Today’s song is from the 1985 movie ‘Ek Pal’.
“Ek Pal-1985” (alias ‘A Moment) was produced by Kalpana Lajmi and Bhupen Hazarika. It had Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah, Farooque Sheikh, Dr Shreeram Lagoo, Dina Pathak, Sreela Muzumdar, Amalsen, Sunil Mukherjee, Sunila Pradhan, Dr Kumar Pradhan, Ranna Pandya, Kuku Mehra, Dina Bhuyan and others. Dr Bhupen Hazarika and Deepa Lagoo had guest appearances in this movie. Lyrics and dialogues of this movie were written by Gulzar. Screenplay of this movie is written by Kalpana Lajmi and Gulzar. Editing of this movie was done by Bhanudas Divkar. “Ek Pal” has eight songs sung by singers Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Usha Mangeshkar, Haimanti Shukla, Bhupen Hazarika, Bhupinder Singh and Nitin Mukesh. Music is composed by Bhupen Hazarika. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 15.11.1985.
Two songs from this movie have been presented on the blog in the past. This movie was introduced on the blog by our senior member Shri Sadanand Kamath jee with a song in 2023. Later I had also presented a song from this movie here on the blog.
I am reproducing the full text from the article of Sadanand jee which contains the gist of the story of this movie.
Priyam Chaliha (Shabana Azmi) is born in a middle-class family living in Shillong. On the occasion of Bihu festival, she with her parents visits their native place, Jorhat, and stay in their ancestral house. During the festival gathering, Priyam meets Jeet Barooah (Farooque Shaikh), son of a tea baron. She is impressed with his charm and Jeet also gets infatuated by her grace.
After the completion of the festival holidays, Priyam returns to Shillong with her parents (Shreeram Lagoo and Deena Pathak). Jeet follows Priyam to Shillong and continue their romantic sojourns. At the same time, Ved Hazarika (Naseeruddin Shah), who works as an Engineer in tea plantation often visits Priyam’s house. He appears matured and balanced person for whom the work is worship.
In the meanwhile, Jeet, who wants to enjoy the companionship with Priyam without the firm commitment of taking their relationship to a marriage, wriggle out of the relationship by informing Priyam that he is flying to Harvard for higher studies. Priyam is shocked and in a moment of emotional upheaval, she tells her father about her relationship and break up with Jeet. At that moment, her father reveals that Ved has asked him for her hand in marriage. Priyam and Ved get married.
After some time, Priyam finds often alone as Ved is busy with his work, whole day with his visits to factory, plantations, and office work at home. She finds quite a contrast between the time she spent with Jeet and now with Ved. At the same time, she knows that Ved is a caring husband. Adding to her misery is her miscarriage which makes her more depressed in her lonely life.
After few years, Jeet return to India during Deewaali festivals and tries to resume his relationship with Priyam with his savvy style despite knowing that she is already married. Priyam is not willing to resume this relationship beyond the level of courtesy. At this juncture, Ved is transferred to Kenya on his company’s work for a year. Jeet with his persuasive skill reignites Priyam’s suppressed feeling of love and passion. In a joyous moment, Priyam succumbs to Jeet’s advances and find herself pregnant. She reveals her pregnancy to Jeet who asks her to abort the pregnancy. Jeet is exposed as he is not willing to take responsibility for an illegitimate child but would like to continue on extra-marital relationship with her.
Disillusioned with the attitude of Jeet, Priyam leaves Shillong to stay with her parents in Shillong. She reveals the truth about her pregnancy to them. They are shocked. Despite a lot of talk from her father about the traditions, values, society etc, Priyam is determined to bear her child knowing that in this way her husband will get hurt for which she is alone responsible.
Ved returns to India. He is overjoyed finding Priyam pregnant. Inside the four walls of their bedroom in the night, Priyam reveals the truth to Ved and tell Ved that he was always good to her. It was she who was guilty of adultery for which she would take the responsibility. She gives him option to accept her with the child or leave her. During their conversation, Priyam accidentally falls and get seriously injured jeopardising her life as well as the life of a stillborn. Ved rushes her to the hospital for emergency surgery saves the lives of both mother and the child. The film ends with Ved taking Priyam and the child back to his home in Jorhat.
Today’s song is a multiple version song. Only audio of this song is available. It is in the voices of Bhupinder Singh and Asha Bhonsle for the male and female version respectively.
It is an expectant mother/expectant parents genre of song. I could not find the video of this song. I had watched some part of this movie but I have no recollections of watching the video of this song in the movie.
I had come across this song for the first time in 1987-1988 when I had bought an audio cassette of Bhupinder Singh songs from Nehru Place, New Delhi. So this song was always on the back of my mind. However I was not aware that this song has a female version in the voice of Asha Bhonsle too. Lyrics of the song are penned by none other than Gulzar Saab. Music is composed by Bhupen Hazarika. The male version in the voice of Bhupinder Singh has one stanza less compared to the the female version which has three stanzas.
Let us now listen to this song…
