Blog 10-Year Challenge (2009-19) – Song No. 17
————————————————
‘Joshila-1973’ is another movie which I remember to have watched around end of seventies. It was screened during the weekly screening of movies at our ‘colony club’ where we stayed at that time. I never got a chance to watch it again. However, its heart touching song ‘Kiska rasta dekhe ai dil ai saudaayi’ became a permanent memory associated with this movie. This also became to be the most popular and famous song from this movie. Very aptly this movie was launched on this blog with this Kishore Kumar song on 15.03.2009.
Couple of other songs from this movie like ‘Dil mein jo baaten hai aao chalo ham keh den ’ and ‘Kuchh bhi kar lo ik din tumko ’ were also good and they were frequently heard on radio. Having the typical RD touch, they were also heard frequently on radio and loudspeakers.
However, none of the songs from this movie could make it to the annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala -1973’.
All the songs of this movie were written by Sahir Ludhianvi. But at that time, I was not a fan of Sahir Saab and had not read or known much about him. And it is natural for anybody given the age at that time not to bother about other things except listening the songs.
Coming back to our ‘blog ten-year challenge’ let us go through the list of movies of which the songs were represented ten years back on 15.03.2009;
‘Shareef Badmaash-1973’
‘Saawan Ko Aane Do-1979’
‘Joshila-1973’
‘Kashmir Ki Kali-1964’
‘Manzil-1960’
‘Dil Tera Deewaana-1962’
All the above movies except ‘Joshila-1973’ have attained ‘Yippeee’ed status (all songs covered status) on the blog.
That brings us to the today’s movie, a song from which we are going to listen …
‘Joshilaa-1973’ or ‘Joshila’ was directed by Yash Chopra for ‘Trimurti Films Pvt Ltd’. It was produced by Gulshan Rai.
It had Dev Anand, Hema Malini, Pran, Bindu, Madan Puri, Manmohan Krishna, Padma Khanna, Sulochana, Iftekhar, Sudhir, Hercules, Master Satyajit, I.S. Johar, Vikas Anand, Jagdish Raj, S.N. Bannerjee, Chandu Allahabadi, Praveen Kumar, Uma Khosla, Ramlal, Shamlal, Uma Dutt and Nazeer. Rakhi and Mahendra Sandhu had a special appearance in this movie.
And Roopesh Kumar, A.K. Hangal, Sheetal, Ashu and Laxmichhaya in guest appearance.
Story of this movie was written by Gulshan Nanda and screenplay was written by C.J. Pavri and Akhtar Mirza. Diagloues of this movie were written by Akhtar-Ul-Iman. Editing of this movie was done by Pran Mehra.
This movie was passed by censor board on 26.09.1973.
This movie had total eight songs. So far five songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. The other two songs posted (from the three I mentioned above) are ‘Kaanp rahi main ’ and ‘Sona Rupa laayo re ’. The song being posted today is the sixth song from this movie to be posted on the blog.
Also, I was under the impression that the song ‘sharma nan yoon ghabra na yoon’ was already covered, but that remains to be covered.
However, for today’s post I have selected a ‘lesser heard’ song from this movie. (Even I don’t remember to have heard it before preparing of this post).
As mentioned above all songs of this movie were penned by Sahir Ludhianvi and music was composed by R.D. Burman. Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle and Kishore Kumar gave their voices to the songs in this movie. As per HFGK track listing of this movie Dev Anand’s voice is credited in one song.
Lata had two solos and one duet, Asha Bhonsle three solos (including one with Dev Anand’s dialogues) and one duet, and Kishore Kumar having one solo and two duet songs.
I guess that the today’s song and one more Lata solo were excluded* from the movie and hence their video seem to be unavailable. (I request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this.)
*(though HFGK doesn’t have any note about this)
Let us now listen to today’s song. After repeat listening, we may find ourselves humming the other RD gem ‘khaali haath shaam aayi hai’ 🙂 as well. (that is the magic of music or ragas (if I am not wrong 🙂 )

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2009-19) – Song No. 14
————————————————
‘Bobby’ created almost a storm in 1973. This drama of puppy love, completely fresh faces (almost, Rishi Kapoor had already made his mark in the ‘child RK’ role in ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970)), and a love story aimed at an age bracket lower than college going young people – the lovers in this film are just transitioning from high school to college. In the early 1970s, the influence of the hippie movement and free love ideas from the west into the Indian society was still a compelling influence. And the provocative presentation, as is the wont of RK style, ensured that young people of all ages went to see this film multiple times in the theaters.
The story of RK – from ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970) to ‘Bobby’ (1973) is quite well known. ‘Mera Naam Joker’ was designed and produced by RK as his magum opus. He put his everything into that film, both the creativity and the finances – and lost out on the gamble at the box office. Many reasons can be analyzed as to why that happened. ‘Mera Naam Joker’ is a remarkable film, but then maybe RK went overboard in certain aspects. With the huge success of ‘Sangam’ (1964) behind him he gambled that the length of the film won’t be a deterrent to the audience. He called the wrong numbers on the dice. The film was a financial disaster for RK, in its first run. It broke him.
But his resilience to bounce back played out well. After a gap of three years, he came up with ‘Bobby’, and he had the audiences lapping it up, again and again. Some journalist even wrote that RK has extracted his revenge on the system, as well as the audiences, and got compensated many times over for the disaster of ‘Mera Naam Joker’.
‘Bobby’ was also a significant departure for RK banner in another way. The Shankar-Jaikishan duo of music directors had been rendered solo, by the untimely departure of Jaikishan in 1970. RK took a glaring decision to switch music directors, bringing to close an association that had lasted for more than two decades. Many industry observers commented that this was expected. Many others in the industry were shocked by this move. A move that essentially signaled the downturn of Shankar as an MD. He doggedly tried to keep the SJ banner alive but the zest and the verve was gone, forever. The numbers speak for themselves – in 1971, seventeen films were released with music by SJ. Of course, presumably, a fair share of the work on this set of seventeen would have been done while Jaikishan was still alive. The rest of the decade of 1970s tells a grim story. 1972 – 8 films; 1973 – 7 films; 1974 – 4 films; 1975 – 5 films; 1976 – none; 1977 – 2; 1978 – 1; 1979 – 2; 1980 -1. The magic sun of SJ was slowly fading away.
RK switched to Laxmi-Pyaare. From RK’s perspective, this was a correct strategic move. And the results are for everyone to see. Of course, no one can discount the uncanny ability of RK to inspire creation of absolutely wonderful music for his films. And yes, Laxmi-Pyaare delivered to his expectations. The songs of ‘Bobby’ were super hits in their time, and they continue to be in popular demand even now after almost four decades. I am sure I do not need to present the song list to make this point. 🙂
With ‘Bobby’, RK and Laxmi-Pyaare introduced a new and a very different sound to the world of Hindi film music. The name – Narendra Chanchal. A singer with a very expressive, a very deep baritone – a voice with a phenomenal range that rivaled even Mahendra Kapoor in rendering the higher octaves. It is quoted that RK had heard him sing at some religious function. He followed up with some more research, and then decided to bring in this voice for a Sufi-like song in the film.
I remember that the promotion and the publicity presentations for this film was quite low key. The film was introduced without much fanfare. Yes, the choice of moving from SJ to LP did become talk of the town, but nothing much more than that. And this new singer – Chanchal, got introduced to the public, just as is. Working with the expected fare of Lata, Shailendra Singh, Asha and Manna Da, the audiences would be taken by surprise as Chancal would appear in person on the screen, to present this song.
And the song was an immediate hit. Over the years, it has gained almost a cult status. In reasonable memory, this probably was the first Sufi-type song presented in such traditional Sufi garb, in a Hindi film. No, I am not trying to discount all the bhajans and songs of religious expression that came before this. But surely, this song introduced a completely new sound in the Hindi film music space. The genre – picking on the original writings of Bulle Shah, the famous Sufi poet from Punjab. And the voice – no, not choosing Rafi or Manna Dey to render this. Chanchal – a new voice, a new full throated sound, that you had to slightly reduce the volume on the radio or gramophone, as his singing came on.
RK’s uncanny ability to present a song on the screen in a manner that the emotions of the players on screen will grab the emotions in the audience’s mind and heart, and pull the strings, almost viciously. The two young lovers are at a precipice of near break-up. Just recently into their romance, a jarring note of an unexplained misunderstanding tears them apart, oh so cruelly. The young man follows the lady, as she joins a school trip to get away from him. He tries to approach her; she is cold and nonchalant, and the ever chivalrous bystanders give a good beating to the young man. The lady is still silent. And so is the young man, just looking at her imploringly, asking for a chance to explain. The conversation is not entertained. The hearts are pining and wreathing with tears. But the stand-off remains. Explanations are not allowed. The silent gazes of pain, the eyes telling beseeching stories of pleadings. But no, the words are not permitted.
And then, this deep throated sound from a singer sitting in a group of porters, rises to block out and mask all the other sounds in the camp. A voice that delivers the message, the words that the young man is trying to articulate, but is not able to. Those words are compellingly brought out in this loud rustic voice of a folk singer, singing by the campfire, playing on a daff (‘डफ’) in his hand. The memories go back to ‘Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’ (1960). There also, the protagonist plays the daff, when an important message, and the right words are to be delivered.
Over the years, Chanchal did sing, maybe a dozen, or maybe a score more songs in Hindi films. And then he quietly exited and went back to his forte – the world of popular religious bhajans. His success in that field is simply phenomenal, and for everyone to see. Just that he could not jell well with the systems of the tinsel town Mayanagri.
[Author’s Note: After little more research on the internet, we find that the total number of songs sung by Narendra Chancal in Hindi films is about 35. Nahm ji has pointed out in comments another wonderful solo – “Kabhi Gham Se Dil Lagaaya” from film ‘Daaku’ (1975). Other superb solos by him are:
“Meri Zindagi Tumhare Pyaar Pe Kurbaan” – from ‘Jeevan Sangram’ (1974)
“Loot Liya Sansaar” – from ‘Fauji’ (1976)
“Yaar Di Chaukhat Kaaba Kaashi” – from ‘Ram Bharose’ (1977)
“Do Ghut Pila De Saaqiya” – from ‘Kaala Suraj’ (1986)
“Tut Gayi Je Yaari” – from ‘Ramkali’ (1986)
The other songs are duets, group songs, and of course religious bhajans.]
Ten years back, this day, the output on the blog was nothing short of phenomenal. On 10th March, 2009, a total of 12 songs were posted. Atul ji was quite in the pink, and on the roll, during those initial weeks and months of this blog. 12 songs mean that 12 films got represented that day. And ‘Bobby’ made its debut on that day, with the song – “Main Shaayar To Nahin”.
Over the past decade, nine of those films have been yippeee’d, and three remain. As I checked the list, I was somberly surprised that a film like ‘Bobby’, with one superlative song after another, had not yet been yippeee’d here. And mind you, the songs pending are not lightweights. Each one of them is a popular super hit, all by itself.
Quick round up review of credits – the words of this song are adapted and redrafted by Rajkavi Inderjeet Singh Tulsi, based on an original song by Bulle Shah. The music – Laxmi-Pyaare. Singing voice – Narendra Chanchal. On screen, the singer himself is performing the song, carrying the messages between the two young lovers, Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia, who are not communicating, except through the eyes. And the words of this song so powerfully express the unsaid emotions between them.
If you have ever been in love, this song is for you. And yes, if you have ever been in love, this film is for you.
Song – Beshaq Mandir Masjid Todo, Bulle Shaa Ye Kehta (Bobby) (1973) Singer – Narendra Chanchal, Lyrics – Inderjit Singh Tulsi, MD – Laxmikant Pyaarelal

“Ek Naari Do Roop” (1973) was directed by Madhusudan for Cooperative Pictures Bombay. This “social” movie had Shatrughan Sinha, Rashmi, Asha Sachdev, Jr Mehmood, Ifthikar, Madan Puri, Nadira, Roopesh Kumar, Malika, Chaman Puri, Haneychhaaya, Sapru, Lalita Kumara, Maruti, Kajal, Rajni, Moolchand, Qureshi, Ranveer Raj, Subhash, Master Sheroo, Master Ratan, Master Cheekoo etc in it.
The movie had five songs in it. Two songs from the movie have been covered in the blog. The iconic Rafi song, Dil ka soona saaz taraana dhoondhega was the first song from the movie to be covered on 31 july 2008. The second song from the movie was covered four years later in 2013, which was nearly six years ago !
Though the movie is best known for its iconic Rafi song, the other songs in the movie were also wonderful songs to listen to. In fact, when I played the remaining songs, each one of them sounded so pleasing to my ears that I wondered which song I should save for some special occasion. May be that is the reason why I have not been able to cover these songs in the blog.
Instead of any further procrastination, here is the third song from “Ek Naari Do Roop” (1973) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Naqsh Llayalpuri is theb lyricist. Music is composed by Ganesh.
The song is picturised on Rashmi (I guess) and Shatrughan Sinha, with another lady looking on from a distance. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the two ladies seen in the picturisation.
Listening to the song gives one a feeling that the tune resembles another song- and then one realises that the tune is same as the song Main tere ishq me mar na jaaun kahin(Loafer)(1973).
What is the reason for the resemblence ? Both songs were created in the same year. “Loafer”(1973) had music by Laxmikant Pyarelal, where Pyarelal was the brother of Ganesh. Both these movies had Gorakh (brother of Pyarelal and Ganesh) as music arranger. Loafer song was sung by Lata. So it was a special case of same tune being composed by one pair of brothers and sung by another pair of sisters. 🙂
The “Loafer”(1973) song became quite popular. The fact that the song was picturised on Mumtaz obviously had something to do with the popularity of that song. This “Ek Naari Do Roop” (1973) on the other hand was lip synced by an unknown lady who continued to remain unknown even after this movie.
PS-Our inhouse face recognition expert Prakashchandra points out that I had got my identification wrong. It is Asha Sachdev who lip syncs the song while Rashmi looks on from a distance. Prakashchandra also tells us that Rashmi marry Anil Dhawan.
This song is a nice song to listen to, on its own. The same is the case with the other two songs from the movie that remain to be covered. It may have taken more than ten years for three songs of “Ek Naari Do Roop” (1973) out of five to get covered. Now that I have noticed this fact, One can be sure that the remaining songs will find their way into the blog sooner rather than later. 🙂

Song-Zindagi mein sada muskuraate raho (Ek Naari Do Roop)(1973) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Naqsh Llayalpuri, MD-Ganesh
Lyrics
zindagi mein sada muskuraate raho
zindagi mein sada muskuraate raho
muskuraane se gham paas aata nahin
zindagi mein sada muskuraate raho
muskuraane se gham paas aata nahin
kya haqeeqat hai gulshan mein us phool ki
kya haqeeqat hai gulshan me us phool ki
jo bahaaron ka daaman sajaata nahin
zindagi mein sada muskuraate raho
wo fasaana bano jo kahe har jabaan
geet aisa bano jisko gaaye jahaan
wo fasaana bano jo kahe har jabaan
geet aisa bano jisko gaaye jahaan
dard ke saaz par jisko gaana pade
dard ke saaz par jisko gaana pade
aisa naghma koi gungunaata nahin
zindagi mein sada muskuraate raho
aane waale ghamon ka ho gham kis liye
hum karen apni aankhon ko nam kis liye
aane waale ghamon ka ho gham kis liye
hum karen apni aankhon ko nam kis liye
jo sitaara andheron se darta rahe
jo sitaara andheron se darta rahe
raushni ban ke wo jagmagaata nahin
zindagi mein sada muskuraate raho
muskuraane se gham paas aata nahin
zindagi mein sada muskuraate raho

“Dharma”(1973) was directed by Chaand for Kapoor Films Bombay. This “social” movie had Naaveen Nischol, Rekha, Pran, Bindu, Ajeet, Ramesh Deo, Madan Puri, Faryal, Anjali Kadam, Paro, Asit Sen, Mohan Choti, Jayshree T, Rajan Haksar, Sonia Sahni etc in it.
The lead pair, the lyricist as well as the music directors are same as that of “Saawan Bhaado”(1970), so it appears to me that the makers of this movie had signed them up hoping to replicate the success of “Saawan Bhaado”(1970).
“Dharma”(1973) had four songs in it. Three of these songs have been covered in the past. Here are the details of these three songs from the movie:-

| Main teri gunahgaar hoon | 8339 | 13-Jul-13 |
| Arre saaqi jo kal ki hai bachi baaqi | 14501 | 18-Jul-18 |
Here is the fourth and final song from “Dharma”(1973) to appear in the blog. The song is a teasing song along the lines of “Saawan Bhaado”(1970) song Kaan mein jhumka chaal me thumka.
The song is sung by Rafi. Verma Malik is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sonik Omi. Exactly the same musical team as “Saawan Bhaado”(1970). The song is picturised on the same actors as well, viz on Navin Nischol and Rekha.
I have provided the audio as well as video link of the song. There is slight variation in the lyrics of the two versions in the last stanza.
With this song, “Dharma”(1973) joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog.

o laajawaab ho ya koi khwaab ho
nigaah tik na sake jispe tum wo shabaab ho
mubaarak jawaani ka pehla kadam
oy hoy hoy hoy
na satrah se
na satrah se ooper na solah se kam
na satrah se ooper na solah se kam
sada itni umer teri rahe o sanam
o haay haay haay
na satrah se ooper na solah se kam
na satrah se ooper na solah se kam

Here is the fourth and final song from “Rocky Mera Naam”(1973) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Naqsh Llayalpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sapan Jagmohan.
The song is pictrised as a mujra dance song. One expects the dancer to lip sync as well as dance. Here there is distribution of labour. One lady lip syncs and another lady performs mujra. Just imagine similar distribution of labour in cricket bowling as well where one person runs on the bowling runup and another person delivers the ball. 🙂 In olden days, some cricket loving maharajas actually played cricket that way. 🙂
I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the actors visible in the picturisation.
With this song, all the songs of “Rocky Mera Naam”(1973) get covered in the blog and this movie joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog.

Surprise! Surprise!! Surprise!!!
Found one more song, very popular in its times? No, even today. Perfect for the category – How come this song was not posted earlier? It is absolutely amazing that after 14730 posts (number of songs posted will be more as has been explained a few times before) we still find popular songs that are yet to make an appearance on the blog. What to do? Bollywood music is an ocean and we are still standing at the shores.
1973 was the year when Amitabh Bachchan tasted success in the form of Zanjeer. Rishi Kapoor made his debut with Bobby. The stars of the previous set were also in their prime and we had successful movies Anamika, Loafer, Daag, Chhupa Rustam, Raja Rani, Jugnu, Loafer, Do Phool, Banarasi Babu etc having their songs in that years Binaca Geetmala Annual List along with songs from Anuraag, Victoria No. 203, Do Chor, Raja Jani, Shehzaada, Shor, Mere Jeewan Saathi, Rampur Ka Laxman, Parichay, Yeh Gulistan Humara, Gora aur Kala which were movies that released in 1972 but whose songs were still popular in ’73 to figure in the “Saalaana List Of BGM”. The top song from that list is already on the blog- Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi (Zanjeer). Songs number 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 are all on the blog how come only song number 2 got left out? Time to rectify the situation- here is song number 2 from the “Saalaana List Of BGM” as Ameen Sayani would call the list.
The song number 2 was written by Anand Bakshi and Laxmikant Pyarelal were the music directors. It was a favourite (still is I presume) among young love birds who long for privacy. The feeling that no outsider should intrude when one is with one’s beloved as also one doesn’t have to go out when the beloved is around. Does all this sound heavy, literature- kind of stuff. I will simplify it- “Baahar se koi andhar na aa sake, andhar se koi baahar na jaa sake”. Hmm now people understood where I am leading. Isn’t it surprising this song is not yet on the blog.
Raj Kapoor made “Bobby” after the debacle of “Mera Naam Joker”. A voracious reader of “Archie comics” Raj Kapoor thought of a teen-love story which was somewhat in keeping with those times. I remember a scene where Piloo Wadia – friend of the hero’s father- walks into an Irani Restaurant. She is seen by Raj (Rishi Kapoor’s name in the movie) & he rushes into the inner room with his girlfriend, to avoid being caught. He also asks Bobby (Dimple) to keep her feet off the ground as he knows that Piloo Wadia will peep from below the swinging- doors of the room. That is how youngsters used to be back then, possibly this behaviour was more out of respect to the elders or fear of being detected. “Bobby” was successful in bringing Raj Kapoor out of the red and to think that “Bobby” was a standard story of rich boy- poor girl, parents not accepting, lovers running away, and finally parents relent when the lovers threaten dire consequences.
“Bobby” was a departure from all of RK Film’s previous movies on many counts. Laxmikant Pyarelal replaced Shankar Jaikishan as music directors. Anand Bakshi replaced all of Raj Kapoor’s favourite lyricists. Finally, almost all of RK’s films showed the life of the common man with romance being an also-ran but Bobby was all about falling in love, misunderstanding between lovers, making-up etc.
Talking of Laxmikant Pyarelal reminds me today (3 november 2018) is the birth anniversary of Laxmikant- he would have turned 81. His teaming up with Pyarelal Sharma gave Bollywood a huge treasure trove of songs. The statistics page of our blog says that the treasure trove has 2901 songs of which 776 are posted. They hit the right chord with the audience from almost the start of their career as independent composers, having been assistants to Kalyanji Anandji, Sachin Dev Burman etc and even to R D Burman in RD’s debut “Chhote Nawab”. The friendship between RD and L-P was lifelong and RD played the Harmonica for LP’s songs in “Dosti” and Laxmikant made an appearance as himself in “Teri Kasam” which had music by RD.
So, let us remember Laxmikant with this song number 2 of the “Saalaana List Of BGM” or Binaca Geetmala Annual List. It was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Shailendra Singh.
Song-Ham tum ek kamre mein band hon aur chaabhi kho jaaye(Bobby)(1973) Singers-Shailendra, Lata, Lyrics-Anand Bakshi, MD-Laxmikant Pyarelal
Lyrics

“Jaise Ko Taisa”(1973) was directed by M Murugan and M Kumaran for A V M Productions, Madras. This “social” movie had Jeetendra, Reena Roy, Anwar Hussain , Ramesh Deo, Kamini Kaushal, Roja Ramani, Mohan Choti, Dinesh Hingoo, Rajan, Shree Vidya (new discovery), Rajnath, Anand, S L Narayan, Madhukar, Poornam Vishwanathan, Bihari, Ramchandra Rao etc in it.
The movie had six songs in it. One song has been covered in the past. That was the only song from the movie that was aware of.
Here is the second song from “Jaise Ko Taisa”(1973) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Kishore Kumar. Anand Bakshi is the lyricist. Music is composed by R D Burman.
The song is picturised as a “teasing” song on Jeetendra and Reena Roy. The “teased” viz Reena Roy begins to respond to the advances of the teaser as the song progresses. That way, this “teasing” song duly follows the template of this genre of song in Hindi movies.
The movie has a few lines by a female as well, which I guess are uttered by Reena Roy herself.
I heard this song for the first time only today, some 45 years after this song was created. 🙂
Song-Chalte chalte peechhe mud ke dekh zara (Jaise Ko Taisa)(1973) Singer-Kishore Kumar, Lyrics-Anand Bakshi, MD-R D Burman
Lyrics
chalte chalte peechhe mud ke dekh zara
tere raste mein hai tera yaar khada
hey ae
chalte chalte peechhe mud ke dekh zara
tere raste mein hai tera yaar khada
maine kya kah diya
toone kya sun liya
aa maine kya kah diya
tune kya sun liya
ho gayi tu khafa
haay rabba ruk
chalte chalte peechhe mud ke dekh zara
tere raste mein hai tera yaar khada
kyun re
kuchh chaahiye kya re
ae chal phoot
sun le meri kahaani
pahli nazar mein jaani
haan
haan sun le meri kahaani
pahli nazar mein jaani
ki tune meri raani ye beimaani
khoob hai ye ada
apna dil na diya
mera dil le liya
haay rabba ruk
chalte chalte peechhe mud ke dekh zara
tere raste mein hai tera yaar khada
kyun re
ek to meri matki todi
upar se chhedta hai
teri to matki tooti
apna to dil hi toota
haay
teri to matki tooti
apna to dil hi toota
gussa ye chhod jhoothha
o meri roopa
kuchh to insaaf kar
pyar se tu na dar
chal mere saath ghar
haay rabba ruk
chalte chalte peechhe mud ke dekh zara
tere raste mein hai tera yaar khada
o maine kya kah diya
toone kya sun liya
aa maine kya kah diya
tune kya sun liya
ho gayi tu khafa haay rabba ruk

“Bada Kabootar”(1973) was produced and directed by Deven Verma for Navratna Films, Bombay. It was a light hearted movie (routinely categorirised as “social” movie in HFGK) which had Ashok Kumar, Rehana Sultan, Nikhilesh, Deven Verma, Keshto Mukherji, Subroto, Ashoo, Pinchoo Kapoor, Leela Mishra, Paul Sharma, Jal Parvez, Helen etc with lots of “new discoveries” viz Saajan, Kailash Sharma, Sameena, Master Ashwin and Master Ramesh, who quickly reverted back to remain undiscovered.
The movie had five songs in it. Here is the first song from “Bada Kabootar”(1973) in the blog. this song is the title song of the movie which appears gets played in the background while credits roll on the screen. The credits finish off soon enough and so this song has no chance to get played fully in the movie and only the first stanza of the is there in the movie. So one needs to listen to the record version of the song in order to listen to the full song.
Here is this title song of “Bada Kabootar”(1973). It is sung by Bhupinder Singh and chorus. Yogesh is the lyricist of this song whose lyrics are quite un Yogesh like. 🙂
Music is composed by R D Burman.
With this song, “Bada Kabootar”(1973) makes its debut in the blog.
Song-Bada kabootar ud jaayegaa (Bada Kabootar)(1973) Singer-Bhupinder Singh, Lyrics-Yogesh, MD-R D Burman

This article is the 200th writeup of Raja in the blog.

It’s been exactly five weeks since my last post here – but somehow it feels much longer. I’m reminded of that famous dialogue from Aandhi (1975) – “waise to ammavas pandrah din ki hoti hai, lekin is baar bahut lambi thi.” 🙂 These five weeks felt like five months.
One possible reason for this is that this happens to be my 200th post on this blog. So I’ve been on 199 for 5 weeks. Even Mudassar Nazar would be proud of my achievement. 🙂 Since this is IPL season, it’s also safe to say that franchisees wouldn’t exactly be falling over each other, outbidding each other to try to buy me at an IPL auction. 🙂
Not that I haven’t been nudged or reminded about this.
When I sent in my previous post, Atul told me it was my 199th and nudged me to get the 200th soon.
Peevisie’s Mom called me a while ago and reminded me of this.
One of Atul’s recent posts also nudged me (hint, hint!) to run that quick single.
And our Atulite whatsapp group also decided that it was high time.
And so I too decided today – yes, it is high time. This is unacceptable, even by Mudassar standards.
So here is the post – with due apology to everyone for this 5-week delay. And thanks to all who nudged me along the way. I needed it.
Actually, I had planned this 200th much earlier. Since I usually pick anniversaries for my posts, my first idea was Farooque Sheikh’s anniversary. That didn’t happen. Then, I’d planned for Jeetendra’s birthday. On both occasions I’d finalized the song – but, for a variety of reasons that I will not get into right now, I never got around to writing the post. No excuses though – if Atul can write up and post songs every single day, I just cannot have an excuse for taking five weeks for one post. 🙂
I see that these songs aren’t posted yet, so I can still write them up – no need for a specific occasion. In fact, the Jeetu song would be quite suitable for this post too – but I’m going with this particular one because it happens to have Moushumi Chatterjee in it too – and it is Moushumi’s birthday today. The Jeetu song can wait.
The song I’ve picked for today is an iconic song for a particular occasion – the baaraat in a wedding.
When I was very young, the song “meri pyari beheniya banegi dulhaniya” became very popular. Thanks to my name, I used to be constantly teased “bhaiya raja bajaayega baaja”.
This was in addition to another “baaraat” song for which I used to be teased – the famous “raja ki aayegi baaraat” from Aah (1953).
These were both regulars at any baaraat.
And then there was “ghodi pe hoke savaar”, today’s song.
It also became a very popular song for baaraat occasions – especially if the bridegroom was on a horse. The words suit the occasion perfectly, so it was only natural this song would play on the occasion.
“Ghodi pe hoke savaar” was not only popular then – I suspect, it’s still popular. Which is why I was very surprised to discover that it had not yet been posted on this blog. I know Atul has a category along the lines of “how come this song is not yet posted yet”. This song is the mother of all songs in that category, considering it’s almost ten years for this blog now. 🙂
In fact, this film “Ghulam Begum Baadshah” (1973) has not made an entry yet on the blog. So this is a debut for this film here. There’s a 1956 film by the same name which has songs here but, for this film, this is the first.
For me, another category that this song slips into – but is not a recognized category here – is “this song is in THIS film?”.
I’d heard this song umpteen times in my life – but never really got to know the name of the film it was from.
And then, a few years ago, I saw a film “Ghulam Begum Baadshah” (1973) prompted to me on youtube. It piqued my interest – I’d never heard of this film before, it was a 1970s film, it had Moushumi in it (I quite like Moushumi) – so I decided to give it a go.
When the prelude to the song started, I thought it sounded very familiar. And then when the song started, I was totally in this “ye gaana IS film ka hai?” mode. It was a very pleasant surprise.
It wasn’t the only one.
I remember that even the film turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Ok, I had zero expectations from it (that’s usually how I avoid disappointment :-)), but even so, it held my interest to the very end.
I remember there were scenes of patriarchy that annoyed me but what I liked most about the film was Moushumi and her role. From what I remember of her role, it had a lot of spunk.
As we know, in many movies, especially in earlier eras, the women are shown as weaker than the men. They need to be protected, they are subservient, they often don’t even have a mind of their own. They’re subdued, they’re shy. They’re not often shown as smart, thinking women.
In this film, from what I remember of it (I don’t remember the details well), Moushumi is shown as anything but weak. She gives as good as she gets, refusing to cower down to bullying. And when she is in a difficult situation, she finds her own way to get out of it, instead of depending on the male characters to solve her problems for her.
This is what I liked most about the film. And there’s a nice twist at the end too.
The film has Kumud Chugani too – always nice to see her in a film as well.
So if you haven’t watched this film – and want to watch a 1970s film – you could give it a shot. But don’t shoot me if you don’t like it – apni apni pasand. And I don’t claim to have high standards. 🙂
The song itself is by Rafisaab – and considering it’s an early 70s song, it was during his “lean” period. But even during this period, he had popular songs like this one – and “teri galiyon mein na rakhenge kadam” and “aaj mausam bada be-imaan hai”.
I think he does full justice to the song – singing it with gusto, as you’d expect on the occasion of a baaraat. The way midway in the song he pronounces “ghodi” is deliberately upbeat.
The lyrics are by Rajinder Krishan, music by Kalyanji-Anandji.
I hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as I do.
Once again, a very happy birthday to Moushumi Chatterjee. I think I’ve written a full post on her earlier – she was one of my favourite heroines in the 70s.
Whew! Got that 200th out of the way. Relief! 🙂 And thanks for tolerating me for these 200 posts.
Song-Ghodi pe hoke sawaar (Ghulaam Begam Baadshah)(1973) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-Kalyanji Anandji
