There is a lot of discussion, heated debate, controversy etc. etc. on plagiarism. Given that the entire structure of the music world is founded on simply seven basic notes. Yes, we go on to sub notes and compound notes, and then ragas (combination of notes). But to the uninitiated, and untrained in classical music (like myself), it seems well nigh impossible that one can continue to keep on creating new songs and do not repeat a melody. Every day, hundreds, maybe thousands of new songs are born. It is really an amazing wonder that we do not find many more replications, than we already do.
But of course, yes, we do find repeats, and we call it ‘chori’. There is a lot of heat and heartburn created. But come to think of it, there is possibly one very good reason that such replications may happen. The poet has written some verses, and the music director, try as hard as he might, just cannot come up with a better or different melody that does not match another well known melody. It is the meter and the verse structure that simply cannot be sung better in any other way. So in a manner of speaking, there can be no better acknowledgement and tribute by the music director to the original creator, that try as much as he did, he could not come up with a better melody to suit the verses. After all, there are only so many ragas and it is only natural that many verse structures simply demand the same combination of notes.
One is familiar with the famous exchange between Sajjaad Husain and Madan Mohan. The melody of the song “Tujhe Kya Sunaa’un Main Dilruba” (‘Aakhri Daao’, 1958), is a clear replication of “Ye Hawa Ye Raat Ye Chandni” (‘Sangdil’, 1952). And so, when Sajjad Sb confronted Madan Mohan in a film-land party, and accused him of stealing his tunes, Madan Mohan’s reply was quite disarming. He said that he is happy that he has “stolen” from a master craftsman, and not from any Tom, Dick, Harry of the music world. That is an deserving acknowledgement, and a tribute to the skills and talent of a master.
The film ‘Jungle Boy’ from 1963 makes its debut here on our blog today. It is one of the more obscure and unfamiliar films from 1963. But gratefully, some music of this film is available, in the form of two 78 rpm records, meaning four songs. Not well heard songs at all. As I am preparing this write up, I listened to all four songs, and my, they are all so lovely – two in the voice of Geeta Dutt and two in the voice of Sudha Malhotra.
About the film, well very limited information is available. The production banner is But-Kada (बुत कदा), Bombay and the director is S Pal. Just the cast of actors is listed – Indira, Shaam Kumar, Raj Rani, Heera Sawant, Vrinda, Lila, Ridku, Swaroop, Robert, Harun, Gulab. Except the lead pair’s names, and maybe one or two more, the entire list is quite unfamiliar.
The fours songs of this film are written by Anjaan. And the music is by the enigmatic duo Suresh-Talwar, about whom really no information is available. Except that the name Suresh, is the same person as the Gujarati music director Suresh Shah. This pair was confined mainly to C grade action and stunt films, but as it happens more often than not, their music is really catching and delightful. For this song, they have gone back a decade and picked up a well known melody from ‘Halaaku’ (1956). Listen, and you will know. 🙂
The strength of this song (given that we could easily identify the source melody) is the singing voice of Sudha ji. Sounding so sweet and fresh, her singing brings a delightful vitality of this song of first love. The lines by Anjaan are lovely. Especially, when she renders in the second antaraa, the lines
pehle ghabraayee
thoda sharmaayee
phir dil de hi diya ha..aaye
Aah, such coy innocence, she simply steals away the heart with the words and the way she sings them. Suniye, and feel, how lovely this song and this rendering is.
Song – Ye Dhak Dhak Kya Hai, Kya Dil Ko Hua Hai (Jungle Boy) (1963) Singer – Sudha Malhotra, Lyrics – Anjaan, MD – Suresh-Talwar
Lyrics
ye dhak dhak kya hai
kya dil ko hua hai
koi to samjhaaye
ye kis ka nasha hai
ho oo kya hua
ha..aaye kya hua
ye dhak dhak kya hai
kya dil ko hua hai
koi to samjhaaye
ye kis ka nasha hai
ho oo kya hua
ha..aaye kya hua
jaane kaisa teer tha nigaahon mein be-peer ke
rakh diya julmi ne dil mera chiir ke
o jaane kaisa teer tha nigaahon mein be-peer ke
rakh diya julmi ne dil mera chiir ke
thha to bhola bhola
kuchh bhi na bola
akhiyon se jaadu kiya ha..aaye
ye dhak dhak kya hai
kya dil ko hua hai
koi to samjhaaye
ye kis ka nasha hai
ho oo kya hua
ha..aaye kya hua
o jab se kisi se ye dil takra gaya
lut gaya dil haaye mujhe to mazaa aa gaya
jab se kisi se ye dil takra gaya
lut gaya dil haaye mujhe to mazaa aa gaya
pehle ghabraayee
thoda sharmaayee
phir dil de hi diya ha..aaye
ye dhak dhak kya hai
kya dil ko hua hai
koi to samjhaaye
ye kis ka nasha hai
ho oo kya hua
ha..aaye kya hua
ye dhak dhak kya hai
kya dil ko hua hai
koi to samjhaaye
ye kis ka nasha hai
ho oo kya hua
ha..aaye kya hua

ये धक धक क्या है
क्या दिल को हुआ है
कोई तो समझाये
ये कैसा नशा है
हो ओ क्या हुआ
हा॰॰आए क्या हुआ
ये धक धक क्या है
क्या दिल को हुआ है
कोई तो समझाये
ये कैसा नशा है
हो ओ क्या हुआ
हा॰॰आए क्या हुआ
जाने कैसा तीर था निगाहों में बेपीर के
रख दिया जुल्मी ने दिल मेरा चीर के
ओ जाने कैसा तीर था निगाहों में बेपीर के
रख दिया जुल्मी ने दिल मेरा चीर के
था तो भोला भोला
कुछ भी ना बोला
अखियों से जादू किया हा॰॰आए
ये धक धक क्या है
क्या दिल को हुआ है
कोई तो समझाये
ये कैसा नशा है
हो ओ क्या हुआ
हा॰॰आए क्या हुआ
ओ जब से किसी से ये दिल टकरा गया
लुट गया दिल हाए मुझे तो मज़ा आ गया
पहले घबराई
थोड़ा शर्माइ
फिर दिल दे ही दिया हा॰॰आए
ये धक धक क्या है
क्या दिल को हुआ है
कोई तो समझाये
ये कैसा नशा है
हो ओ क्या हुआ
हा॰॰आए क्या हुआ
ये धक धक क्या है
क्या दिल को हुआ है
कोई तो समझाये
ये कैसा नशा है
हो ओ क्या हुआ
हा॰॰आए क्या हुआ

The Mukhda of this song resembles very much with Halaku Song …”Yeh Chand Aur Sitare” . Music by Shanker Jaikishen.
