Hullo Atuldom
Born into the film industry. Married into another famous movie-making family. Debut film (in Hindi) with a star-son; a Khan at that. In fact, heroes in her first six films had KHAN as their last name.
I am speaking of Rani Mukherjee who was born into the Mukherjee-Samarth family. Her father Ram Mukherjee was the son of Ravindramohan Mukherjee who was Sashadhar Mukherjee’s (founder of Filmalaya studios) brother. Her mother is the playback singer Krishna Mukherjee. Additionally her brother is director Raja Mukherjee. So that is Rani’s maayka.
She is married to Aditya Chopra; Yash Chopra’s son. ‘Shadaab Khan’ (Amjad Khan’s son) in ‘Raja ki Aayegi Baraat’; ‘Aamir Khan’ in ‘Ghulam’; ‘Shahrukh Khan’ in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’; ‘Faraaz Khan’ (son of Yusuf Khan a.k.a Zebisco of ‘Amar Akbar Anthoy’) in ‘Mehndi’; ‘Salman Khan’ in ‘Hello Brother’; were her first five movies with the Khans. The sixth film, that I spoke of at the start of this post, ‘Mann’ had Rani only for a song where she shared screen time with Aamir Khan for a song.
Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Abhishek Bachchan, Govinda, where the other heroes she was usually cast opposite in the first few years of her career. She also played Kamal Haasan’s wife in ‘Hey Ram’; incidentally Shahrukh Khan also had a role in the film, not opposite Rani though.
Subsequent films saw her in a few two-heroine films like ‘Chori Chori Chupke Chupke’; ‘Kahin Pyaar Na ho jaaye’; ‘Mujhse Dosti Karoge’ etc.
Movies with Rani Mukherjee were full of good songs, and commercial entertainers. Today she turns a year older- 45 to be exact.
Last Friday saw the release of “Mrs Chatterjee v/s Norway” which has Rani playing a mother and the promos show her to be playing some kind if activist. She has been seen in this type of movies since 2011 when she appeared in ‘No one killed Jessica’.
The song with this post is from her debut film ‘Raja ki Aayegi Baraat’ (1996). Other than Rani Mukherjee & Shadaab Khan the film also had Saeed Jaffery, Raja Murad, Gulshan Grover, Divya Dutta, Asrani, Shashi Sharma, Mohnish Behl, Goga Kapoor, Yunus Parvez etc. in the cast. The film showed Rani playing a girl with happy dreams of marriage and a rosy life. These dreams are shattered when Shadaab Khan enters her life, rapes her to avenge her humiliating him etc. But Shadaab is forced to marry Rani as a punishment for his crime against her by the judge played by Yunus Parvez. Rani uses this opportunity to get even with her tormentor but the couple end up falling in love and the marriage becomes a success. There are some twists and turns before the movie ends in a “marriage baraat”; the kind which Rani had dreamt of.
Let us wish Rani a Happy Birthday with this song which sees Rani living her dream of a “Grand Baraat” at her wedding.
Song-Raaja ki aayee hai baaraat (Raja Ki aayegi Baaraat)(1996) Singer-Vijeyta Pandit, Lyrics-Sameer, MD-Aadesh Srivastava
Female chorus
Lyrics
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
main to naachoon hilaa ke roomaal mere aangan mein
aangan mein
sabke chehre khil rahe hain
masti aisi hai chhaayi
haaye
masti aisi hai chhaayi
phool barse
rang bikhre
mil rahi hai badhaayi
haaye haaye
mil rahi hai badhaayi
ye to bade hi shagun ki hai baat mere aangan mein
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
main to naachoon hilaa ke roomaal mere aangan mein
aangan mein
dulhe raaja janch rahe hain
baandh ke sar pe sehra
haaye
baandh ke sar pe sehra
is khushi mein lag raha hai
waqt jaise ho thahra
haaye haaye
waqt jaise ho thahra
saath dulhan ke saj gayi raat mere aangan mein
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
main to naachoon hilaa ke roomaal mere aangan mein
aangan mein
bhaabhi meetha munh karaaye
note bahnon ne waare
haaye haaye
note bahnon ne waare
bin piye hi jhoom rahe hain paapa jee bhi hamaare
haaye
paapa jee bhi hamaare
aisi khushiyon ki huyi barsat mere aangan mein
raaja ki aayi hai baaraat mere aangan mein
main to naachoon hilaa ke roomaal mere aangan mein
aangan mein
oye
oye
oye oye oye
Jawaan ho yaaron ye tumko hua kya

Hullo Atuldom
The screen turns to a dark, cloudy sky. There is thunder and lightning. A shimmering disk appears against this backdrop, accompanied by music that has certain magical quality about it. As the background score gently works its way to a crescendo, finishing with a flourish of cymbals, a Greek column-like pedestal, bearing the ‘NH Films’ insignia appears against a smoke-filled screen. Almost instantly a booming voice recites a couplet, with a soft but distinct drum roll accompanying the oration. The couplet goes:
Kya ishq ne samjha hai, kya husn ne jaana hai
Hum khaaq-nasheenon ki thokar mein zamaana hai
The voiceover ends with an emphatic drumbeat. The credits follow led by the opening credit, NASIR HUSAIN FILMS Presents…..
This is from the introductory page of the book “Music Masti Modernity- The cinema of NASIR HUSAIN” by Akshay Manwani – a gift that my daughter gave me last year for Mother’s Day. From the book I learnt that Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was Nasir Husain’s mother’s maternal uncle. He (Nasir Husain) was the fourth of five children with Tahir Husain being his younger brother. Actors Tariq (of kya hua tera waada) and Aamir Khan are his nephews where Tariq is his older brother – Anees’s son and Aamir is Tahir Husain’s son. His grandson Imran Khan (daughter Nuzhat’s son) is an actor. A very interesting trivia that I learnt from the book is that Nasir Sa’ab’s wife – Ayesha Khan- was born Margaret Francina Lewis, and she was an assistant choreographer in films.Subodh Mukherjee used his assistant Nasir and the choreographer’s assistant whenever he setup shots and almost played cupid in their life.
We (the regular followers of this blog) know that Nasir Husain began his life in the film industry as a writer at Filmistan when the screenwriter Aghajani Kashmeri fell ill and Nasir Sa’ab was asked to complete the unfinished dialogues for “Chandni Raat” (1949); the book says he was not credited for this. We also know that he went on to produce and direct films and gave audiences breezy musical romantic entertainers right till the 1980s when he directed “Zabardast” (1985) which was produced by Mushir-Riaz which had Rati Agnihotri- Jaya Prada- Tanuja- Geeta Kak- Sunny Deol- Rajiv kapoor- Sanjeev Kumar- Amrish Puri and others in the cast.
1988 saw Nasir Sa’ab’s son Mansoor Khan turn director with “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” which was produced by Nasir Husain Films, and the story-screenplay and dialogues were by Nasir Husain. The next two films directed by Mansoor Khan- “Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar” {JJWS (1992)} and “Akele Hum Akele Tum” (1995) also had dialogues by Nasir Husain. That means career began and ended Nasir Sa’ab with being a writer. I think he hung up his boots post this.
“Yaadon Ki Baraat” (1973) made by Nasir Husain Films had a long song which changes beat/ tempo etc. with ‘Dil mil gaye toh um khil gaye’- which is almost like a second song with a life of its own. The song closes with Tariq, Zeenat Aman, Vijay Arora and the whole audience breaking into ‘Dum Maro Dum’ and we get the third song. Nasir Husain repeated this kind of song picturisation in ‘Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin’ and ‘Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai’. Mansoor Khan followed his father’s formula of two-three songs in one with ‘Jawaan ho yaaro yeh tumko hua kya’; ‘deewane hum pyar ke, parwaane hum pyar ke’ and ‘Naam hai mera Fonseca” in “JJWS”. Today we shall see one of the three.
We can see Aamir Khan, Ayesha Julka, Pooja Bedi, Deepak Tijori, Mamik Singh, Kiran Jhaveri, Deven Bhojani etc in this stage song which is sung by Udit Narayan and Vijeyta Pandit. It is written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Jatin-Lalit.
Incidentally 13th March was Nasir Husain’s death anniversary and 14th March is Aamir Khan’s birthday. So here is a song connecting the Uncle and Nephew.

Song-Jawaan ho yaaron ye tumko hua kya(Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar)(1992) Singers-Udit Narayan, Vijeyta Pandit, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Jatin Lalit
Udit Narayan + Vijeyta Pandit
Lyrics
jawaan ho yaaron
yeh tumko hua kya
aji hamko dekho zara aa
jawaan ho yaaron
yeh tumko hua kya
aji hamko dekho zara
ye maana abhi hain khaali haath
na honge sada yahi din raat
kabhi toh banegi apni baat
arre yaaron
mere pyaaron
meri maano
ho dildaaron
jawaan ho yaaron
yeh tumko hua kya
aji hamko dekho zara
yeh maana abhi hain khaali haath
na honge sada yahi din raat
kabhi toh banegi apni baat
arre yaaron
mere pyaaron
meri maano ho dildaaron
mehnat se miley jo
uspe guzaar
dooje ke maal ko
thhokar se maar
aayegi idhar bhi
ek din bahaar
hoga yeh zamaana
ham pe nisaar
yeh maana abhi hain khaali haath
na honge sada yahi din raat
kabhi toh banegi apni baat
arre yaaron
mere pyaaron
meri maano ho dildaaron
isko chhoona nahin
hey raam raam
ye toh hai paap ki
gathhri tamaam
kab yeh rut badal jaaye
kisko khabar
lag jaaye hamein bhi
sone ke par
phir aise udenge
ham sab yaar
gulon se ladegi motar car
haseena hogi gale ka haar
arre yaaron mere pyaaron
meri maano ho dildaaron
jawaan ho yaaron
yeh tumko hua kya
aji hamko dekho zara
yeh maana abhi hain khaali haath
na honge sada yahi din raat
kabhi toh banegi apni baat
arre yaaron
mere pyaaron
meri maano ho dildaaron
