It is an unenvious task for a music director when he is asked to create a song that should be inspired from an iconic song and at the same time it should stand out on its own. I am sure the makers of “Jab Jab Phool Khile” (1965) wanted Kalyanji Anandji to create a song similar to the iconic song Yahoo chaahe koyi mujhe junglee kahe(Junglee). It is not at all an enviable job by any stretch of the imagination.

The film Luteraa (1965) has seven wonderful songs, five of which are already discussed on this blog. This is the sixth song from this movie. This is a dance number by Helen, and the singing voice is that of Lata Mangeshkar. Luteraa is a grade B pirates adventure story, starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Dara Singh, Nishi, Helen, Hiralal, Jeevan, Maruti, Bela Bose and others. The storyline is convoluted with multiple parallel threads in progress. There are lost siblings, pirates, palace intrigues, battles at sea and what else not in the story plot.

It was pointed out to me by readers that songs of “Khandaan” (1965) were conspicuous by their absence in the blog. Not just that, I was gently given the hint to discuss the songs of this movie with the lyrics of songs to this movie being e mailed to me. I have succumbed to the persuasion 😀 and as many as two songs from this movie have been discussed in the blog so far.

It is often said that Hindi movies do not represent reality, rather they are make believe stuff. The fact is, they take stories that seem plausible enough and then add their own fancy unrealistic stuff. And since audiences tend to lap it up, they continue to churn out such movies till the taste of public changes. And this public taste does change with time.

Luteraa (1965) is a typical grade B action drama – a story of pirates and palaces and princesses. The main actors of this film are Dara Singh, Prithviraj Kapoor, Nishi, Helen, Hiralal, Jeevan, Maruti, Bela Bose and others. The storyline contains many threads, including brother separated in childhood, a scheming wazir in the palace who murders the king for the throne, the princess kidnapped, the pirates and what not. Given the star cast, this movie made a reasonably good impact on the box office in its time. But more than the star cast, it is the music of this movie that make it a memorable production. There are six remarkable songs by Lata, and a duet by Shamshad Begum and Kamal Barot. Of the six songs by Lata, four are dance numbers done extremely well, and the remaining two are romantic solos. The lyrics for this movie are written by Anand Bakshi, and the music is composed by Laxmikant Pyaarelal.
