“Watan Se Door”(1968) was produced and directed by Kamran for Rainbow Films, Bombay. The movie had Dara Singh, Nishi, Kamran, Daisy Irani, Tiwari, Maruti, Meenakshi, Shyam Kumar, Amarnath, Amar, Khursheed Khan, Anjum, Zerry, Habib, Fazlu, Tuntun, Bibu China, Masood, Moolchand, etc in it. The movie had five songs in it. Four songs have already been covered in the past.
The story of this movie was given by our beloved inhouseencyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh jee, while commenting on the fourth song of the movie covered in the blog. Here is his take on the movie :-
WATAN SE DOOR (1968) was directed by Kamran, who was once a leading hero of C grade movies and he was in great demand in his times, as audience used to flock to dilapidated, obscure, nondescript theatres to watch his films with great enthusiasm and in great numbers too.
Actually the story of this film is totally different and unimaginable for a film of Dara Singh.
The war with China is on in the Himalayas. Capt. Ranjit (Dara singh), Dr. Khan (Kamran), Prof. Kapoor(Shyam Kumar), Nurse Mala(Nishi) and few soldiers escape with a microfilm of Chinese secrets, in custody of Ranjit. On the way, they fight Chinese army, free Indian girl Bharati (Meenakshi) and her brother, and generally do heroic deeds. They are surrounded by Chinese army once. Ranjit escapes and seeks help from Raka (Amarnath) tribal leader, who obliges and drives away the entire Chinese platoon ! In return he now wants Mala the lovable Nurse. Irked by the idea of losing his muse, Ranjit thrashes Raka and makes him unconscious. Raka’s fiancée Shibika helps them to escape from there.
Again the Chinese attack and this time plant a Time Bomb around them after tying them.
The further story is easily predictable. Ranjit escapes, destroys Time Bomb, kills many Chinese soldiers and reaches Indian camp. The Govt. gives him a medal and Mala gives him her OK.
Here are the details of the four songs that have been covered in the blog:-

| 19442 | Aaye sajanwa naache re manwa | Suman Kalyanpur | Farooque Kaiser | 29 September 2025 | Picturised on Meenakshi |
Here is the fifth and final song from “Watan Se Door”(1968) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Kamal Barot. Farooque Kaiser is the lyricist. Music is composed by Lala-Sattar.
The song is picturised as a synchronised dance song on Nishi and Daisy Irani. We are used to watching Daisy Irani in child roles, but by 1968 she was already 18 years old (Dob 17 June 1950). It is perhaps for the first time that she got to dance in a song as a grown up. She dances with gusto and enthusiasm in this song. Dara Singh and others are seen enjoying this dance performance.
With this song, all the five songs of “Watan Se Door”(1968) are covered in the blog. The movie thus gets YIPPEED in the blog.
Song-Main to naachoon main to gaaoon (Watan Se Door)(1968) Singers-Asha Bhonsle, Kamal Barot, Lyricist-Farooque Kaiser, MD-Lala Sattar
Lyrics
main to naachoon
main to gaaoon
galee hoye ya bajariya
main to naachoon
main to gaaoon
galee hoye ya bajariya
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re

dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re
man hee man mein maree jaaoon
jara rok lo najariya
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re
haay
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re
baalee umar moree nain ??waale
kaise sambhaloon piya jiya naaheen maane
jaane zamaana sainya
tu hee na jaane
jaane zamaana sainya
tu hee na jaane
phulwa khile hai
purwa chale hai hamaare angna
main to naachoon
main to gaaoon
galee hoye ya bajariya
main to naachoon
main to gaaoon
galee hoye ya bajariya
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re
haay
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re
toote badan gora angdaayee aaye
baajooband mora khul khul jaaye
sajna tumhaare bina kachhu na suhaaye
sajna tumhaare bina kachhu na suhaaye
aaja pyaare
bindiya pukaare
bulaaye kangna
main to naachoon
main to gaaoon
galee hoye ya bajariya
main to naachoon
main to gaaoon
galee hoye ya bajariya
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re
haay
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re
man hee man mein maree jaaoon
jara rok lo najariya
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re ae ae ae
dekho dekho re saanwariya dekho re
