“Jab Andhera Hota Hai” was the title of the song that played with the titles of the Sharmila Tagore- Rajesh Khanna starrer “Raja Rani” which released in 1973. This is that song.
Soon after, in 1974, Deepak Bahry directed a movie which was titled “Jab Andhera Hota Hai”; which was a Kailash Chpora production. That film had music by Sapan Chakraborty, & Gulshan Bawra was the lyricist. Asha Bhonsle, Bhupinder Singh & Nitin Mukesh gave their voices to the four songs of the film.

Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 40
Today’s song “Yeh Hum Jaante Hain” is from “Aaj Ki Dhara” 1977. It is sung by Asha Bhosle, with music by Sapan-Jagmohan and lyrics by Naqsh Lyallpuri.
“Aaj Ki Dhara (Aaj Ki Radha) is a social drama that underwent production challenges and censorship issues, notably over its title. Featuring a stellar ensemble of actors—Mahendra Sandhu, Rehana Sultan, Waheeda Rehman, Danny Denzongpa, and Ranjeet—the film centers on an ordinary person’s courageous fight against societal corruption and injustice, highlighting themes of morality, family, and the individual’s place within traditional social structures. Its music, with evocative melodies and emotionally rich lyrics, complements the film’s tone, even as its production history remains a notable part of its story.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
(Gulzar Saab’s 92nd Birthday 18th August 2025)
In this post I am presenting a song from a movie released in the year 1975. All songs of this movie have already been covered in the blog, which means the today’s song is an additional song which was not available at that time. This song was recorded, but it was not released on the records of this movie. This song was not picturised in the movie. Thanks to the fans of Pancham Da (and thanks a lot to Mili Bhattacharya jee, who had the recording (spool) of this song) and ‘Pancham Magic –Pune’ that this song is now available on internet for our listening pleasure. This song was released on internet on 27th June 2022.
This song was recorded for the movie ‘Khushboo-1975’. This movie was passed by the Censor Board on 08.05.1975. Which means this movie has already completed fifty years of its existence. This movie was directed by Gulzar Saab. He also wrote the dialogues, lyrics, and screenplay (shared with D.N. Mukherjee and Bhooshan Banmali).

उर्मिले त्रिवार वंदन तुला (Urmile trivaar vandan tulaa) is a Marathi non-film bhajan rendered by Ram Phatak which I used to listen on the radio in my younger days. The meaning of the first line is ‘hey Urmila, my thrice salute to you’. The salutation by the poet is because she was an unsung character in Ramayan. She was the wife of Lakshman and younger sister of Seeta. When Ram was exiled along with Seeta for 14 years, Lakshaman decided to accompany Ram and Seeta to protect them during the exile. Urmila also wanted to join Lakshman. But she was asked by Lakshman to stay back and take care of his aged parents in Ayodhya during their absence. During those 14 years, Urmila is said to have slept continuously so that Lakshman can remain awake to protect Ram and Seeta.
I had forgotten about this Marathi song for a long time. While I was researching on Khayyam for writing a tributary article on the occasion of his 6thth Remembrance Day on August 19, 2025, I realised that his wife, Jagjit Kaur was the ‘Urmila’ in his life who sacrificed her aristocratic life to marry a struggling music director. While the selflessness of Urmila cannot be strictly comparable as Jagjit Kaur and her husband Khayyam spent their life together. But, apart from her aristocratic comfort, she sacrificed her playback singing career after her marriage with Khayyam sometime in 1954 in her own volition as she had said in her interviews. She did not seek playback singing assignments either from her husband or from others. Instead, she decided to assist her husband in whatever manner – either professionally or on the domestic front. She had said in an interview as late as 2019 that she recorded the song under Khayyam only because the scheduled playback singers did not turn up for recording the songs or the producers/directors of the films suggested her name for the songs.
