down the lyrics, and happily finding an audio link too, I copied its link and pasted it in the draft without listening to it.
However, finally, just before sharing the post to Atul ji I listened to the audio and was surprised because it had two additional ‘antaras’ which were not there in the video link.
In the video the song is played in the background with the ‘titles’ of the movie and it contain only the first starting lines and mukhda of the song.
Thinking it that the two antaras may be in the background somewhere in the movie I decided to watch this movie online. I am not comfortable with watching movie online, but I watched the movie online completely(my first), in two parts – watching its first one hour in one spell and then coming back to watch the balance 50 minutes of the film after a gap of almost 20/25 days. But, this song does not appear in the movie again (at least not in the version that I watched online).
Though the movie is interesting to watch and it keeps one engaged till the end, I do not know how successful it was at the box office. ( I may take up adding the ‘review’ of this movie some time later in the future, or try to post it with some other song from this movie)..
Till then enjoy this wonderful song …
