When I first heard this song, this song reminded me of the song “lag jaa gale ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho” from “woh kaun thi”.

As melancholic songs go, this song must be a strong title contender. “ham tum se juda hoke mar jaayenge ro ro ke” is such a well known song that it needs no introduction.

“Aadmi aur insaan” (1969) had Ravi’s music. When I looked at the list of songs that I have posted from this movie, I found that I had posted just one song, and that too a “lesser” known one. Knowing Ravi, he creates a bagful of hit songs in every movie where he is the music director, many of which have gone on to become iconic songs.

Jaag dil-e-deewanaa

This is a “new” song for me, though it is from a 1965 movie called “Oonche Log”. The lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri are heavy duty Urdu stuff, which are difficult to decipher. But knowing Majrooh Saab, it must surely mean something profound.

Here is a Mukesh song from a 1971 movie called Upaasna. This song has Mukesh singing for Feroz Khan. The situation is that Feroz Khan has nursed Mumtaz back to health but he laments the fact that Mumtaz, earlier confined to wheel chair and now back on her feet, failed to notice Feroz Khan’s true feelings for her.
How does a male express his feelings to a lady of his dreams. The modern method is just to say “I love you” and be done with it. But that was not the way in Bollywood movies those days. Well, in bollywood movies those days, beating about the bush was often the way to convey one’s feelings to the lady of one’s dreams. Directly saying “I love you” was considered too crude and unsophisticated in those days. 300 words and 4 minutes were used to say what could have been said in 3 words and 3 seconds.

Rajesh Khanna was just beginning his bull run as a superstar in late 1960s. Safar was one of the earlier movies of that time. That era coincided with an even bigger bull run begun by Kishore Kumar as a singer and R D Burman as music director. But the shape of things to come could not have been predicted from this movie. Here Mukesh sings for Feroz Khan ( yes, this Rajesh Khanna movie had Feroz Khan too ) and Kalyanji Anandji scores the music. One year later, it would all be about Rajesh Khanna, Kishore Kumar and R D Burman in a Rajesh Khanna movie.
