We tend to discuss great songs from the past and go overboard discussing about the great message, great quality of melody, music, lyrics, voice etc contained in the songs. Here is one such song which has absolutely no pretentions of any kind about being a great song. It is a totally timepass song. This song was supposed to be there just to raise a few laughs in the movie. It indeed does so, but it has managed much more than that.

Rajesh Khanna, the superstar of late 1960s and early 1970s had fans swooning over his mannerisms. Whatever he touched turned to gold those days.
Maryada was a movie where he acted opposite the ageing heroine Mala Sinha. This movie, though largely forgotten now, had some awesome songs. One Mukesh song from this movie, viz “jubaan pe dard bhari daastaan chali aayi” has already appeared in this blog.

Listening to Binaca geetmala on wednesday nights is one of my most memorable moments of 1970s. If I am asked to name one song from Binaca geetmala that stands out in memory, then this particular song has to be that. This song appeared to be playing every time I listened to Binaca geetmala weekly programmes. If one looks dispassionately, neither this song, nor any other song from this movie figured in Binaca geetmala finals, but at that time, this movie and other songs from this movie appeared to be all over Binaca geetmala.

This song is a great discovery, I must say. This song is filmed on Danny, then an esoteric looking item of curiosity for Bollywood movie watchers. He looked every bit a chinky that his Sikkimese origin warranted, and moreover, he had yet to become accepted as an actor for mainstream roles. With time, his looks became accepted as mainstream, and he in fact started playing roles like Thakur saab, Heroine’s baap etc.

I have an old diary where I noted down lyrics of songs that I liked those days ( in 1976). I find that many of the songs that I have written down in that diary are popular even today. On the other hand, some very popular songs of those days have been forgotten.
Here is one such forgotten song. Now a days when we are rediscovering old gems, here is my contribution towards that exercise. This song is certainly an old gem of R D Burman, which deserves to be cleaned and dusted, and put on display as one of the masterpieces of R D Burman.

Old songs were not always serious songs or classical songs. There used to be light hearted timepass songs as well, which were not expected to become evergreen songs even by their composers. Popular impression among fans is that Kishore Kumar sang happy songs, Mukesh sang sad songs etc. In reality, every leading singer sang songs of different moods.
Take Rafi for example. He has sung songs covering the entire gamut of human emotions- right from devotional songs to tapori songs. And he would do justice to every song, however insignificant the music director, or the movie, or the actors may be.
