Today, it is the turn of this 1973 Vinod Khanna starrer – ‘Dhamki’ to join the list of Yippeee films on our blog.
In 1973, it had been five years since Vinod Khanna made his debut with the film ‘Man Ka Meet’ (1968) and two years since he got his first break as a hero (in ‘Hum, Tum Aur Woh’ (1971)). He started his career as a villain, and continued to work with negative and also supporting roles in many films, before graduating into leading roles. His image as an energetic action person, actually brought to him more roles as an action hero. Many of his initial roles are either as a dacoit chief or a police inspector. The film ‘Dhamki’ is not much different. He plays the role of a CBI inspector who works to foils the plans of some foreign agents, trying to take over the control of a small erstwhile kingdom, by eliminating the new teenager heir to the throne. Vinod Khanna, helped by Mehmood Junior takes on this gang and saves the heir and the kingdom from falling into foreign hands.
This film was released, sandwiched between two other significant films of Vinod Khanna, in which he has played very sensitive roles which became better known films of that year. The first is ‘Achaanak’, which reprises the famous Nanavati murder case, and adds another dimension to it. The second is ‘Imtihaan’ in which Vinod Khanna has played the role of a college professor, taking on an educationist role very seriously. In comparison, ‘Dhamki’ may have been treated as just another cops and robbers tale.
The film is directed by Parvez for the banner of Tasveer Movies, Bombay. Interesting to note that Vinod, almost a debutante hero in 1973 was cast opposite to Kum Kum, who by this time was a veteran actress of a little over two decades, although her age does not show that on screen. Others in the list of actors are Ramesh Deo, Bela Bose, Junior Mehmood, Jaishree T, Meena T, Imtiaz, Tiwari, Sham Kumar, Brahm Bhardwaj, Munshi Munakka, Johnny Whisky etc. with special appearances by Helen, Ranjeet and Subhash Ghai.
There are five songs listed for this film. One song, “Kali Se Nazaaron Se Bahaaron Se” is penned by Verma Malik. The remaining four songs have been penned by Asad Bhopali. With the posting of this song, songwriter Asad Bhopali touches the double century milestone. He now has two hundred songs showcased on our blog.
The music is from the mind of that prodigal genius – Ganesh. The readers of this blog are by now very familiar with this name. Associated with an illustrious family of musicians, he is the son of Ram Prasad Sharma, and younger brother to Pyaarelal Ram Prasad Sharma (of the Laxmikant Pyaarelal duo). In the beginning of 1960s, the name of Ganesh came to be acknowledged as the key contributor to the success of the music of Laxmikant Pyaarelal. The effect of this impression in the industry was so strong that by the mid 1960s, he got about 10 assignments as an independent music director, even before a single film with his music had even got to the studio floors.
Ganesh was an expert with many instrument and a genius with creating tunes. He had the ability to create newer, fresher melodies that one had to stop and pay attention to. Pick up any film done by him (of which there sadly aren’t many), any song created by him, and as you listen, and if you are not aware of the identity of the music director, you will surely wonder who would it be, the creator of such a lovely melody. Somehow, the combination of the tones, the octaves and the emphases make the tunes created by this hugely talented musician simply touch a very endearing nerve, and the heart simply wants to sing along with the flow of the song.
But alas, recognition and success was not in his destiny. His songs, buzzing with hummable and memorable tunes, played themselves out in B and C grade cinema productions. Some of his songs escaped this banishment to the C grade world, and found a place on the radio waves, and in the mind and memories of listeners. Some such songs have remained in the memories; but then there are many other remarkable creations from him that are being rediscovered through this blog.
The earlier songs of this film that have been posted are,
| 1. Chaand Kyaa Hai Roop Ka Darpan |
| 2. Hamsafar Ho Hamsafar Gham Na Kar |
| 3. Kali Se Nazaaron Se Bahaaron Se |
| 4. Yaaron Mujhe Peene Do |
Today’s song is a stage dance song, which is performed on screen by Kum Kum, accompanied by. . . an actress I am not able to place. She is either Jaishree T or Meena T. I request other readers and friends to kindly confirm. As is apparent from the sequence in this video clip, the plan is to eliminate the young heir to the throne by making him sit under a large glass chandelier, which will be made to fall on him at the end of the performance. The hero CBI officer and his side kick have been overpowered and are tied to water pipes in the basement. From the looks of it, all the members of the ‘evil’ gang are present in the audience. I can make out Sham Kumar and Ramesh Deo, and many more that I am not able to name, including a lady in yellow dress. Again, request to the more knowledgeable readers to help identify more people in this clip.
With this song, music director Ganesh now has 57 songs posted on our blog. Given that his total body of work is around 80 to 85 songs, we are close to getting all his songs on board. But for today, ‘Dhamki’ joins the list of films with all songs poster here. Time for another ‘Yippeee’ call.
[Ed Note: Dear Prakash ji has confirmed that the dancer on stage with Kum Kum is Jaishree T. And the lady in yellow dress, sitting in the audience, is Meena T. Prakash ji has also pointed out an error in the list of songs of this film – a case of incorrect cut and paste from another file. He has also pointed out the correction that there are two lyricists credited for this film. Prakash ji, thanks so much for your vigilant inputs, and for helping to update the correct information into this post. 🙂 ]

Lyrics
kaun waafadaar hai
kaun bewafaa hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
kaun waafadaar hai
kaun bewafaa hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
raaz hai jo dil mein
paraai mehfil mein
hum kaise bataayen bataayen
kaun khatavaar hai
kaun be-khata hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
kaun waafadaar hai
kaun bewafaa hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
jhhoothi
ye duniya jhhoothi
deti rahi hai dhokha sabhi ko
hoga
jo hona hoga
jee bhar ka chaaho tum bhi kisi ko
saagar
chhalke
aanchal
dhalke
aao naa. . .
aaao naa pyaar karen
haan karen
deewaano
raat mazedaar hai
baat bevajaah hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
kaun waafadaar hai
kaun bewafaa hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
aankhen
do pyaasi aankhen
kehti hain rakh do
seene pe sar bhi
socho
haan itna socho
kal ki to kya
nahin pal ki khabar bhi
jalwe

dil se
hoon main
aao naa. . .
aaao naa pyaar karen
haan karen
deewaano
ang lachakdaar hai
rang phool sa hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
kaun waafadaar hai
kaun bewafaa hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
raaz hai jo dil mein
paraai mehfil mein
hum kaise bataayen bataayen
kaun khatavaar hai
kaun be-khata hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko bhi pata hai
kaun waafadaar hai
kaun bewafaa hai
tumko bhi pata hai
humko hi pata hai

कौन वफादार है
कौन बेवफा है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
कौन वफादार है
कौन बेवफा है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
राज़ है जो दिल में
पराई महफिल में
हम कैसे बताएं बताएं
कौन खतावार है
कौन बे-खता है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
कौन वफादार है
कौन बेवफा है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
झूठी
ये दुनिया झूठी
देती रही है धोखा सभी को
होगा
जो होना होगा
जी भर के चाहो तुम भी किसी को
सागर
छलके
आँचल
ढलके
आओ ना॰॰॰
आओ ना प्यार करें
हाँ करें
दीवानों
रात मज़ेदार है
बात बेवजह है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
कौन वफादार है
कौन बेवफा है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
आँखें
दो प्यासी आँखें
कहती हैं रख दो
सीने पे सर भी
सोचो
हाँ इतना सोचो
कल की तो क्या
नहीं पल की खबर भी
जलवे
ले मैं
दिल से
हूँ मैं
आओ ना॰॰॰
आओ ना प्यार करें
हाँ करें
दीवानों
अंग लचकदार है
रंग फूल सा है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
कौन वफादार है
कौन बेवफा है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
राज़ है जो दिल में
पराई महफिल में
हम कैसे बताएं बताएं
कौन खतावार है
कौन बे-खता है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है
कौन वफादार है
कौन बेवफा है
तुमको भी पता है
हमको भी पता है

Dear Prakash ji,
Thanks so much for the updates and corrections to this post. The lyricist mix up and the incorrect list of songs are sloppy errors on my part. Thanks for catching them and helping to rectify. I have made the corrections to the above post.
