(Celebrating Pancham’s 86th Birth Anniversary 27.06.2025 – 4)
——————————————————————————————————
Music Director Rahul Dev Burman started his musical journey with the movie ‘Chhote Nawaab-1961’. In this post we will look at the statistics of Pancham movies released during the decade of Sixties viz the decade of 1961 to 1970.
Here is the list of movies and the status of their songs in the blog for movies released in the decade of 1960s with R D Burman as the music director :-

From the above table we can see that out of the 17 movies that Pancham composed music for in the years 1961-1970, 15 movies are already YIPPEED on the blog. We have only two movies left where we still have opportunity to discuss songs in the blog. These two movies are ‘Ehsaan’ and ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thhi’.
In this post I am presenting a ‘sales-pitch-song-cum-romantic duet’ from the movie ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thhi’.
This movie 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 other songs in this movie have the voices of 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.
Let us now enjoy this song which is a duet sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. The song is pictursed on Sanjay Khan and Leena Chandavarkar . The song is shot around some beautiful outdoor location (which I guess is around Udaipur, Rajasthan).
Lyrics are penned by Rajinder Krishan and music is composed by R.D. Burman.
Let us now enjoy this lovely, but rarely heard song, which I am sure many music lovers may be listening again after a long gap.
