Jab chali thandi hawa
Posted on: November 17, 2008
“Do Badan” was a movie full of some wonderful songs written by Shakeel Badayuni and composed by Ravi. The song “jab chali thandi hawa” sung by Asha Bhonsle and picturised on Asha Parekh was a sweet and melodious song to listen to.

This song is among the many evergreen songs which listeners have listened to for the last four decades and more. I am also among those. But I had no idea which movie this song was from and how it was picturised.

Here is another superb Rafi song. This song is from a 1966 movie called “Gaban”. Though it is a very well known song, but for some reason its video is not available, and the few clips available show school / college albums with this song playing in the background. Here is this song without such irritants and with the photo of Rafi instead.

I have already posted one memorable nostalgic song from this movie sung by Mukesh and picturised on Dharmendra.
This movie was in fact full of memorable songs. Quite a few of such songs were sung by Mukesh for Dharmendra. Here is another such memorable song.

During 1960-70s, I only wanted to listen to new songs. But with Vividh Bharati, you stood no chance, and Radio Ceylon broadcasted new songs at night only on wednesday in Binaca geetmala. So most often than not, it is songs like this Lata song that I got to hear at night. These days, I would get mesmerised if I listened to this song, but those days, such songs would put me to sleep out of boredom.

Another Lata gem from 1960s. This song from Anupama (1966) was picturised on Surekha ( I thank Raja for this information). The Bollywood actresses those days tended to look like Vyjyantimala, Meena Kumari or Asha Parekh. Surekha looks so much like Asha Parekh in this song. May be that is because of similar appearance, hair style etc.

I have heard this song many a times, without knowing which movie it is from and how it was picturised. I assumed that this song was sung by a housewife whose husband was sulking.
When I finally watched the picturisation, I felt let down. It was not a housewife singing it for her husband, it was a mujra sung by a courtesan for her client. This was one standard form of item songs in those days. Other form of item song being cabaret, typically performed by Helen.

1960s, the golden era of Bollywood filmy songs saw hundreds of memorable songs. They drew from folk music, theatre etc. The lyrics were often shayari.
Here is a song where the lyrics and music was totally drawn from real down to earth life in UP/Bihar. In this song, people gather around a village gawaiyya, and the song being sung talks about what a small bird ( muniya) does to the stuffs of halvayi, bajaj, and panwaadi. The song is accompanied by fast paced music on harmonium and dholak that rises to a crescendo towards the end of the stanzas as well as towards the end of the song.

Nostalgia has always been a good topic for songs. There have been quite a few nostalgic songs in Bollywood movies that have become evergreen. Even among nostalgic songs, songs recalling one’s childhood tend to become most unforgettable of all such songs.
One of the most well known and well remembered nostalgic song about childhood is this song from “Devar” sung by Mukesh. This song is unlikely to be forgotten with time. It is simply timeless. Mukesh’s haunting voice and Anand Bakshi’s Shailendra like lyrics, not to forget Roshan’s timeless music, has seen to it.
