Rajesh Khanna’s birth anniversary – A tribute
Today 29th December’2022 is the eightieth birth anniversary (29 December 1942 – 18 July 2012) of Rajesh Khanna, born as Jatin Khanna. Had he been alive, he would have turned eighty today.
On this occasion for today I could not complete my earlier planned post for this day under my series ‘ Rajesh Khanna – The Phenomenon’. However, since I do not want to miss to contribute for today’s occasion, I am presenting a song from a Rajesh Khanna movie so as to pay our tributes to Rajesh Khanna today.
I will also not repeat what I have earlier written about Kaka and his movies on the blog.
When I was looking for a song for today, I first thought that I will present a song with Pancham-Kaka-Majrooh combination. Later, I check for a Pancham-Kaka-Anand Bakshi combination and lastly, I thought I would present a song from a recent movie (i.e., from the eighties) of Rajesh Khanna. Finally, I decided that I will select a movie from the year ‘1985’ only, a year in which maximum movies of Rajesh Khanna were released.
And when I check the songs of this movie ‘Insaaf Main Karoonga-1985’ and went through its’ songs I found a song sung by Bappi Lahiri for Kaka. In this movie he has given his voice for two songs to Kaka. How did I forget all this? Even I do not remember if I had watched this movie then?
But one thing I remember that this movie was not a successful movie then, though ‘Wikipedia’ mentions it ‘a golden jubilee hit movie’ (?) now.
“Insaaf Main Karoongaa-1985” was directed by Shibu Mitra for ‘Seth Films International’.
It was produced by B.S. Sethi.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 10.05.1985.
The star cast of ‘Insaaf Main Karoongaa’ included Rajesh Khanna, Tina Munim, Padmini Kolhapure, Shakti Kapoor, Om Shivpuri, Joy Mukherjee, Tez Sapru, Leena Das, Aruna Irani, Chandrashekhar, Uttam Sodhi, Bob Christo and others.
This movie had six songs written by Verma Malik and Anjaan three songs each.
Here is the list of songs contained in this movie:-.
| SNo. | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer/s |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Ye kya huaa….aap ki nazron se dil pe goli chalne lagi (part 1) | Anjaan | Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle |
| 02 | Ho ho ho… dum taana dum taana bole rabaab | Verma Malik | Shabbir Kumar, Manhar, Chandrani Mukherjee |
| 03 | Ek baras mein ek baar hi aati hai ye raat yaaron | Verma Malik | Bappi Lahiri |
| 04 | Salma o Salma main hoon Salma | Verma Malik | Sharon Prabhakar |
| 05 | Honey… kuchh maangu to dena | Anjaan | Asha Bhonsle, Bappi Lahiri |
| 06 | Ye kya huaa….aap ki nazron se dil pe goli chalne lagi (part 2) | Anjaan | Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle |
Today’s song is sung by Bappi Lahiri as mentioned above. Lyrics are by Verma Malik, and music is composed by Bappi Lahiri himself.
(Readers will also note something special each time Bappi Da sings ‘ek’ in his style 😊 ).
On screen it is Rajesh Khanna performing on the song in his inimitable style. Also seen in the picturisation of this song are Tina Munim, Om Shivpuri (whose intentions does not look good 😊 ) Tez Sapru and many others.
This song is nice party song and I guess it is a ‘new year celebration party’ in the movie.
Anyway, we do also have a reason to celebrate- for Rajesh Khanna today – for his style and charisma and the memories of his movies with us. Secondly, we have only three days of ‘2022’ now, so let us cheer and celebrate 😊
Listening to this song may remind of some other song of same tune but I am not able to put a finger to the original song.
With this song this movie “Insaaf Main Karoongaa-1985” makes its debut on the blog.

Song-Ek baras mein ek baar hi (Insaaf Main Karoonga)(1985) Singer-Bappi Lahiri, Lyrics-Verma Malik, MD-Bappi Lahiri
Lyrics
ek baras mein
ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaaron o o
dil mein base jo
baahon mein uski
ye raat saari guzaaro o
ek baras mein
ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaaron o o
dil mein base jo
baahon mein uski
ye raat saari guzaaro o o
milna hai to aise milo
milkey naa hon phir judaa
milna hai to aise milo
milkey naa hon phir judaa
ye umr aur ye jawaani
ye raat hai pyaar ki ee ee
har dil mein machle tamanna aa
dil chaahe dildaar ki
taqdeer se dil ko miley
koyi haseen dilrubaa
ek baras mein
ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaaron o o
dil mein base jo
baahon mein uski
ye raat saari guzaaro o o
milna hai to aise milo
milkey naa hon phir judaa
milna hai to aise milo
milkey naa hon phir judaa
ye narm baahon ke ghere ae
saanson ki ye garmiyaan aa aa
mehke badan ki ye khushboo
aankhon ki ye mastiyaan aan
aankhon se jo peeley kabhi
toote kabhi naa nashaa
ek baras mein
ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaaron
dil mein base jo
baahon mein uski
ye raat saari guzaaro o o
milna hai to aise milo
milkey naa hon phir judaa
milna hai to aise milo
milkey naa hon phir judaa
kya pyaas jaagi hai dil mein
tujh ko nahin ye pataa aa aa aa
ye dooriyaan ab mitaa de
aa aur bhi paas aa
aa aur bhi paas aa
aa aur bhi paas aa
kya hai bhalaa
kya hai buraa
ye aaj tu bhool jaa
ek baras mein
ek baar hi
aati hai ye raat yaaron o o
dil mein base jo
baahon mein uski
ye raat saari guzaaro o o
milna hai to aise milo
milkey naa hon phir judaa
milna hai to aise milo
milkey naa hon phir judaa

Avinashji,
“Readers will also note something special each time Bappi Da sings ‘ek’ in his style”
I read the post after hearing the song. I was about to comment on “EK” sounding like “AK”. And then I saw that u have mentioned it. 😀
I don’t think Bappida voice suited Rajesh Khanna. Don’t know why Kishore Kumar was not used. He was still there in 1985.
Btw, I was wondering how come there is no post from you for Kaka.

Madam ji
Bappi Lahiri at his peak in those times, recording Kishore songs one after another,
Insaaf main karoonga has 2 kishore songs,
I guess Bappi Lahiri didn`t got Kishoreda`s dates,for this song, then he thought, “why not me singing this song…….
…. Just a fertile guessing work….

You are right. Listening to this song, I felt that in Kishore Kumar’s voice this song would have become immortal. Bappi Lahiri went overboard as a playback singer in 1980s after he reached the top. He should have used his voice sparingly like R D Burman and S D Burman.
