Archive for the ‘“Get together” song’ Category
Here is an absolute gem of a song that has been lying hidden all these decades.
This song is from “Nayi Kahaani” (1943). I am not only surprised that music lovers have forgotten this song, I am even more surprised at the fact that the print of this movie is still available and that too in a reasonably pristine condition, going by the print quality of this picturisation. So kudos to the people who have preserved the print of this movie in such a good condition.

When one speaks of a movie “chhaliyaa”, one is reminded of the 1960 movie starring Raj Kapoor and Nutan which was also the debut movie of Manmohan Desai as a director.

It is a song that I have heard many a times right from my younger days, and I in fact had noted down the lyrics of this song in a diary that I used to maintain in 1970s. This diary had lyrics of songs noted down by me from radio as well as scorecards of test matches (noted down through radio commentary) that India played those days. 🙂

Parbat Pe Apna Dera (1944) is one of the more important creations of V Shantaram. The film deals with the concept of ‘maya’ the enduring allurement of the material world that spares no one. The theme also deals with the consequences fo desires, which are mostly painful and damaging. Briefly, Ulhas is an ascetic who lives alone on a hilltop, and does not allows any visitors or passersby to come to him. Once, Vanmala chances to come face to face with this ascetic, in one of her treks. She is injured, and the ascetic has some cure that relieves her of pain. She is the daughter of a rich person, probably used to having her way. She insists on continuing to meet Ulhas, against his wishes, and continues to bring him gifts, almost setting up a household on the hilltop, once where there was an abode of renunciation. One thing leads to another, and the ascetic ties the nuptial knot with this rich lady, leaves his ‘parbat’ (symbolically the high vantage point of human experience), and comes down to ‘civilization’ to live with his newfound family.

When I began this blog nearly three years ago, I discussed only one song a day. That gave me lots of time to discuss the song. I would have a detailed discussion on the song, and then I would also have a translation of the song.

I have discussed as many as four songs from “Dil e Nadaan” (1953) but I was not aware of this song. This is a delightful song which is sung by Jagjit Kaur. The song is picturised wonderfully well. The picturisation shows Peace Kanwal singing this song, Shyama dancing on it and Talat Mehmood playing the violin. One elderly gentleman is also visible in the picturisation but I am anable to identify it.
