Hello Atuldom
I am back again with one more birthday post. I was aware of this date- 9th April. For additional reminder Avinashji played my alarm this time. Every year I make mental notes to wish this Bengali Beauty but on the run-up to the date I end up forgetting to write and send a song.
When I shared my experience of seeing the dream girl at Mumbai airport with my friends from school we had a major down-memory-lane session. We remembered who was whose fan at that young age of ours. And my friends were talking of how I was a die-hard Rekha fan and she herself was a Jaya Bhadhuri fan. Actually we were three of us and between us we had Rekha, Jaya and Hema as favourites and the other heroines of those time were also-rans in our opinion. Oh! to be that age again!!! Hope the song with post is liked by my girl-gang.
Jaya Bhaduri (later known as Jaya Bachchan) is an actress who had a naturalistic style of acting in both commercial and middle of the road movies. She debuted at the age of 15 in a Satyajit Ray film in Bengali, joined FTII graduated and made her Hindi debut in the title role of “Guddi” in 1971. This was followed by similar girl-next-door roles in “Mili”, “Chupke Chupke”, “Bawarchi”, “Piya Ka Ghar” etc. She tried to play slightly urban characters in “Jawani Deewani”, “Dil Deewana”, “Naya Din Nayi Raat”, “Parichay”; these characters were independent and had a mind of their own and could make decisions for themselves. Whether girl-next-door or modern, her footing was on-par with the male lead. Her “raat-ki-rani” in “Shor” or “knife sharpener” Mala of “Zanjeer” and Sushma of “Naya Din Nayi Raat” are still remembered fondly. She had the distinction of playing girl-friend, wife, daughter and bhabhi to Sanjeev Kumar. She has played daughter to Dharmendra twice -“Phagun” and “Samadhi”. She had acted in about nine movies with Amitabh as co-star before she took a sabbatical to look after her family.
During her days as lead actress there was one movie with an unusual casting- Gaai aur Gori. I have not seen the movie but from what I have read on IMDB and in the post (Gori o gori prem kar le)by Avinashji for the only song to be posted; the movie was the story of a village belle (something that Jaya Bhaduri had never played) who has a pet cow and her journey through life. “Gaai aur Gori” was a movie were she paired with Shatrughan Sinha (this movie also joins my list of movies to be seen).
Now today’s song has Jaya in the riding a bullock cart through the village singing in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar a song written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. From the video it looks like she has a tomboyish character in the movie. This song reminded me of the “sawaan ka mahina” song from “Milan” in the sense that Lata says the word ‘Shamu’ as ‘Saamu’.
Here is wishing our Guddi a very Happy Birthday

Lyrics(Based on Audio link)
oh Ramu bhaiyya,
saamu bhaiyya
ghar ko chalo
baarish aane waali hai
champa chameli
kaahe saheli
hum nikli akeli
rutt aise jaise koi paheli
paanv mein paayal honthon pe raag
bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag
bhaag mere raamu
jaag mere saamu
bhaag mere raamu
jaag mere saamu
chal jaldi se chal
lambi dagar
chhoti umar
anmol har ek pal
chal chal chal
bhaag mere raamu
jaag mere saamu
chal jaldi se chal
lambi dagar
chhoti umar
anmol har ek pal
chal chal
bhaag mere raamu
jaag mere saamu
aise na chal hauley hauley
lamba safar dil doley doley
aise na chal hauley hauley
lamba safar dil doley
ghoonghat na kholey
gori sharmaaye
haaye
raste mein kisi se nazar na lad jaaye
ho amber pe baadal dharti pe aag
bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag
bhaag mere raamu
jaag mere saamu
chal jaldi se chal
lambi dagar
chhoti umar
anmol har ek pal
chal chal chal
bhaag mere raamu
jaag mere saamu
peechhe shahar gaanv aage
daiyya re daiyya darr laage laage
peechhe shahar gaanv aage
daiyya re daiyya dar laage
roop ke choron ki hai ye nagariya
mele se main laayi malmal ki chunariya
ho mukhde pe jhoome zulfon ke naag
bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag
bhaag mere raamu
jaag mere shaamu
chal jaldi se chal
lambi dager
chhoti umar
anmol har ek pal
chal chal
bhaag mere raamu
jaag mere saamu
