Today’s song is from the film Zingaro-1963.
This Costume film was produced and directed by Chandrakant. It had music by S.N.Tripathi. The cast of the film was Jairaj, Jabeen jalil, Tiwari, Bela Bose, Maruti, Aruna Irani, Mrudula, Baburao Pehelwan and others. From this cast, actors Jairaj and Baburao Pehelwan and actresses Mrudula and Jabeen Jalil are the artistes who were quite capable, but somehow LUCK did not favour them and they fell aside from Big Banners and well known films.
I feel really sad for Mrudula, who was the heroine of Dilip Kumar in his Debut film Jwar Bhata-1944. It was the Debut film for Mrudula too, but see where Dilip Kumar reached -to be India’s famous and A grade top Hero, whereas Mrudula never reached that level. She was good looking and a capable actress. The question is, then why did she fall back in the race ? The simple but unknown answer is – she became a victim of the Studio system.
Till the end of the 1940’s decade, the Studio System was very strong. Initially films were promoted and sold on the names of the studio making it. The names of actors were not even mentioned on the posters and in the booklets. Thanks to actress Sulochana Sr. (Ruby Meyers), who fought for it and names of actors started appearing on the posters and in booklets, albeit in smaller types than the names of studios. If you see the advertisements in old issues of magazines like Film India (whose old issues are freely available on the Internet), you will notice what I am saying.
Due to the Contract system of studios and adamant natures of the studio owners, careers of many actors, actresses and singers were ruined. The culprits were Prabhat, Minerva, Shalimar, Bombay talkies etc. Some tough and courageous artistes like Shanta Apte, Master Vithal and Meena Shorey could get their freedom from giants like Sharda, Prabhat and Minerva, but many others spoiled their careers. Some examples are Mrudula from Bombay Talkies, Manju from Prabhat, Sitara Kanpuri and Shama Dulari from Shalimar etc.
Mridula ( real name Chandrakanta) was born on 2-11-1924 at Almora, but was educated in Delhi. When she was in college doing her graduation, Amiya Chakravarty of Bombay Talkies came to Delhi on a Talent Hunt. He contacted her and gave her an offer. She signed a 5 year contract with Bombay Talkies and Devika Rani became her Mentor, teaching her everything. She was paid 2500 rupees salary with a furnished house. Her first film was “Jwar Bhata”-44, opposite another Debutant Dilip Kumar (Yousuf Khan). After Himanshu Rai’s death, Bombay Talkies was already in disarray. Many people had left the company due to differences with Devika Rai. A group of them formed Filmistan.
She got married to her lover Mr. G C Andley. However the marriage was unsuccessful and she went back to Delhi. She spent a miserable life selling whatever she had to survive. She got divorce and came back to Bombay to work in films, in 1954. She worked in 53 films in all. Her last released film was Saboot-80, though she had married again and retired some time before that.
Mridula was also a victim of her contract with Bombay Talkies. It destroyed her career as a Heroine forever. Devika Rani was her Mentor in Bombay Talkies. However, after Himanshu Rai’s death, no one was listening to her in the company due to groupism. Disgusted, Devika rani left Bombay Talkies, having sold all the shares. Mridula got stuck in the company without work, due to her 5 year contract. It was Vijay Bhatt of Prakash Pictures who somehow convinced Bombay Talkies to loan her to him and she got roles in 2 of their films. In the film ‘Bhakta Dhruva”-47, she played mother to 16 year old Shashi kapoor (sr) when she herself was about 23 year old only ! But she had no choice. The film and her role became famous, but she lost her chances of becoming Heroine in any film thereafter.
Till 30-9-2016 she was living in Worli, Mumbai all alone. Her only daughter stayed nearby and looked after her. There is no news about her anymore.
The other actress who could not or did not go far in the film industry was Jabeen Jalil. She did only 24 films ( plus 5 films unreleased) in the span of 20 years from 1954 to 1974. It was not due to the studio system, but simply due to bad luck.
Jabeen Jaleel was a short, petite but attractive actress. She was born on 1st April 1936 in Delhi, but was educated in Japan and Bombay, as her father was in foreign services of India. She used to take part in college dramas and in one such drama the judges were Nigar Sultana and her director husband S.M.Yusuf. They offered her a film as a Heroine. Jabeen’s father had expired and only mother and younger brother were there. She accepted the offer. Her first film was Guzara in 1954. Her second film in 55 was Lutera. Her first hero was Karan Dewan and second was Nasir khan. She became famous in New Delhi-56, in the role of Kishore’s sister Nikki’s role. She acted in 29 films, out of which 5 were unreleased. She also acted in 4 Punjabi films. She got a National award in 1962 for a Punjabi film in which her Hero was Prem Chopra.
She was a popular actress of Hindi cinema of the 50s & 60s. Although She acted in merely 24 Hindi ( plus 5 films were unreleased) & 4 Punjabi films in her almost 20 years career, she made millions of fans of her beauty and wonderful acting. She has worked with top Bollywood stars like Shashi Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Kishore Kumar, Dev Anand & Pradeep Kumar during 1955 to 1965.
Jabeen made her film debut with Guzaara (1954) where her hero was Karan Dewan. Her second film was Lutera (1955) where her hero was Nasir Khan. She however got true recognition with her third film, New Delhi (1956) where she played the role of Kishore Kumar’s sister Nikki. She got benefitted by the success of New Delhi. In the late 1950s, many films starring her released, including Char Minar, Fashion, Jeevan Sathi, Hathkadi, Panchayat, Raagini, Bedard Zamana Kya Jaane and Raat ke Raahi. In the 60s, Jabeen acted in films like Batwara, Khiladi, Sachche Moti, Taj Mahal and Raju. The Batwara song “Yeh Raat Yeh Fizaayen Phir Aayen Na Aayen” picturised on her and Jawahar Kaul is popular to this day. She also got the National Award for the 1962 Punjabi film Chaudhary Karnail Singh in which her hero was Prem Chopra. Jabeen acted in three other Punjabi movies Kadi Dhoop Kadi Chhaon, Geet Baharaan De & Aye Dharti Punjab Di.
Many songs picturised on her were extremely popular including ‘Tum Aur Hum…’ (Fashion), ‘Madbhari Yeh Pyaar Ki Palken…’ (Fashion), ‘Ta Thaiyya Karte Ana…’ (Panchayat), ‘Piya mai hoon patang tu dor…’ (Raagini), ‘Qaid mein Hai Bulbul Sayyad Muskuraye…’ (Bedard Zamana Kya Jaane), ‘Door Kahin Tu Chal…’ (Bedard Zamana Kya Jaane), ‘Aa Bhi Ja Bewafa…’ (Raat Ke Rahi), ‘Tu Kya Samjhe Tu Kya Jaane…’ (Raat Ke Rahi) and ‘Ek Nazar Ek Ada…’ (Raat Ke Rahi).
Jabeen Jalil quit films in 1974 after wrapping up her career with the film Vachan. In 2008 she had produced a movie “Pehli Nazar Ka Pyaar”.
Jabeen got married in the year 1968. Her Husband Ashok Kak is of Kashmiri Origin & hailed from Jodhpur. He was President of the Kodak Company and was the youngest CEO of that time. After moving away from films Jabeen was active in social work also. Jabeen and her family stayed in America for 10 years. The family moved back to Mumbai in 1998. She lives with her husband, son and elderly mother-in-law in her flat in South Bombay and divides her time between playing the devoted wife and the ideal mother.Her son Divvij Kak is also an actor and Jabeen became a producer with Jabeen International. She lives in Dadar, Mumbai nowadays.
Today’s film is the routine King, Queen and Vazier type story. For a change, the Vazier is good but the Queen is evil. The story of the film is……
A ruler’s demise leaves a kingdom in turmoil, with a fight over which of his two wives should become queen mother. The honor goes to the elder queen, much to the dismay of Chandrasen (Tiwari), who hoped his sister would gain the position.
Mad for power, Chandrasen meets a holy man who requires seven virgins to be sacrificed to his guru. The holy man gives Chandrasen a magic flower that will allow him to take any form, and he uses it to become a duplicate of the God that is worshiped by the jungle people. He is challenged by Zingaro (Jairaj), a swarthy young jungle man, so Chandrasen turns his servant, Bahadur, into a copy of Zingaro and orders him to abduct girls from the village.
The Queen mother begs someone to capture Zingaro, but because of his legendary prowess and strength, nobody is brave enough to take the challenge except Kiran (Jabeen), the daughter of Diwan, the late king’s loyal assistant. Kiran finds Zingaro, but Zingaro convinces her of his innocence and the two set out together to capture the impostor who is committing the crimes. They apprehend the fake and throw him in jail, but Chandrasen’s magic flower helps set him free. Chandrasen then kidnaps Kiran and locks her up in his palace.
Zingaro, searching for Kiran, is arrested and Kiran must now figure out a way to save herself and Zingaro. Zingaro gets help from his friends and escapes. He finds about the magic flower, secures it and then changes the picture, Kiran is freed and the younger queen and her brother Chandrasen are arrested and hanged. Zingaro destroys the magic flower. he and Kiran get married.
Today’s song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor, who seems trying to copy Rafi style unsuccessfully. This is the last and final song and the film gets YIPPEED, with all its songs covered. Enjoy the song….

This article is the 18200th song post in the blog.

Blog Day : |

It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This is a Chinese saying which teaches us that even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one first step.
We in the blog have been following this saying without realising it. If one song post is considered one step, then we took our first step on 19 July 2008. Today (8 February 2024) is the 5683rd day for the blog. With this post we take our 18200th step. Or to be more precise, this post is the 18200th post for the blog. The figure of 18200 is quite a mind boggling figure, but we were able to achieve it without putting us under any pressure. We just kept covering a few songs every day, kept celebrating important milestones, kept enjoying the journey, and now, here we are.
Looking back at our journey reveals several important facts about the blog as well as ourselves which may have escaped our attention. One of the observations that we can make is that it has not been a straight line journey. We have evolved and become more enlightened with time. We began on first gear. With time we kept shifting up the gear without realising it. After going in top gear for some time, we slowed down and settled down at a slower pace.
Whatever the pace of the blog during its journey, the blog has been in motion. It does not come to a standstill. At least one song gets covered every day.
This brings us to the second observation. There are quite a few people (regulars and even not so regulars) who look up to the blog first thing in the morning to find out the post(s) of the day. It has become a part of many lives like morning newspaper or morning tea/coffee. Then there are others who looked up to the blog daily for some other purpose. Like for instance there was this lady who opened up the post Jyoti kalash chhalke(Bhaabhi ki choodiyaan) every morning and would play the song to her grandkid. One morning, she found the link dead and she urgently posted this message:-
I put on this song every day for my baby grand-daughter…and today it says the video has been removed by the user….could you reinstate it please? It’e been so lovely to hear it…along with the lyrics…I learnt the song from your blogpost!
.
Not just ordinary music lovers, even people associated with music world, such as relatives of the artists, began to post comments. Some of them have become followers of the blog.
Many contributors to the blog discovered their latent talents (of being authors, historians, researchers, interviwers, media persons etc) while contributing to the blog. Our contributors have by now published books, appeared on TV show, hosted/ presented musical programmes, interviewed people connected with HFM, met HFM related celebrities etc. We also discovered that a few of our contributors were actually related to some HFM personalities !
It is interesting to note that majority of the contributors to the blog are not associated with HFM. Most of them are music lovers by hobby who made their livelihood in other fields. A majority of people in India are so busy earning their livelihood that they have no time to pursue their hobbies. That way the contributors of this blog are special who can find quality time to pursue their hobbies.
When one looks at the articles that have appeared in the blog, we find that the articles, in addition to covering songs, have also covered lots and lots of subjects. We have had articles touching subjects like history, mythology, pets, economy, sports, happiness index, war heroes, national builders, social reformers, ordinary people doing extraordinary work, Railways, milk revolution, festivals, etc. Some of these articles were quite indepth and contain information not easily available elsewhere.
During this musical journey, we all have added considerably to our knowledge. We have learnt new facts and realised that many facts that we took as facts have turned out to be incorrect. We have realised that there were many people with same/ similar names and the credits for songs were often given to the wrong person who shared the same name. This reminds me of the joke that “Murphy’s law was not given by Murphy but by another person of the same name.” 🙂
One of the most important side effect of the blog has been that we have got acquainted with each other. Many of us have got to know each other through personal visits. In addition to one to one meetings, we often have get togethers. We have coined a word of our own to describe these meetings. We call them “Gangouts”. We have had such gangouts in various places within India viz Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Lucknow etc. Personally, I must say that this blog has helped me getting acquainted with some wonderful people. Getting to know them and interacting with them has been very enriching and fulfilling experience. The fact that sharing one particular hoppy can help open so many doors is something I never imagined possible when this blog had made its humble beginning in 2008.
These days, the blog is living upto its name “song a day”. Even with this slow pace, we are clocking centuries every alternate month which is quite a decent pace. We reach a century milestone, and then think that the next century is quite a way off. But soon enough the next century arrives and then I begin to wonder what song to cover as the century song.
I have selected a song from “Zingaaro”(1963) as the century song.
“Zingaaro”(1963) was directed by Chandakant for Jay Films, Bombay. This costume drama movie had Jairaj, Jabeen, Tiwari, Bela Bose, Laxmi Chhaaaya, Aruna Irani, Maruti, Mridula, Babu Raje, Poonam Kapoor, Baburao Pahalwan,Radheshyam, Moolchand, Ghani, Julien etc in it.
The blog has covered four songs out of six from the movie and then we stopped covering other songs because they were not available.
In addition to being available, even the details of the remaining two songs were not fully known.
HFGK doesnot mention the name of singers of this song and even gets the mukhda slightly wrong. Record number is not mentioned either. That is how rare this song was till recently.
Here is this rare song from “Zingaaro”(1963). This song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhonsle. So we can fill in the blanks in HFGK.
Prem Dhawan is the lyricist. Music is composed by S N Tripathi.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
This song is a nice “chhaayaageet” category of song that is ideal to listen to late at night when most people are asleep. Nowadays people keep awake till late at night, so the song may not have the same effect today, but listening to this song in 1960s at 10 PM must have been a magical experience. It is a forgotten gem of a song.
I take this opportunity to thanks one and all for their continuous support in various form which keeps fueling tis musical bandwagon which as a result is chugging on and on without stopping even for a day. Here is hoping that we keep moving on and on and we keep passing one milestone after another during this journey.

‘Dev Kanya’ (1963) was a directed by SN Tripathi for Sur Sagar Chitra, Bombay. This movie had Mahipal, Anita Guha, BM Vyas, Krishna Kumari, Babu Raje, Mukri etc in it.
The film had seven songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the past. Interestingly, Asha Bhonsle was the only female playback singer in the movie but there were as many as three male playback singers in the movie. Each of them had sung one duet each with Asha Bhonsle. The duets of Mukesh and Rafi with Asha Bhonsle have been covered in the past.
Here is the third (and final) duet from the movie. It is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhonsle.
BD Mishra is the lyricist. Music is composed by SN Tripathi. This rare song is quite a catchy song and it appears like a dance song.
Only audio of the song is available. It would be interesting to know why three duets in the voices of three male singers were recorded with Asha Bhonsle being the common female voice. It could well be that the lead actress playing Dev Kanya sings there three duets with three different suitors. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 29
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
This post may likely be the most peculiar one of this series. Here we see a song, or more accurately a song snippet, reused in a most peculiar manner.
The film is ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ from 1963. Recently, I chanced upon this song snippet, which is part of a song from another film. I have seen this film maybe once or twice earlier, but did not register or remember this song snippet being present in the film. A friend recently brought this to my attention, and I thought of writing this post.
The full song is from the film ‘Cha Cha Cha’. And a very well known and well heard duet it is. The singers in the complete song are Rafi Sb and Lata Mangeshkar. The original verses are penned by the famous Urdu litterateur Makhdoom Mohiuddin. The music of the film ‘Cha Cha Cha’ is from the mind of Iqbal Qureshi. The film includes such all time favorite hits like “Subah Na Aayi, Shaam Na Aayi” and “Wo Hum Na The Wo Tum Na The” (both written by Neeraj). This iconic song has long been a favorite of mine. The song is a description of the emotions of love, longing and intimacy between a man and a woman.
‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ is the story of the dacoit Thakur Jarnail Singh (role played by Sunil Dutt) who falls in love with Chameli (role played by Waheeda Rehman), a dancing girl. The story is about the dilemma that enters their lives when Chameli gives birth to a child. Bringing up a child in an environment of a dacoit gang – that is the dilemma which makes up the theme of this film. And there is a very famous Lata song that beautifully expresses this dilemma – “Tere Bachpan Ko Jawaani Ki Dua Deti Hoon”.
A brief about Makhdoom Mohiuddin, whose poetry also appears in films like ‘Gaman’ (1978) – “Aap Ki Yaad Aati Rahi Raat Bhar”, and “Bazaar” (1982) – “Phir Chhidi Raat Baat Phoolon Ki”. He was born at Andol in district Medak in Hyderabad on 4th Feb, 1908. He belonged to a religious family of teachers and preachers but Makhdoom was more interested in poetry and politics than in religion. He was the leading light of the progressive writers’ movement and as a mark of respect the communist party of India has raised a building called “Makhdoom Bhawan” in Hyderabad. Though Makhdoom is primarily a poet of the nazm, he has also proved his ability as a ghazal writer. In addition, he has displayed his worth in the field of prose as well. His poetical works include ‘Surkh Saveraa’, ‘Gul-e-tar’, ‘Basaat-e-raqs’ (complete works). He passed away in Delhi on August 25, 1969.
Now coming to the interesting twist to the reuse of this song snippet. The film ‘Cha Cha Cha’, which contains the complete song, was released in 1964. And this reuse (?) occurs in a film ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ which is released in 1963. The release chronology raises the question about which is the original creation. Were these lines composed by Jaidev Sb initially (music director for ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’), and then later developed into a full song by Iqbal Qureshi for ‘Cha Cha Cha’ ? Or that the song is created by Iqbal Sb and the song snippet borrowed by Jaidev Sb for his film ?
Curious thing is chronology. One possibility is that both the films were in production concurrently during maybe 1963, and that the release of ‘Cha Cha Cha’ was delayed whereas ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ got released timely, and much before ‘Cha Cha Cha’. It is difficult now to get answers to these questions. But surely, an interesting scenario is created – the apparent reuse of the song snippet is appearing in a film that came before the film which contains the full song.
On screen, the lines play in the background in the voice of Lata ji. On screen, we see Chameli waiting for the Thakur in a scene that appear to be their tryst for the first night together. Tahkur enters the scene, sits besides her and touches her face. The voice of Lata ji starts to play in the background as the lovers fall into an embrace. A very delicately picturized scene – conveys all without saying much. Lata ji’s voice says it all.
[Editor’s Note: Additional inputs by Arun ji Deshmukh on the poet Makhdoom Mohiuddin.]
This song has made my memories greener.The writer of this song MAKHDOOM MOHIUDDIN was our family friend in the 50s and 60s till he died in 1969.
Our Hyderabad house was very big and my father had a beautiful garden where there was a big Chameli Mandav on which the Chameli vine was flowering in the seasons. There also was a big Zopala (a well spread jhoola with cushions to seat 3 to 4 people). Whenever Makhdoom Sb used to come, he preferred sitting under the Chameli Mandav on an easy chair. Actor, director and producer Chandrashekhar, who hailed from Hyderabad and knew Makhdoom Sb well, requested for a song for his film and Makhdoom Sb wrote the above song for him. But it came in the movie after a lapse of time only.
Makhdoom was a Poet, Dramatist, Teacher and in the last phase of his life, a Political Leader with left inclinations. He was also an MLA.
His 3 more songs feature in films- 1) “Jaanewale Sipahi Se Poocho” – ‘Usne Kaha Tha’ (1960) 2) “Aapki Yaad Aati Rahi” – ‘Gaman’ (1979), and “Phir Chhidi Raat” – ‘Bazaar’ (1982).

Song – Ek Chameli Ke Mandwe Taley (Mujhe Jeene Do) (1963) Singer – Lata Mangeshkar, Lyrics – Makhdoom Mohiuddin, MD – Iqbal Qureshi
Lyrics
. . .
mandiron ke kiwaadon ne dekha inhen
masjidon ke meenaaron ne dekha inhen
do badan pyaar ki aag mein jal gaye
ek chameli ke mandwe taley
ek chameli ke mandwe taley
. . .
मंदिरों के किवाड़ों ने देखा इन्हें
मस्जिदों के मीनारों ने देखा इन्हें
दो बदन प्यार की आग में जल गए
एक चमेली के मंडवे तले
एक चमेली के मंडवे तले

“Zarak Khan”(1963) was directed by Harbans for Shanti Niketan Films, Bombay. The movie had Jairaj, Chitra, Sheila, Harman, Baby Fareeda, Tiwari, Kumud Tripathi, Naazi, Wazir Muhammad Khan, Ravi Khanna, Ravikant, Shivji, Rafia, Madhumati, Sujata etc in it.
“Zarak Khan”(1963) had six songs in it. Five songs were written by Anand Bakshi and one was penned by Saba Rampuri.
Four songs from “Zarak Khan”(1963) have been covered in the past. The fourth song was posted on 13 june 2015. After that, there has been a long gap of eight years when no song from this movie was covered.
There is good reason from that. The remaining songs are rare songs that were not available.
When I checked now, I found that another song from the movie had become available. Here is this song.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle with some gibberish words uttered by a couple of male voices. Anand Bakshi is the lyricist. Music is composed by S Mohinder.
Only audio of the song is available. The song sounds like a Raj darbaar dance song. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Song-Ho nakkaaraa bola ye dil ka shola bhadka mubaarak ho(Zarak Khan)(1963) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Anand Bakshi, MD-S Mohinder

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.123
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years ago (24 May 2013),seven songs from seven digfferent movies was covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Post No | Song Title | Name of the movie | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8120 | Ajeeb hai zindagi ki manzil | Aakaash(1953) | 6 songs covered out of 7 by now |
| 8121 | Beemaar e muhabbat ka itna sa fasaana hai | Teesri Gali (1958) | 4 songs covered out of 6 by now |
| 8122 | Sainyya haay haay haay tere gaaon mein | Opera House (1961) | 6 songs covered out of 7 by now |
| 8123 | Chale aana sanam uthhaaye kadam | Dekha Pyaar Tumhaara(1963) | 2 songs covered out of 6 by now |
| 8124 | Umr to pyaar karne ki aayi | Zindagi(1976) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
| 8125 | Chhodo ye nigaahon ka ishaara | Inkaar(1977) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
| 8126 | Kaanton se chhedte hain mere jigar ke chhaale | Qeemat(1946) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
We observe that three movies (out of seven) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 24 May 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with four unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (24 May 2023). Out of these four unYIPPEED movies, two movies have only one song left to be covered but that last song could not be located, so these two movies cannot be taken up under BTYC. That leaves us with juste eligible for BTYC and whose remaining songs are available.
“Dekha Pyaar Tumhaara”(1963) was produced by Tahirbhai Akbarali Khety and directed by K Parvez for Mamta movies, Bombay. The movie had Naaz, Subi Raj, Achla(Sachdev), Helen, Madan Puri, Sadhna Chowdhry, Sham Kumar, Lotan, Baby Ismat, Bhagwan etc.
“Dekha Pyaar Tumhaara”(1963) had six songs in it. Two songs have been covered so far.
Here is the third song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur. Majrooh sultanpuri is the lyricist. Raj Ratan Raj (actual name Abdul Majeed Sheikh) is the music director.
Only audio of the song is vailable. It is the title song of the song. So it may have been lip synced by the leading lady of the movie, who appears to be Naaz. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Lyrics
roop ka rang to pad jaaye pheeka
pyaar ka rang kabhi na chhoote

roop jawaani aani-jaani
iske bharose kya kehna
mann se mann ka mel miley to
is naate ka kya kehna aa aa
is naate ka kya kehna
zor laga le laakh zamaaana
zor laga le laakh zamaaana
pyaar ki khaaki dor na toote
roop ka rang to pad jaaye pheeka
sab koi dekhe chaand gagan ko
koi kaali raat na dekhe
jiske bina wo khil na sake re
aisee anokhi baat na dekhe
aisee anokhi baat na dekhe
mann ka bandhan saancha bandhan
mann ka bandhan saancha bandhan
tan ke saare bandhan jhoothhe
roop ka rang to pad jaaye pheeka
pyaar ka rang kabhi na chhoote
Janam janam ka saath hamaara

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
On our blog we have over five thousand four hundred songs from the decade of 1950s viz from the years of 1951-1960.
In comparison to that the decade of the 1960s or the years 1961-1970 have over four thousand songs. No doubt the golden years of Hindi cinema of the ‘fifties’ had produced many melodious and immortal songs. For me the years of 1961-1970 as well were the years of the glorious music period of the Hindi Film Industry. The great composers from the industry carried forward the legacy from the earlier years and continued to produce melodious music even in the subsequent years.
Today we will be listening to one such melodious song from the year ‘1963’. This composition will remind readers of another song from the same composer but with a different lyrics writer.
Today’s song is from the movie ‘Been Ka Jaadoo-1963’.
This movie was introduced on the blog on 18.07.2016 when its song ‘mere paanv ki paayaliya kaahe ko jhanke’ was presented by our respected Shri Sudhir ji.
“Been Ka Jaadoo-1963” was directed by N. Rajesh for ‘S.A. Films, Bombay’ and it was a ‘costume drama’ movie.
Very less information is available about this movie in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970).
The cast of this movie mentioned in HFGK included Mahipal, Helen, Kammo, Tiwari, Mohan Choti and Ulhas.
“Been Ka Jaadoo-1963” has six songs which were all written by B.D. Mishra. Music for this movie was composed by S.N. Tripathi.
The voices that were used for playback singing are of Suman Kalyanpur and Mahendra Kapoor only. Out of the six songs three songs are solo songs sung by Suman Kalyanpur, two are duets of Suman Kalyanpur and Mahendra Kapoor and one song has chorus with Suman Kalyanpur.
Today we present the second song from this movie on the blog. This song is a duet song sung by Mahendra Kapoor and Suman Kalyanpur. Only audio of this song is available.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and on the picturisation of its songs.
Let us now listen to this duet song .

Lyrics
janam janam ka saath hamaaraa

hamse jo kismat roothhe naa
janam janam ka saath hamaaraa
saath kabhi ye chhoote naa aa
Sainyaan chhod de mera haathh

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
I do not remember to have listened to the songs from this movie ‘Dev Kanya-1963’. So, when I came across this movie on the blog, I listened to its only song available on the blog. And what a song it is. I immediately fell in love with this duet song ‘zaraa pehchaano to main kaun kahaan se aayi’.
As mentioned by Atul ji in this post this movie seems to be a forgotten movie. That could be the reason the beautiful songs from this movie may have failed to catch the attention of music lovers. I have listened to the few songs from this movie already available on the internet and all of them appear to be nice songs to me.
As per information available in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) ‘Dev Kanya-1963’ was directed by Sri Nath Tripathi (S.N. Tripathi) for ‘Sur Sagar and Amrit Films’.
It had Anita Guha, Mahipal, B.M. Vyas, Mukri, Krishna Kumari, Babu Raje, Mishrilal, Sheela Kashmiri, S.K. Shukla, Ratnamala, Radheshyam, Shri Bhagwan, Uma Khosla, Tiwari, Sudarshan Kumar, Madhumati and others.
This movie has seven songs penned by B.D. Mishra. And these were composed to music by S.N. Tripathi.
Singer’s name is not mentioned for one song and the singer’s names that we get from the other six songs are Asha Bhonsle, Mukesh, Mohd Rafi, and Mahendra Kapoor.
As mentioned above only one song from this movie has been posted on the blog earlier on 08.09.2013. That was long ago.
Today we listen to the second song from this movie. It is another nice duet song sung by Mohd Rafi and Asha Bhonsle.
Only audio of this song is available.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.
Let us enjoy this duet song from ‘Dev Kanya-1963’ now…
Song-Sainyyaan chhod de mera haathh (Dev Kanyaa)(1963) Singers-Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi , Lyrics-B D Mishra, MD-S N Tripathi
Lyrics
