#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————

(4th August’2024- Kishore Kumar’s 95th birth anniversary )

In this post I am presenting a song from the ‘1970’ movie ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’.
I was on the look out for a song sung by Kishore Kumar before 1970 that is not yet covered in the blog. I came across this lesser heard song, which I think could have been a well-known song. Maybe this movie was not as much successful and its songs were forgotten easily.

“Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi-1970” was produced for ‘Vasu Films’, Madras, by Vasu Menon. It was directed by V.Madhusudana Rao. It had Sanjay Khan, Leena Chandavarkar, Jagdeep, Anupama, Manmohan Krishna, Sundar, N.S. Bedi, Sharma, Pratima Devi, Bilkis, Shamim, Lalita Pawar, Shashikala, Om Prakash, Madhumati, Jayshree T.

As per information available the story of this movie was written by Barampuram Kollady. Its dialogues were written by Rajinder Krishan who also penned down the lyrics for the seven songs in this movie. Music of this film was composed by R.D.Burman. The singers’ names for this movie have Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, and Usha Mangeshkar.

Here is the summary of his movie as mentioned on IMDB. (I have added the actors names to this summary according to the character played by them which is mentioned on IMDB as well as on Wikipedia).

Pretty Sadhana (Leena Chandavarkar), the daughter of Rangpur-based widow, Bhagmati (Lalita Pawar), falls in love, and gets married to Haripur-based Deepak Chaudhary (Sanjay Khan), who lives with his dad, Motilal Om Prakash); and mom, Maya (Shashikala). It is here she will find that her mom expects her to abuse Maya, and drive her out; while Bhagmati herself abuses her very own daughter-in-law, Lajwanti (Anupama), for not bringing any dowry, and prevents her submissive son, Kanhaiya (Jagdeep), from being intimate with her. Sadhana will also find out why Motilal and Maya do not converse with each other directly, and why the former keeps a photo-less frame in the main living room of their mansion.

The rest as they say is to be watched in the movie. 🙂

The song under discussion song is a song in the category of ‘drunkard’ song –cum- fun song. With Kishore Kumar singing such type of songs, enjoyment is guaranteed. Sanjay Khan lip-syncs the song on screen. He is seen making a nuisance of himself much to the chagrin of Lalita Pawar. Watching this song one can see guess that Deepak (Sanjay) is pretending to be drunk and has planned this dance party to teach a lesson to Bhagmati (Lalita Pawar). Sadhana (Leena Chandavarkar) seems to be aware what is going on and she plays along with Deepak, and even joins Deepak in singing and dancing and “condoning” his drunkennes.

HFGK Vol-IV mentions the name of Kishore Kumar only for this song. However there is a female voice for few lines sung by Sadhana (Leena), which I guess is the voice of Asha Bhonsle. I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.

Lyrics for the song are by Rajinder Krishan and music is composed by R.D. Burman.

Let us now enjoy this ‘drunkard’ song …
