Atul ji’s 10K Song Milestone Celebrations – 9
——————————————————————–
I am an Atulite and I am proud of it. It is an honor to be associated with a blog that drips pure love of music. Like almost all Indians I love Hindi film music. But I cannot claim to be knowledgeable about it. I do know many songs but that is not a qualification. There are thousands of songs out there, many of which have fallen into oblivion. It is the die-hard music lovers that keep track of these songs and chase them with an assiduity that would make Sherlock Holmes feel jealous.
I am amazed when some of my friends are able to name the movie, singer, lyricist and music director as soon as the song is mentioned. Some Atulites could also tell you charming little stories behind the making of each song. Delving here, I have discovered gorgeous songs that not much known but are as precious as Koh-i-Noor.
It is all kudos to Atul who has, with his magnetic personality, been able to draw so many music lovers into a tight community called Atulites. Congratulations to Atul for the personal landmark of 10000 individual postings. I know the people here, and I know this is merely a stepping stone for many more such achievements.
I have sneaked in newer songs on the blog, often from the current year, to even out the pre-70s bias that this blog has. It is a bias that is perfectly understandable if you listen to the quality of early songs. Nothing that is created now comes close to the kind of music that was once created. Yet, some of the newer songs have a beautiful melody that lingers in your mind.
A little while back some of my friends played a game on facebook where you had to mention the movie you liked best from the year you were born till the current time. Almost all my friends felt they would not be able to name a movie after the 80s. Surprisingly, there was at least one movie per year that qualified to be listed as a good movie. Good movies are still being made and nice music is still being composed. We still have singers who bring a lot of feeling to their songs and lyrics that convey a depth of feeling.
‘Wake Up Sid’ is a 2009 movie starring Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma. It is an odd pair. Ranbir Kapoor is a popular sweetheart and Konkana is an art house favorite. Yet they came together in this quirky film that worked on many levels. As the title of the movie shows, it is primarily about a spoilt rich boy who learns to make his way in the world. It is also about a small town girl who learns how to survive in a big city. Even though she is very sure of what she wants in life, she finds it hard to reconcile with the fact that she has fallen for a younger man.
Time was when songs were sung by the hero and heroine running around in pleasant locales. Now cinema has taken a more realistic turn and songs are more often in the background, depicting the mood of actors. This song is also played in background and has the same feel as a song sung by a wandering mendicant in earlier films.

o re manwa tu toh baawra hai
tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai
tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai baawre
kyon dikhaye sapne tu sotey jaagte
jo barse sapne boond boond
naino ko moond moond
naino ko moond moond
jo barse sapne boond boond
naino ko moond moond
kaise main chaloon
dekh na sakoon
anjaane raaste
goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara
goonja sa hai koi iktara
goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara
goonja sa hai koi iktara
dil me bole koi iktara iktara
dil me bole koi iktara iktara
goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara
goonja sa hai koi iktara
sun rahi hoon sudh budh khoke
koi main kahaani
poori kahaani hai kya
kise hai pata
main to kisiki hoke yeh bhi na jaani
rut hai yeh do pal ki ya
rahegi sadaa
kise hai pataa
kise hai pataa
kise hai pataa
jo barse sapne boond boond
naino ko moond moond
naino ko moond moond
jo barse sapne boond boond
naino ko moond moond
kaise main chaloon
dekh na sakoon
anjaane raaste

ओ रे मनवा तू तो बावरा है
तू ही जाने तू क्या सोचता है
तू ही जाने तू क्या सोचता है बावरे
क्यों दिखाये सपने तू सोते जागते
जो बरसे सपने बूंद बूंद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
जो बरसे सपने बूंद बूंद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
कैसे मैं चलूँ
देख ना सकूँ
अञ्जाने रास्ते
गूँजा सा है कोई इकतारा
इकतारा
गूँजा सा है कोई इकतारा
गूँजा सा है कोई इकतारा
इकतारा
गूँजा सा है कोई इकतारा
दिल में बोले कोई इकतारा
इकतारा
दिल में बोले कोई इकतारा
इकतारा
गूँजा सा है कोई इकतारा
इकतारा
गूँजा सा है कोई इकतारा
सुन रही हूँ सुध बुध खोके
कोई मैं कहानी
पूरी कहानी है क्या
किसे है पता
मैं तो किसि की होके ये भी ना जानी
रुत है ये दो पल की या
रहेगी सदा
किसे है पता
किसे है पता
किसे है पता
जो बरसे सपने बूंद बूंद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
जो बरसे सपने बूंद बूंद
नैनों को मूँद मूँद
कैसे मैं चलूँ
देख ना सकूँ
अञ्जाने रास्ते

बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा
रूह का बंजारा रे परिंदा
छड़ गया दिल का रे घरौंदा
छड़ गया दिल का रे घरौंदा तोड़
रे घरौंदा तोड़के गया छोडके
जे नैना करू बंद बंद
बह जाये बूंद बूंद
बह जाये बूंद बूंद
जे नैना करू बंद बंद
बह जाये बूंद बूंद
तड़पे रे
क्यों सुनाए रे गीत मल्हार रे
बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा इकतारा
बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा
बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा इकतारा
बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा
बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा इकतारा
बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा
बीती रात बसी, पड़ी हैं सिरहाने
बैंड दरवाजा देखे लौटी है सुबह
ठंडी है अंगीठी सिली है दीवारें
गुंजे टकरा के अंदर दिल की सदा
गुंजे हाय रे
गुंजे हाय रे
दिल की सदा
दिल की सदा
जे नैना करू बंद बंद
बह जाये बूंद बूंद
बह जाये बूंद बूंद
जे नैना करू बंद बंद

बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा
बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा इकतारा
बेमलंग तेरा इकतारा

Ava ji, Thanks for the post. I agree that there are still good songs being composed ( but very few and far in between).
Your choice of song to make the point, is apt. This song probably will have a long shelf life. I hear it, being used in adverts & TV serial(s).
Long live ASAD

Very nice post Ava ji
I am also fond of the song.
I also like the male version by Tochi Raina which was not released on the CD but was present in the film.
A small correction is required to the credits.
The backup male vocals are by Amitabh Bhattacharya
The composer for this song is by Amit Trivedi (Shankar Ehsan Loy gave music for other songs).
The confirmation for the credits can be got from Amit’s interview here:-

It also talks about how the song got included in the movie.

In these summer days,it is better to address you as thandapani ji than Avaji….
Nice article,but it ended so soon that I was disappointed.
The point you have made about songs in these days, has been stressed by me several times that ” all that was before 70s was not good, as much as, all that is after 70s is bad ”
Some of the newer songs are truly very good and linger in memory for a long time indeed.

Thanks PMji. I love many new songs as well, for this reason. Yes there is a male version. It wasn’t used in the movie but exists.
