Sometime back, I had come across a list of unreleased songs of Mohammed Rafi on the internet. The number of such songs were close to 100. A scrutiny of the songs revealed that these were not necessarily unreleased songs. Some songs were from unreleased films which were released later on gramophone records in some cases. Then, there were songs which were composed for released films but were not picturised. Some songs were deleted from films mainly to reduce the length of the films. Some of the songs in the list have already been covered in our Blog.
To begin with, I checked from the list to see which of the songs, especially of 1940s and 50s are available on the video sharing platforms which are yet to be covered on the Blog. From the list, I found two of the earliest songs among others rendered by Rafi for an unreleased film, ‘Geet Aur Aansoo’ (1940s) which are yet to be covered in the Blog. I am presenting one of Rafi’s two songs in the film, ‘maut uski jawaani pe lalchaayi’. The song has somewhat unusual lyrics by Surjeet Sethi.
Arun ji has confirmed that not much details about the film in HFGK such as the name of the director, star cast and other crews of the film is available except that it was produced under the banner of S. S. Moviemakers. One website (myswar.com) has shown the film as that of 1947 but as unreleased and has listed 7 songs in the film of which 2 songs were sung by Mohammed Rafi, 4 songs by Kusum Mantri and remaining one song sung by S Mohinder who was the music director. SAREGAMA has also listed S Mohinder as the music director for three mp3 clips of the songs of the film. All the songs were written by Surjeet Sethi.
I find from the filmography of S Mohinder that in most of the films for which he was the music director, Surjeet Sethi wrote lyrics for him. He wrote lyrics for S Mohinder in ‘Sehra’ (1948), ‘Neeli’ (1950), ‘Bahadur’ (1953), ‘Paapi’ (1953) and ‘Sau Ka Note’ (1955). After 1955, Surjeet Sethi seems to have given up writing lyrics for the film. After a gap of many years, Surjeet Singh’s name propped up as a producer-director-lyricist of an obscure film ‘Sandli’ (1980s, UR) for which S. Mohinder was the music director.
‘Geet Aur Aansoo’ (1940s UR) raises a point to ponder as to which was the debut film of music director S. Mohinder – ‘Sehra’ (1948) which has been marked as such or ‘Geet Aur Aansoo’ (1940s) songs of which were supposed to have been recorded in 1947? Surprisingly, I have not come across in any article on S. Mohinder or his interviews in which he had ever mentioned ‘Geet Aur Aansoo’ while discussing his film music.
I personally feel that ‘Geet Aur Aansoo’ may be the debut film both for music director, S. Mohinder and lyricist, Surjeet Sethi. First, the style of singing of Mohammed Rafi reminds me of his song in ‘Jugnu’ (1947). Secondly, I came to know from the Rajya Sabha interview which S Mohinder gave about 4 years back that he and Surjeet Sethi got acquainted with each other only during their train journey from Lahore to Bombay Central in May 1947, a few months before on the partition. During the conversation in the train, Surjeet Singh introduced himself as a shaayar. Their friendship in Mumbai may have led to their collaboration in ‘Geet Aur Aansoo’ (1940s, UR) and some more films.

Song-Maut uski jawaani pe lalchaayee (Geet Aur Aansoo)(1947) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Surjeet Sethi, MD-S Mohinder
Lyrics
maut uski jawaani pe lalchaayi
liya aagosh mein jyonhi wo muskaayi
maut uski jawaani pe lalchaayi
uski hansi ne khud ko naashaad kiya aa aa aa aa
uski hansi ne khud ko naashaad kiya aa aa aa
uski shokhee ne khud ko barbaad kiya
usko le doobi uski hi angdaayi
maut uski jawaani pe lalchaayi
liya aagosh mein jyonhi wo muskaayi
maut uski jawaani pe lalchaayi
mil gayi raakh mein aaj uski jawaani
mil gayi raakh mein aaj uski jawaani
maut ki dulhan bani wo husn ki raani ee
naseeb-e-maut ab teri kahaan sunaayi(?)
maut uski jawaani pe lalchaayi
liya aagosh mein jyonhi wo muskaayi
maut uski jawaani pe lalchaayi
lalchaayi
lalchaayi

Missing Films of 1960s – 42
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
IS Johar had a lead of three years over Raj Kapoor. His film ‘Mera Naam Johar’, released in 1967, preceded the great showman’s masterpiece ‘Mera Naam Joker’ which came in 1970. It is a matter of conjecture now, as to who inspired whom. 🙂
So this film is the debut film for today. IS Johar was going very strong, and travelling to many destinations in the 1960s. In 1965 we saw him in ‘Goa’ with Memood. In 1966, he travelled to ‘Kashmir’. Then in 1967, along with the proclamation that his name is ‘Johar’, he also appeared in ‘Bombay’. His next trip was somewhat delayed, considered that he travelled overseas to ‘Hong Kong’ in 1971, once again in Mehmood’s company.
The film is produced under the banner of Sudershan Chitra, Bombay, and is directed by Saran Kant. Besides himself in lead role, other members of the cast include Sonia Sahni, Dhoomal, Aruna Irani, Raj Mehra and Tiwari amongst others. The film has 6 songs listed. Music is from the mind of Usha Khanna. Two songwriters are listed – Asad Bhopali and Qamar Jalaalabaadi. However, only three of the songs have a specific lyricist identified. For this song, the lyricist name has not been identified. This song is written by Qamar Sb. (This information is actually available in the addenda to the volume IV of Geet Kosh, which I missed referring to earlier.)
The song is delivered in a very comical situation. And the songwriter has written some very catchy lines to match the situation. Apparently it seems that IS Johar and Sonia Sahni have to make a getaway from the clutches of the villain’s gangsters, who are blocking the roads even, and screening the people coming and going. And the way out found by the hero is something that can happen only in IS Johar films. They form a funeral procession, and they have Sonia Sahni acting like a dead body, being carried in the traditional funerary ‘takht’ on the shoulders of a group of people. IS Johar, with his head tonsured and wearing only a dhoti, seems to be the epitome of the prime mourner, carrying the traditional fire in a ‘matka’.
He leads the singing, with this song in the voice of Mahendra Kapoor. The group of people accompanying him includes people who are playing the ‘dholak’ and ‘khartaal’ etc. The procession meets the villain’s henchmen in a sort of a road block. And IS Johar is singing and telling the entire real story – that the dead body is actually ‘zinda’ (alive), and that they are making good an escape with no one the wiser.
The play acting is so convincing that the henchmen who are leading this group of baddies, actually come forward and shoulder the funerary carriage for some distance, even singing along with the group. A most hilarious situation contrived by the director, and so brazenly and blatantly executed by IS Johar and company. IS Johar looks so convincing in his role as a fake mourner, and as he sings along the lines in which he is indicating the truth of the situation, only if someone would listen ‘between the words’. . . – “Jaane Waala Chala Hai Dekho Rok Sakey Na Koi” 🙂
See, listen and enjoy.
