# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # R.D. Burman – Year 1977
———————————————–————————————
In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Jeewan Mukt-1977’. It was directed by Sudhendu Roy for S.R. Productions, Bombay. Two songs from this movie have already been posted on this blog. This movie made its debut on the blog on 27.06.2020, i.e. on the birth anniversary of Pancham, who composed the music for this movie. The song that I presented then was ‘lehraa ke dagar chalee jaatee hai kidhar’. Later I also presented the second song from this movie ‘aao waheen ham chalen’, which was posted on the blog on 26.02.2023.
The cast of this movie ‘Jeewan Mukt-1977’ has Lakshmi, Parikshit Sahni, Girish Karnad, Mala Jaggi, Sudha Shivpuri, Pawan Dutt, Meena Rai, Master Gautam, Ashok Razdan, Dhanna, Asha Lata, Suresh Oberoi, Dinshaw Dazi, Shrimati Mistri and others. As per HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) this movie had total four songs, all solo songs sung by Asha Bhonsle. Lyricist Yogesh wrote the songs for this movie and music was composed by R.D. Burman. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 08.08.1977.
When I presented the first song from this movie here I had mentioned that I had never listened to the songs of this movie earlier. For that matter I had never even heard the name of this movie. This movie must have sunk badly at the box office and as a result it must have ended up becoming an obscure movie of its time. The movie had some beautiful songs in it that were created by none other than the genius music director Rahul Dev Burman.
Also in the process of presenting the earlier two songs from this movie I had come across a song sung by Kishore Kumar which is uploaded as an ‘unreleased song from this movie- ‘Jeewan Mukt’. However, I did not find any mention of this song either in Geet Kosh or in the famous biographical books on Kishore Kumar and R.D. Burman.
As mentioned above, I guess that this was a rare and obscure movie of its time. Other than the videos of the first two songs no information was available about the story of the movie of any other video of this movie. However recently a couple of videos from this movie have been made available on internet and watching this video we can guess about the storyline of this movie. Also, one of these links mentioned the following about the gist of the story of this movie, which I reproducing here below.
Jeevan Mukt (Hindi: जीवन मुक्त; translation: Freedom in Life) is a 1977 Bollywood drama film directed by Sudhendu Roy. This family drama stars Girish Karnad, Laxmi, Parikshit Sahni, Vidya Sinha in lead roles. This is the first full length film of Suresh Oberoi. The story is about Anita’s quest for love, her tribulations in this process and her ultimate realisation of freedom in life. Music composition – Rahul Dev Burman, Lyrics – Yogesh, Playback – Asha Bhonsle, Direction – Sudhendu Roy, Production – Sudhendu Roy.
Here is what ‘IMDB’ mentions about the plot of this movie –
Tragedy and misfortune seem to befall her at every turn, but as she becomes more independent, a new lifestyle change may bring some unexpected results.
Out of the two short videos of this movie available on internet one has the beginning of this movie where the narrator telling us about the story of Anita (played by Lakshmi). The movie starts where Anita has been felicitated for her achievements as an ‘artiste’ and we have journalists asking her about her achievements and her personal life. Here is the text of what the narrator tells us and how the question answers go between Anita and the journalists. (the text in the bracket is what the narrator is speaking).
(आज अनीता के नाम की जय जयकार हो रही है एक चित्रकार की सफलता ने आज उसे जय-माल पहनाई है कितनी नीर-भार और उन्मुक्त है आज अनीता)
Journalist-1
अनीता देवी, आज आप दुनिया के जाने माने चित्रकारों में से एक है , आप, आप बता सकती है के
आप के इस तरक्की की बुनियाद क्या है ,
Anita
सत्य की उपलब्धि , अपने चित्रों में, अपने आप को प्रकाशित करने की प्रेरणा को … आप बुनियाद कह सकते हैं,
Journalist -2
सुना है आप अपने पर्सनल लाइफ में एक निराश प्रेमिका हैं,
Anita
निराश नहीं, मैं प्रेम के स्वप्नमय जीवन से उबर आई हूँ(पर एक दिन उसके भी मन में प्यार की प्यास थी … अमिट प्यास,
जीवन की कमियों कमजोरियों से गुज़र कर ही उसने जीवन का सही अर्थ समझा है)Anita continuing …लेकिन अकेलापन महसूस नहीं करते
(और ये समझने के लिए उसे अपनी ही आहुति देनी पड़ी है. आज जब अनीता की कहानी कहने बैठा हूँ तो मधु, सतीश, अरोरा, और रणजीत बरबस ही याद आ रहें हैं॥ एक व्यक्ति और था जो उसके जीवन में आया..अमरजीत ..
Here the story goes into flashback where we see actor Girish Karnad (Amarjeet) entering in the exhibition hall where Anita’s paintings are exhibited. Amarjeet likes one of her paintings, but before he could move forward to buy it, one couple approaches Anita to buy it. Meanwhile Anita receives a call from a Hospital where the nurse informs her about her mother’s critical condition. Next we have Anita reaching the Hospital and the doctor informing her about the passing away of her mother.
What happens next? And how Anita’s life moves forward is what the story of this movie should be, which as of now is not known to us. (But there might be some lead that we could be discussing in the next post with a song from this movie here).
All the four songs from this movie have been sung by Asha Bhonsle. Today’s song doesn’t have a video, and only its’ audio is available. The audio of this song is uploaded by a great ‘Pancham’ fan Shree Atanu Raychaudhuri. I am also reproducing the text from this audio link which has interesting information (that I had mentioned is also available in the book ‘R.D. Burman- The Man, The Music’).
Fantastic song from the ‘1977’ film ‘Jeewan Mukt’. The mukhda tune is loosely based on the Beatles number Norwegian Wood, but the song is taken to greater heights by the superb prelude and interlude music and excellent antaraas. I added the long prelude from the film version to the clear EP record version, for a sense of completeness. Sadly, the complete music is available only in the film soundtrack, which is pretty weak. After one and half minutes of music from the film, we have good audio experience from the released vinyl.
Enjoy the music of Pancham … and …let us now enjoy this lesser known third song from this movie …
