Today’s song is from the social film Minister-1959.

The 1950s and the early 60s was the period in which the Hindi film industry churned out films which tried to glorify the impractical approaches to real problems, under the guise of Indian traditions. This was in line with what Nehru espoused as Socialism. Unfortunately, it took the Indian public farther from reality and instead of advancing, we went back another two decades. It was only after the war with China in 1962 and demise of Nehru in 1964, the wheels turned the right way slowly after winning the war of 1965 with Pakistan, under the leadership of Shastri ji, India knew and understood what was necessary for the country to progress. After Indira Gandhi took over and implemented certain strong measures, the influence on Indian people changed for the better.

All these political events did affect the type of films made. Filmmakers stuck to entertainment, without trying to promote false narratives of developing good citizens in the Socialistic pattern. Big filmmakers following Nehruvian Socialism either died (Mehboob khan) or changed their pattern of films (Bimal Roy) made by them. The film Minister-1959 was one such film wherein the Indian Minister was shown as an idol of all that was good and women in his family took vows of Truth and good conduct. See the story of this film…..

INDIA THY JUSTICE IS IMMORTAL. Devnayaran (Sohrab Modi) was a very successful Lawyer and also he was a very good man too. Due to his good qualifications from a Lawyer he became a MINISTER. But his son Vijay ( Suresh) did not want to become a good man. He wanted to become a very big man.

One day Vijay accidently met Rekha on a Telephone. Rekha was a good and nicely cultured girl from a very good family. She had dedicated herself to the services of the nation. She with her art of dancing served and helped the poor people of her country. Rekha and Vijay fell in love with each other madly and both were finally married.

Samir and Sunderlal, the two brothers became enemies of Minister Devnarayan due to his strict policy of Justice while they were waiting for an opportunity. Finding an opportunity they got Vijay arrested on the charge of murder of Police Inspector Prabhatsingh. Rekha was an eyewitness to this murder.

Destiny handed over the responsibility on her of being the eye witness to the wife against her own husband. Vijay was put before the court for a trial in the prison-box and Rekha stood in the witness-box to give evidence against her own husband. However after her cross examination and getting some new evidence, it became clear that the real murders were some others. The dirty game of Sunderlal and Samir was exposed as they wanted to take revenge on the Minister. Finally Vijay gets a simple sentence of just one month and is absolved from murder charges.

This becomes a lesson for him. After one month, he comes out as a New Man and starts working hard. Everything is in order now. The Minister gives a long speech invoking everyone to follow the path of Truth and Hard work !

The film was produced by Mr. and Mrs. K.M. Khan. It was directed by Ramanlal Desai and the Music Director was Madan Mohan. The cast was Sohrab Modi, Roopmala, Suresh, Sulochana, Reshma, Jeevan, Bhagwan, Omprakash, Murad, Baby Naaz and many others.

Omprakash was mainly a comedian, but he had been a hero,a villain and a character artiste too. Of course the major part of his career is as a Comedian. He was one of the most respected artistes of his generation, in the industry. For some time he floated a Film production company in collaboration with his close friend C. Ramchandra. When their films flopped, he simply dissolved the company and later produced films on his own and he directed them too. When his film Jahan Ara-64 flopped miserably, giving him a heavy monetary loss, he stopped producing films.

Omprakash was a lover of life, joy, jokes, playing cards and he was the happiest, when among his friends. Not many people know that the famous producer Pachhi ( Around the world etc) was his younger brother. Omprakash’s first film was ‘Guru Ghantal’-37 where he worked uncredited. He next did a small role in Bombay Talkies film ‘Anjaan’-41, but his career started when Pancholi got him a role in film ‘Daasi’-44. He earned Rs. 80 for this film.

Omprakash worked in 293 films and directed 4 films namely, Duniya Gol hai-55, Gateway of India-57, Kanhaiya-59 and Chacha Zindabad-59, all produced by him alone. There were some films like Annadata-72, buddha mil gaya-71, Charandas-77 etc made keeping him as a central character. He sang 6 songs in 5 films- Meena Bazar-50, Ladki-53, Bindiya-60,Vardaan-74, and Ghar ki Izzat-94. HFGK mentions his name as a Lyricist for a song in film Dost-54.

OMPRAKASH BAKSHI was born on 19-12-1919 at Lahore. At the age of 12 ,he started learning classical music. In 1937,he joined A.I. Radio on a salary of Rs.25 pm.

He took the pen name of ‘FATEH DIN’. He presented entertaining programmes. He was very popular in Punjab and Lahore, during that period. In private parties he was a centre of attraction. In one such Party, where he was regaling his audience, he was noticed by Dalsukh Pancholi and he offered Omprakash a role in DAASI-1944.Then came Dhamki-45 and Aayee Bahaar-46. In Shehar se door-46, he was a co Hero with Al Nasir and later in Ghungroo-52 he was the Hero opposite Sumitra Devi.

Just when he was settling in films, partition took place and he landed in Bombay. His first film in Bombay was Lakhpati-48 and then there was no looking back. He acted as Villain in Naach, Nirdosh, Baghi Sipahi etc. He was a good actor and played a variety of roles. In many films he was shown as a Pehelwan. In Pehli Jhalak, his bout with Dara Singh became the film’s attraction. Even in Chameli ki Shaadi, he was a pehelwan.

There were many films made with him as a central character like, Annadaata, Dus lakh, Sadhu aur shaitan. Dil Duniya Daulat -72 was a remake of Pugree-48 in which he did the role which was done by comedian Ghori in Pugree.

C.Ramchandra was his best friend. They together produced Duniya gol hai, Jhanjhar and Lakeeren. The trailer of Duniya Gol hai was more interesting than the film. In this trailer, Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar and Ashok kumar come on the screen one after another and say-I have directed this film, so you must see it. Lastly Omprakash comes on screen and says,” Ye sab pagal hai. Picture to maine direct kee hai”. Anyway all the 3 films flopped despite good music. Later Omprakash alone produced films like Gateway of India, Chacha Zindabad, Sanjog and Jahan Ara. After Jahan Ara’s colossal losses he stopped producing films and converted his office into a Card Game centre for friends.

His last days-

He lived in Union Park, Chembur, a suburb of Mumbai. He died at age 78 in Mumbai, India of a heart attack. The actor who was always so full of life was still full of life till just two days before his death. He knew he was not well. He knew he was suffering from various complications but he never gave up his zest for life till his heart betrayed him. He kept calling friends to play a game of Rummy or just chat. He had an office at the Roop Tara Studios which was only used for “Rummy sessions” and “chat sessions”. Then, some years ago, he shifted his office to the suburbs to make it more convenient for his friends. He attended this office regularly till his health started failing him. He was confined to his bungalow (next to Ashok Kumar’s bungalow). He suffered his first heart attack in his own bedroom. He was rushed to the Lilavati Hospital where he suffered a second heart attack and went into a coma from which he never came out. He was declared dead at 1.30 pm on February 21, 1998. The news spread fast and the industry was shocked and stunned because he was the kind of man who could not be easily associated with something so sombre and solemn like death.

Film Duniya Gol Hai-55 had a star cast of Karan Dewan, Anita Guha, Kuldeep Kaur, Sunder, Omprakash etc. Since this was his First film as a Director, as many as 13 actors worked in the film as “Guest Artistes” ! He was so popular that he had to say No to some more actors ready and eager to work as Guest Atrtistes in this film. Till this film, it was a sort of record.

Today’s song is sung by Asha Bhosle, Mahendra Kapoor and Chorus. It is an unusually long song of more than 9 minutes. With this song, all songs of this film are covered and the film is YIPPEED !

Rafi Sahab’s Legendary Associations – 13
—————————————————–
15th August, 2023 – Independence Day

“2023 15 August

As we know, India is going to celebrate 77th Independence Day on 15th August 2023 and this day marks the memory of the end of 200 Year British Rule. On this day, all the religious leaders, political leaders, prominent personalities and Students deliver Independence Day Speech 2023 and pay tribute to freedom fighters.”

This is the result Google showed on searching 15th August, 2023. Fair enough. I thought it to be this way and the sitting diety of the World Wide Web is also correct and succinct. This diety has almost run its course and is in the final leg of its life circle “as a diety”. We have relied on it long enough and it served us best as it could.

So we commemorate India’s 77th Independence Day and pay tribute to freedom fighters, with this song from the film “Minister” (1959). As the title suggests, the movie must have been on politicians.

Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle are singing this song alongwith various choruses. It is written by Rajendra krishan and composed by Madam Mohan. These are two legendary associates of Rafi Sahab, who had a huge role is his career and successes.

Asha Bhosle and Rafi Sahab are singing this song in tandem mostly and with choruses also. This song is more than 8 minutes long, and writing down the lyrics was enjoyable, even though I was not familiar with the song. But the song did touch a core inside, with the glimpses of Mahatma Gandhi’s bhajan and the folk associated with Bhagat singh. Not to mention the ‘shair” of Bismil. It is a showcase of Rafi Sahab’s repertoire. Rafi Sahab runs away with the song, with Asha Bhosle close at his heel, struggling to catch up. And he does it without trying and without meaning to outrun Asha.

These songs of the film are already posted in the blog:

Song Date of post
Un aankhon mein neend kahaan 30 March 2010
Aji biwi ko ghar pe bithhlaa ke 28 April 2012
Hello hello hello mizaaj to huzoor ke hain achche 7 July 2012
Tere mukhde ka til kaala kaala 7 July 2022

This song talks of many things, starts with the ‘Gadar” of 1957, pays tribute to the martyr’s, to the leaders, the stalwarts of the nation building, post-independence. It ends with the final stanza, talking of poverty and eradication of it here:

iss desh mein jab tak
ke hai koyi bhi bhikaari
mit jaaye na iss dharti
se jab tak ye bekaari
samjho ke saraa-sar
hai yeh tauheen hamaari ee
samjho ke saraa-sar
hai yeh tauheen hamaari ee

This takes me to an essay I had written 2 years ago, as indicated in the title.

Independent India @ 75: Self Reliance with Integrity

The topic for today’s essay is a mouthful. The title itself needs careful dissection. As is my wont, I will start this dissection with the last word, i.e. Integrity.

The simple one-liner meanings of “Integrity” thrown up by google are:

1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles

2. the state of being united or undivided

of being united or undivided

Leaving aside the second meaning, we will concentrate on the first. Again, I am tempted to trouble the google guru to find what it says is the meaning in urdu. Hmmmm…. this is interesting. In urdu first meaning of integrity popping up is ‘saalmiyat’ and second in ‘dayaanatdari’.

‘dayaanatdaari’, honesty, strong moral principles, integration, integral, being united are all beautiful words. Do these concepts consist even a small part of modern day india’s psyche? I dont think so.

The meaning of integrity when one thinks of it, the mind draws nice pictures of a neat clean green landscape of natural beauty, with a frothing waterfall in between. This picture is fantastically beautiful.

But the reality of the picture is the opposite of it. Opposite of integrity is ‘hypocrisy”, which is all pretence, and no substance of integrity is part of the make up here. And we are all living in denial of the international democracy index and hunger index and poverty index. Even the happiness quotient of the nation is in the pits.

The people world over, have suffered the economic and psychological fall out of the pandemic and they are trying to deal with them. We in this country are in denial of the problems faced by the common person. Un-employment, poverty, inflation, denial of justice, persecution of marginalized sections, mental health issues, climate change, pollution, corruption, dehumanization of the people, division of people in them and us, polarization in society, deep gashes in the social fabric of the society, etc. you name it, and we have it. The issues, I mean.

When we salaried people go out somewhere, shopping or hotelling or whatever, and a poor person accosts us and asks for help. He is having some small item to sell, and it is night, he still must go home and feed his family, without much income by his own admission. We give him fifty rupees and silence our conscience, saying to ourselves that we have done our bit. Is this integrity? Why shall a poor person be poorer, and the rich become richer every second? Is this not happening with the active and passive connivance of the so called enlightened middle class of this country? These are some of the questions and more, we need to ask ourselves, before we talk of integrity and self- reliance also for that matter. Self- reliance of the privileged class to be celebrated by the whole country as a festival ! they include the people living below poverty line, for decades, with no hope of coming up the lower middle class levels and more and more such people are pushed below poverty line, which is the lowest in the world as it is.

(Nazm writer – Adil Tanveer Adil)

Jab ham pe zarurat aan padi
Aur khatre mein thhi jaan padi
Tab ham ne kya ye sochaa thha
Aur khud se kya yeh poochha thha
Ambulance mein le jaane waala
Doctor se milwaane waala
Oxygen dilwaane waala
Plasma chadhaane waala
Aur khaana bhijwaane waala
Laashon ko dafnanen waala
Aur laashen jalaane waala
Kitna hi zyada nek thha woh
Ham mein se koyi ek thha woh
Koyi naam hamen maaloom na thha
D’costa singh ya shaikh thha woh
Ham saare jab pareshan thhe na
Uss waqt to ham insaan thhe na

Ham saare jab pareshan thhe na
Uss waqt to ham insaan thhe na
Ek doosre ke saathh thhe ham
Ham mil kar hindustaan thhe naa
Ab netaaon ke ladwaane se
Media ke bhadkaane se
Jhooti mooti afwaahon ke
Chakkar mein aa jaane se
Ham kyun batwaara karte hain
Mera ya tumhara karte hain
Bewajah aapas mein lad kar
Galti yeh dubaara karte hain
Ham sab ab ye tthaanna hai
Ab sab ko hi apnaa manna hai
Hindu muslim eesaayi sikh
Sab ek hi hai yeh jaanna hai
Ek dusre ki jaan banen
Iss mulk ki ham sab shaan banen
Arey bahot hua hindu muslim
Sab mil kar hindustan banen

***************************************************************

Come to think of it, I wrote this 2 years ago. That is not a long time, but the matters have not changed. The issues are there, however much we try to brush them under the carpet. Climate change is not going anywhere, so is the case with other matters. Unless the collective will is there to change, to reverse the folly, to come out of the false bonhomie and see the real picture.

The world’s history is right front of us to see, as the Mayans believed. They believed the past is in front of us and we are walking backwards towards the future. Their logic was that, as the future cannot be seen so it is behind us. There is lot, that the wise can read here.

No society has ever flourished without peace. No prosperity without complete peace. And the only way to achieve “Peace” is complete justice. The cycle thus completes “A just society.”

One song is left to be covered in the blog. Here is that song.

This song is sung by Krishna Kalle and chorus. Kaifi Azmi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Madan Mohan.

Audio of the song is nearly six minutes long. Video of the song contains only a portion of the song. From the picturisation, we see that the song is picturised as a picnic song on Indrani Mukherjee and several kids. From the picturisation, it appears that Indrani Mukherjee is a school teacher and the kids are her students whom she has brought for a picnic. School children going on picnic with their teachers used to be quite a popular fashion those days, thanks to picnic songs like this. I remember going on similar school picnics in late 1960s. 🙂

Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

With this song, all the songs of “Naunihaal”(1967) get covered in the blog. The movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.

Today’s cabaret video song is from the film ‘Jailor’ (1958).

The film from the stable of Minerva Movietone was a remake of its own film ‘Jailor’ made in 1938 with Sohrab Modi, Leela Chitnis, Sadiq Ali etc. The story, dialogues and song lyrics were by 2 persons – Kamaal Amrohi and Amir Hyder. The screenplay was by JK Nanda and music by Meer Sahib. The film was about a good person turning into a cruel and bad person due to personal troubles and again turning into a philanthropic good man, due to change of heart and regrets.

The story has shades of a famous novel ‘Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde’, written by Robert L Stevenson in 1886. It was made into a silent film in 1920 and then talkie films were made in 1931, 1941 and 2006 in Hollywood. It seems the 1931 film was the inspiration  for the original film ‘Jailor’ of 1938. However, it is difficult to understand why Sohrab Modi decided to make a remake of this film in 1958.

In the interval of 1938 and 1958, Sohrab Modi’s image had been formed as an expert in historical films and for his unique style of delivering long Urdu mixed Hindi dialogues in his sonorous solid voice. Films like ‘Pukar’ (1939), ‘Sikandar’ (1941), ‘Prithvi Vallabh’ (1943), ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’ (1952), ‘Rajhath’ (1956), ‘Nausherwan e Adil’ (1957) and ‘Yahudi’ (1958) (released before ‘Jailor’ (1958)) had confirmed his image in the minds of Indian audience in this way. For them to accept Modi as an emotional pervert was simply not possible.

It was a mystery why Modi chose such a film for a remake which would be a mismatch to his current image. The audience neither accepted the film nor Modi in the role of a cruel and bad man and the film was a failure at the Box office. Modi must have remembered his early debacle film ‘Atma Tarang’ (1937) which was made without caring for what the audience wanted ! A film made to satiate self satisfaction not caring for the audience faces this result undoubtedly ! And Modi had a choice of many hit films like ‘Pukar’ (1939) or ‘Sikandar’ (1941) etc.

Making remakes of earlier Hit and successful films was a trend not only for the South made films, but even many Hindi films were remade again in Hindi. Here are a few examples….

The most famous remake is ‘Aurat’ (1940), remade as ‘Mother India’ in 1957 by Mehboob Khan. Actor Kanhaiyalal did the same role of Sukhi Lala in both films.

‘Miss Mala’ of 1941 was remade as ‘Amar’ in 1954. Naushad was the MD for both versions. Actor Jayant played the same role in both films.

Film ‘Pugree’ of 1948 was remade as ‘Dil Daulat Duniya’ in 1972. Comedian Dikshit had played the role of Ramu Chacha in ‘Pugree’ accompanied with a small dog – Chikoo. This role was played by Om Prakash in ‘Dil Daulat Duniya’ with a small dog Pickoo.

Film ‘Grihasthi’ of 1948 was remade as ‘Ghar Basake Dekho’ in 1963.

Film ‘Malkin’ of 1953 was remade as ‘Biradari’ in 1966.

Film ‘Panghat’ of 1943 was remade as ‘Chitchor’ in 1976.

These are just a few examples but there are hundreds of films remade in different languages from other languages. The most were in Hindi from Southern languages. Why are remakes done? Why are film stories copied? There are many reasons. Most importantly, for a remake, a ready-made story, screenplay, dialogues and even the songs are available. Secondly, since the original is a hit film, success of the remake is expectedly almost certain and thirdly, the shootings can be done in a short period, thereby saving money.

There is one more reason. Read the following. . .

In 2004, a book called ‘Why We Tell Stories’, written by Christopher Booker was published. It is a book having more than 700 pages-728 pages to be exact. The book says

“There are only 7 (Seven) basic plots in the whole world. They are recycled again and again in novels, movies, plays and operas. These are

  1. Overcoming the Monster
  2. Rags to riches
  3. The quest
  4. Voyage and return
  5. Rebirth
  6. Comedy,  and
  7. Tragedy “.

 

After this book was published, there was chaos and criticism started. ‘New York Times’ also jumped in. The author coolly replied to all points and stuck to his statements. If we look at Hindi films, I personally feel that what the author has said is true in our case. Only thing is that our film stories are always a clever mixture of all or some of the above points.

Now let us see the story of the film ‘Jailor’ (same in both the 1938 and 1958 film). . .

Dilip (Sohrab Modi) is a good natured kind hearted jailor. He has a good looking wife Kanwal (Kamini Kaushal) and a doting girl child – Bali (Daisy Irani). Kanwal likes to enjoy modern life , like attending clubs etc, which Dilip does not like. Kanwal does not like her husband. She contacts her ex-lover Dr. Ramesh (Abhi Bhattacharya) and they both elope. She is not worried about her child either. This shock changes the life of Dilip and he becomes cruel, hot tempered and a nasty person, as if to avenge the world for what happened to him.

Kanwal and her lover meet with an accident. Ramesh loses his sight and Kanwal’s face is badly injured. When Dilip learns about her accident, he brings a repentant Kanwal back home. However he locks her in a room and tortures her, taunts her and tries to take revenge. She is not allowed to meet her daughter, who is told that her mother has died. Once the daughter Bali falls sick, but Dilip does not allow Kanwal to tend her daughter also. Frustrated and sad Kanwal commits suicide. Due to illness the daughter also dies.

This is another shock for Dilip, but it changes him to his old good nature. He becomes more kind, loving and helpful to others. One of his ex-convicts Prem (Rajkumar Khatri) kills the village rowdy when he tries to trouble his blind sister Chhaya (Geeta Bali). In the jail, Prem requests Dilip to look after his sister. Dilip meets and helps her. He starts loving Chhaya. Unknown to him, Dr. Ramesh, now blind, comes to the same temple in which Chhaaya lives. They get to know each other and develop love.

When Dilip comes to know about their love, he spends his savings and helps both blind people to get operated upon. They regain sight. Dilip ensures that they are united.

Rajkumar Khatri who had been famous for his roles in dharmik films so far did a role of a murderer, contrary to his background. This too did not go too well with the audience.

Here is the song video. Sung by Asha Bhosle and lip synced by dancer Lilian on screen.

Song- Raggi Pappi Lalli, Ae Lalli Pappi Raggi (Jailor) (1958) Singers – Asha Bhosle, Lyricist – Rajendra Krishan, MD – Madan Mohan

Hullo Atuldom

Last year, in July, I discovered that “Ghar Ka Chiraag” as a title has been used twice in Bollywood. I have written briefly about this in this post. Then I went on to speak about the “Ghar Ka Chiraag” of the ’80s.

Today we are revisiting “Ghar Ka Chiraag” of the ’60s. Four of its songs are present on the blog.

Song Date of post Reamrks
Aao tumhen bataaoon ke maa kya hai 17 september 2012 (debut on the blog)
Aaj rota hai kyun 17 September 2012 (rare song as it is filmed on Dev Kumar who normally played a baddie.)
Ik paise ka sawaal hai mere daata 14 September 2016 (there is a comment to this post saying that all the big names in the cast had miniscule screen-time)
Jaane kaise chori chori balmaa ne dekha 22 June 2017

The last post from this movie was nearly five years back. The movie had six songs in all, let us take it a step closer to yyiippeeeehood. The songs of the movie were written by Kaifi Azmi and tuned by Madan Mohan. Only three singers were used:- Asha Bhonsle, Lata Mangeshkar and Mohd Rafi. Jagdev Bhambri was the producer- director and Hrishikesh Mukherjee was the editor. As per the comments posted (to an earlier post) Dev Kumar and Indrani Mukherjee were the lead with Dharmendra and Biswajeet making special appearances. I would like some reader who has more information about the film to enlighten us as to Waheeda Rehman, Balraj Sahni, Chand Usmani and Abhi Bhattacharya’s roles in the film.

The song from this movie, that Atulji posted, in July 2012, was a rare song as it was filmed on Dev Kumar. Dev Kumar was born Chaman Lal Kohli in 1930 who was a fan of Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand. Hope that explains why he called himself ‘Dev Kumar’ in films. (More on Dev Kumar can be found in this video of Tabassum Talkies)

Today’s song is in memory of Madan Mohan the creator of such wonders as “Dil dhoondhta phir wahi”, “koi patthar se na maare”, “meri yaad mein tum na aansoo bahana”, “tumse bichhad ke chain kahan hum payenge”, “agar mujhse mohabbat hain”, “aap ki nazron ne samjha pyar ke kaabil” and 624 other songs in 93 movies (as per the stats tab of our blog).The blog already has 560 of Madan Mohan’s compositions. Additionally. the stats tab says that three songs written by him and six sung by him are on the blog.

There are stalwarts among the blog’s followers who will tell us that Madanji’s father – Rai Bahadur Chunilal Kohli – desperately tried to keep him away from the film industry. He was schooled in Lahore, Mumbai and Dehradun. His journey in the entertainment world began with All India Radio, where he was a program assistant first at Lucknow then Delhi. He loved singing and 1947/48 saw him record a ghazal or two. He also recorded duets, with Lata Mangeshkar (who considered him to be her brother) under Ghulam Haider for the 1948 released “Shaheed”; but the songs were not used in the movie. Initially he was assistant to composers Shyam Sunder, SD Burman etc. (need confirmation on all of these from the stalwarts among the blog’s followers) He passed away on 14th July 1975 when he was only 51.
I know of at least two movies of the new millennium that paid homage to this maestro who was fond of ghazals in their own small style

(1) the Amitabh Bachchan- Akshay Kumar- Bobby Deol starrer “Ab tumhare hawale watan saathiyo” used the cross-line of one of Madanji’s popular songs from ‘Haqeeqat’ (1964)

(2) Yash Chopra’s “Veer Zaara” was a more fitting tribute to the composer (my opinion) where we can enjoy Madanji’s, hitherto, unused tunes.
I have read somewhere that he amassed an amazing record of compositions, the majority of which were either unutilized for lack of appropriate films or alternate tunes for his albums.

Our Rajaji has poured his thoughts on Madan Mohanji into this post.


Song-Ae mehlon mein rahne waalon (Ghar Ka Chiraag)(1967) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Kaifi azmi, MD-Madan Mohan

Lyrics (Provided by Prakashchandra)

Ae mehlon mein rahne waalon
Ae mehlon mein rahne waalon
mehlon se kabhi to nikalte ho
dekhe hain kabhi unke aansoo
thhukra ke jinhen tum chalte ho
Ae mehlon mein rahne waalon

kam se kam insaan samjho
in kismat ke maaron ko
aahen chhalni kar denge
sone ki deewaaron ko
patthar dil bhi badal daalo
kapde jaise badalte ho
Ae mehlon mein rahne waalon

nirdhan kaise jeete hain
ye tum kaise jaanoge
apna dil jab tootegaa
sab ka gham (?) pehchaanoge
kaanton par bhi chalo ik din
phoolon per to macahlte ho
Ae mehlon mein rahne waalon

jiske sapne chheene hain
usko meethhe sapne do
jiske armaan loote hain
usko armaan apne do
kuchh to karke dikhaao tum
baithhe ho aankhen malte ho
Ae mehlon mein rahne waalon
mehlon se kabhi to nikalte ho
dekhe hain kabhi unke aansoo
thhukra ke jinhen tum chalte ho
Ae mehlon mein rahne waalon

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 64
————————————————————————————–

This date ten years ago (viz 7 July 2012) saw six songs from six different movies getting covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
6189 Baadal dal se nikal chala Hamaari Baat(1943) Movie YIPPEED by now
6190 Taqdeer jagaa kar aayi hoon Dulaari (1949) Movie YIPPEED by now
6191 Hello hello hello mizaaj to huzoor ke hain achche Minister (1959) 3 songs covered out of 6 by now
6192 Ho gaye barbaad hum Ramman(1954) 5 songs covered out of 10 by now
6193 Haal e dil hamaara jaane na bewafaa Shrimaan Satyawaadi(1960) Movie YIPPEED by now
6194 Mere laadlon tum phoolo phalo Sant Gyaneshwar (1964) 5 songs covered out of 8 by now

We can see from the above table that three movies (out of six) whose songs were covered ten years ago have since been YIPPEED. That leaves us with three movies wjose songs are still available to be covered. So these three movies are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (7 July 2022).

“Minister”(1959) was one of the eligible movies. It was produced by K M Khan and Begum Jaan and directed by Ramanlal Desai for Jahangir Productions. The movie had Sohrab Modi, Roopmala, Suresh, Jeevan, Bhagwan, Om Prakash, Tuntun, Murad, Sulochana, Baby Naaz, Gopi Krishna, Reshma, Jagadish Kamal, Narbada Shankar, Indira Bansal etc in it.

The movie had six songs in it. Three songs have been covered so far.

Here is the fourth song from “Minister”(1959) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Rafi , Lata and chorus. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Madan Mohan.

It appears that Madan Mohan was under instructions to compose an O P Nayyar like composition. That is what his song sounds like. O P Nayyar never used the voice of Lata Mangeshkar in his compositions. This song gives us an idea how Lata Mangeshkar would have sounded like in an O P Nayyar composition.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

Lyrics of the song were set to me by Prakashchandra.
