Chal chal re naujawaan
Posted on: March 2, 2012
When I saw the lyrics “chal chal re naujawaan” in a song from “Ek Phool Do Maali” (1969), I was surprised. People may wonder why I should be surprised if I had watched the movie. Indeed I had watched the movie, but my selective memory ensures that I only recall the details of movie watched in my younger days and details of movies that I watched much later are not retained in my memory (not enough space in the memory, perhaps 🙂 ).

Regaining the memories of a song heard long back, I tried to locate it and tried to find more about it. Thankfully, I am able to find the audio posted on the YouTube. But then all other information is new to me. This lovely sound of a melancholic melody by Talat Mehmood, is a song from a film ‘Patthar Ke Khwaab’ (1969), a name that I encountered for the first time today. Pulling together information from Geet Kosh, I find this film is produced under the banner of Nagin Productions, and directed by Pal Premi. The main list of stars includes Mahipal, Parveen Choudhary, Sapru, Madhumati, Amarnath, Mohan Choti, Jeevankala etc.

While looking for Jaidev compositions to be posted today (6th january) on his death anniversary, I came across gems after gems that I heard in my formative days without having any inkling that they were composed by Jaidev. These are songs that tempted me to hold on to them for some other special occasions. But if I hold on to all his compositions for some future occasion then I will have to stop discussing Jaidev compositions, such is the quality of all the songs that I am coming across.

If one has to name one single movie of Rajesh Khanna as a definitive Rajesh Khanna movie, then it has to be “Aradhana” (1969). The kind of popularity that this movie and its music enjoyed was unprecedented, and that may not have been surpassed since then.

Dil karne laga hai pyaar tumhe

1969 was the debut year for Bindu and Vinod Khanna was just one year into the industry (having his debut in the ‘Man Ka Meet’ (1968)). In personal life, Bindu was already a married lady by this time. As far as I can review her filmography, the film Nateeja (1969) is apparently the only film in which she has played the role of a leading lady. Having played small roles in Anpadh (1962), as the college going daughter of Mala Sinha, and a supporting role in Aurat (1967), 1969 was the year that that she arrived on the film scene with five releases to her credit, viz. Doli, Ittefaaq, Do Raaste, Aayaa Saawan Jhoom Ke and Nateeja. With a combination of both positive and negative roles, she made her mark this year, and embarked on a career that would make her famous as Mona Darling (Zanzeer, 1971). She played the oomph girl in many films (Kati Patang (1971), Hawas (1974), Imtihaan (1974) etc.), and she also did serious supporting roles in Abhimaan (1973), Chaitaali (1975), Arjun Pandit (1976) etc.
