Je hum tum chori se

I have posted many Mukesh solo songs in this blog, and most of them were “sad” songs of different denominations and varieties. This particular song is a duet, and moreover, it is not a sad song. So here is a Mukesh song, sung with Lata from “Dharti Kahe Pukaar ke” that can surely qualify to be called a gem.

There are songs that I heard three decades ago, liked them and then forgot all about them. I have been re-discovering quite a few such songs now a days, as I keep mentioning in my posts.

“Do Raaste” was one of the earlier hits of Rajesh Khanna. This movie, like most hits of Rajesh Khanna, had many hit songs. In fact, I am coming round to the view that many movies of those days became hits thanks to their music and the credit went to the Hero, often undeservedly. There are people who think that Rajendra Kumar movies were hits thanks to the music of his movies, and not because of his tragic roles.

I have mentioned in the past that I had a diary in 1970s, in which I noted down the lyrics of the songs that I liked the most. A few of the songs noted at that time have become forgotten, though they are just as good to listen to now as they were then.

As a small kid, I had heard about three monkeys of Gandhiji that symbolised- “bura mat suno, bura mat dekho, bura mat kaho.” So when I actually heard a song with the same lyrics, I naturally liked this song. It became one of my favourite songs of that era.

Here is a song that is barely known to people like me who actually lived through the era when this movie was released. The reason why this song is unknown are many, for one, this movie, “Talaash” had the misfortune of being released simultaneously with Aradhana. The songs of Talaash, though great in their own right, suffered in comparison with “Aradhana”. Most of the songs from this movie were very nice to listen to, but the problem was, they became forgotten with time.
This particular song is a classical music based song, and ordinary public can be counted upon to keep away from such music. But now, with the benefit of hind sight, and after one listens to the song a few times, this song starts growing on it.

It is often said that Madan Mohan made the best use of Lata’s voice. And he certainly did so. But what about this song ? The music of this song is by S D Burman. Listen to this song and tell me, has Lata sung any better, and sounded any better, than she does in this song ?
The lyrics of Majrooh are profound- couched in simple words, and just reading the lyrics hardly registers anything in one’s mind, but once Lata gives voice to these lyrics, one is left spellbound. The way her voice move up and down and sideways, like an expert driver driving on topsy turvy terrain, that leaves one wanting for more of this song.
