Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Darling Darling-1977)
——————————————-——————————————

 Today’s song is from the movie ‘Darling Darling’ (1977). Going by the Censor Board Certificate dated 11.05.1977 of this movie, I was just over nine years old when this movie must have been released. But I did not get to watch this movie then and I do not remember to have watched it later elsewhere. This movie had few good songs and they happen to be played frequently on loud-speakers then. Particularly I think the title song of this movie was heard more than other songs then. To me this song was an irritating song then. We as children were even shy to say the word ‘darling’ because we thought it was ‘ultra-modern’ type word for children like us who were studying in small village school. 🙂

From the year 1977 I remember to have watched movies like ‘Agent Vinod’, ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’, ‘Chaachaa Bhatijaa’, ‘Chhailaa Baabu’, ‘Dharam Veer’, ‘Dildaar’, ‘Dream Girl’, ‘Hum Kisise Kam Nahin’, ‘Khoon Paseenaa’, and ‘Shirdi Ke Saibaba’. May be we also watched ‘Yahi Hai Zindagi’, but I could not recall it now. So, from the above list one can easily guess that with such films around we children would not have expected to watch a Dev Anand movie whose title was ‘Darling Darling’ in those days.

‘Darling Darling’ was produced by Kishore Doshi and directed by Gogi Anand for ‘Fortune Films International, Bombay’. Geet Kosh lists it as a movie of social genre. Story and screenplay of this movie was written by Gulshan Nanda. Dialogues of this movie were written by Bhushan Banmali. Editing of this film was done by Ashok Ghai.

It had Dev Anand, Zeenat Aman, Mehmood, Jeevan, Nadira, Dheeraj Kumar, Poonam, Sajjan, Durga Khote, Helen, Ranjan, Raj Verma, Shivraj, Shefali, V Gopal, Hercules, Baby Goody, Baby Padmini, Janki Das, Zankhana, Pushpanjali, Birbal, Roopa, Dev Raj, Julian, Hira, Geeta Khanna, Monto, Pushpa Nepali, Bhushan Sawhney, Dhanna, Shahid Bijnori, Shaikh, and others.

This movie has six songs written by Anand Bakshi and composed to music by RD Burman. Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle and RD Burman have given their voices to the songs in this movie. Following is the brief about the story of this movie taken from filmiclub.com

‘Darling Darling’ is an Indian Bollywood social film released in 1977. The film is directed by Gogi Anand.

It is the story of a young man and woman brought together by circumstances. In a bid to solve their own individual problems, they strike a bargain with each other, pass through various vicissitudes and ultimately fall in love and are united. – ‘Darling Darling’ is the story of two lovers who are caught in the cob-web of crime and conspiracy. The story takes unexpected turns almost in every reel and keeps the audience engrossed throughout the film. . Kumar (Dev Anand) is the grandson of a wealthy widow (Durga Khote). Having been jilted in love by Seema (Poonam), Kumar resolves never to marry. His grandmother wants a good wife in the house and threatens Kumar to disinherit him of the money if he did not marry soon. On the other hand, there is Madhu (Zeenat Aman) who has been brought up by her step-mother (Nadira) and tortured by step-sister Seema. To inherit the entire property of Madhu, left to her by her father Rai Bahadur Dinanath (Sajjan) Jeevan, Nadira, Seema and Jeevan’s son, Dheeraj conspire to marry Madhu with Dheeraj and kill her after marriage. . Madhu is saved from the pursuing thugs of Mrs. Rai Bahadur by Kumar, who on the advice of his friend Debu (Mahmood) brings her to his house with Debu posing as her father and makes her acceptable to his grandmother. Kumar thinks that he will get the entire property by having a “hired wife while the grandmother reveals to Madhu that they are actually very poor and the entire property has been mortgaged. . . The story takes a sudden twist when, in the absence of his grandmother, Kumar is unable to pay off the creditors. Madhu then offers to take him out of trouble if he became her “hired husband” and brought the conspirators to book.

What happens next is to be watched in the film 🙂

The movie having good music by Pancham featured in the top twenty Bollywood movies of 1977 (as per IMDB). However none of its’ songs got in the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ of 1977 which had ‘Laila Majnu’ (1976), ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ and ‘Dharam Veer’ songs in the top three slots respectively. But nevertheless the music composed by Pancham for ‘Darling Darling’ and particularly the song “Aise Naa Mujhe Tum Dekho” is the top favorite of almost all FM channels on radio nowadays and it is frequently played on some other channels in between regularly.

Three songs out of the six songs from this movie have already been posted on the blog. The above mentioned song already posted with two other lesser heard but still enjoyable songs. However the title song ‘Darling Darling’ is yet to be posted :).

 

Today I am presenting the fourth song from this movie which again is a ‘drunkard’ song. And a ‘drunkard’ song performed by Dev Saab is the one I had always enjoyed. Today’s song is the first song appearing in the movie and it happens when Kumar (Dev Anand) takes his friend Debu (Mahmood) to introduce with his love and would be ‘bhaabhi’ Seema (Poonam aka Komal of ‘Jigri Dost’ (1969), ‘Sabak’ (1973) fame and later the wife of Shatrughan Sinha).

Debu is a ‘daily drinker’ and Kumar always lecture him on his drinking. Debu is reluctant to go with Kumar as he is already drunk and still continuing but Kumar insists and they go to the club. But when they reach the club Kumar finds Seema already in the baahon mein of Dheeraj (Dheeraj Kumar). When Kumar asks Seema to leave Dheeraj she replies back that now she is going to marry Dheeraj only as she is not that type of gharelu chhoolha phooking ladki and bahu that Kumar’s Daadi Maa (Durga Khote) is looking for.

Debu is already carrying the drinks in his hand and Kumar takes this ‘new guard’ and we have a ‘nice hummable song’ to listen to.

Enjoy the song!!!

हम्म मम्म मम्म
वो औरत है
ये है शराब

हुंह
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
हुह

कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है
वो औरत है
ये है शराब
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है

वो आग लगानेवाली
ये प्यास बुझानेवाली
वो इक नज़र का धोखा
ये है नशे का झोंका
वो इक नज़र का धोखा
ये है नशे का झोंका
ओ हो ओ ओ हो ओ
वो पत्थर है
ये है गुलाब
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है

उसने किया दीवाना
इसने किए मस्ताना
इल्ज़ाम है ये भी वो भी
बदनाम है ये भी वो भी
इल्ज़ाम है ये भी वो भी
बदनाम है ये भी वो भी
ओ हो ओ ओ हो ओ
वैसे तो हैं दोनों खराब
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है

वो औरत है
ये है शराब
इन दोनों में
कहिए जनाब
कौन अच्छा है
कौन झूठा है
कौन सच्चा है
कौन अच्छा है
