Today’s song is from the film Chhupa Rustom-1973.
This was a Dev Anand film. Once upon a time, when I was very very young, I was very fond of his every film. He looked so cute, handsome and a real film Hero ! As the years rolled by, I saw less and less films. The last film that I enjoyed in which Dev was a hero was, perhaps, Guide -1965. Thereafter Dev Anand’s cute looks started fading, age was showing on his face and probably on his brain too, because he refused to accept that he was no more a cute looking actor. The result was saddening. Further, he was adamant in writing his own film stories, directing them and acting also as a Hero.
He no longer looked like his old self but refusal to accept it made Dev Anand get far away from his admirers. His films were failures, the audience was thin, but surprisingly he always got financiers to produce his films ! His other contemporary actor Heros like Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar had accepted the reality and adjusted to the roles in their new films, but Dev Anand was convinced that he would never look old,haggard or senior. So he continued his same old style of acting, choosing young Heroines- who would be like his daughters- whether it suited him or not.
From 1978 to 2011 he appeared in 18 films and 15 of them were directed by him. At the age of 88 years, he was the lead actor in his own film. Whatever he did in his later years gave his old admirers immense pain and sorrow but all this was pardoned for what he gave them when he was young and handsome ! His bank of popularity never became bankrupt for his old fans, because they shunned his later films but remembered Dev Anand of C.I.D., Paying Guest, Baazi, Patita, Taxi driver, Munimji, Pocket Maar, Funtoosh, Baarish, Kala Pani, Hum Dono and many more memorable films. For fans like me, he lived only in those films and after 1970, “our Dev Anand ” was not in the film line !
Dev Anand rejected many films where he did not have any songs. He never accepted sad and tragedy films. Unlike Dilip and Raj, he did not like ” Dying” at the end of a film. However, in his entire career, he ” died’ only TWICE in his films. First film was ” Zalzala”-1952 and the last was ” Guide’-1965. He was the hero in one English film “The Evil Within”-1970, made by 20th Century Fox of Hollywood. Baburao Patel of ” Film India ” magazine called him ‘ effeminate ‘. Wish Dev should have followed Shanta Apte’s example, but his temperament was different. he might not have had discretion of doing romantic roles in an unsuitable age, but surely he knew better than Ashok kumar not to work in Mythological or Historical war films and become an object of ridicule 1 (Watch Ashokmkumar in film ‘Humayun-1945’ of ‘ Uttara-Abhimanyu-1946’).
Film Chhupa Rustom was directed by Vijay Anand. Dev was paired with young and beautiful Hema Malini. Being his own company’s film, he was dominating in the film with cameras on him for a greater time, like always. The story of the film was…….
The Government of India had granted Rs.50,000/- to Prof. Harbanslal to conduct a study in the mountains bordering Tibet with India, called the Nangala Project. Harbans Lal(A.K.Hangal) is sure that within these ice-capped mountains lies an entire temple made of pure gold. When Vikram Singh (Ajit) and his son, Bahadur (Prem Chopra), find out about the Nangala Project, they abduct Harbans Lal in order to force him to reveal the exact location of this temple, in vain though and end up killing him.
Having failed in this venture, they kidnap the wife (Veena) and son of multi-millionaire Rajendra Jain(Sajjan) and demand that he get Bahadur married to his daughter, Ritu (Hema Malini). Rajendra discusses this matter with Ritu, and Ritu is ready and willing to do anything for her mother and brother. Rajendra hesitates, and soon he receives his wife’s thumb in the mail. Losing no time, Rajendra and Ritu make arrangements for the marriage and communicate accordingly with the kidnappers. Soon a wedding date is fixed, however, things do not go as planned as Ritu is abducted by a man called Natwarlal( Dev Anand) and taken to his hideout. While driving there, their car breaks down and they are forced to take a lift from Jimmy Fernandes (Vijay Anand), albeit at gunpoint. Jimmy drops them off at an isolated spot, leaving Natwarlal to work out the details of getting the ransom money from Rajendra. Before that could happen, Jimmy shows up and abducts Ritu.
With his wife and son still held captive with Vikram and his son, Rajendra is at his wits’ end as to whose life he should give priority to. Dev and his team kidnap Hema Malini, and get Ajit and his henchmen after them. The ruse is to somehow get the gangsters interested in Dev Anand, as the only person who can decipher the secret diary of Hangal, who is in Ajit’s custody. After more machinations, finally Dev Anand leads Ajit and Prem Chopra to the treasure, only to trap them in the underground vault, and extracts their confessions under the fear of death. Dev Anand reveals his identity. Ritu and Dev get United.
I always liked Vijay Anand – both as an actor and a director. Vijay Anand was a celebrated filmmaker, writer, editor, and actor in Hindi cinema. Known as “Goldie,” the younger brother of filmmaker Chetan Anand and matinée idol Dev Anand, Vijay Anand was born in Gurdaspur, Punjab, India on January 22, 1934. A very literate man, he graduated from Bombay University and while still a teenager wrote the script for his brother Dev Anand starrer “Taxi Driver” (1954), directed by his other brother Chetan Anand. The film, inspired by the crime thrillers of Hollywood, was released through their home production company Navketan, and became his first big hit.
“Nau Do Gyarah” (1957) was Vijay Anand’s directorial debut, which was based on his own script. The film starred his brother Dev Anand and Dev’s wife Kalpana Kartik. It became another hit. Goldie showed an exceptional visual style, especially when it came to picturizing song sequences. His next film was the story of a black marketer and his redemption in “Kaala Bazaar” (1960). The film starred his brother Dev again, along with Waheeda Rehman, who became a regular heroine for most Navketan films during that era. This was also the only film where all three brothers (Chetan, Dev, and Vijay Anand) acted together. “Tere Ghar ke Saamne” (1963) with Dev Anand and Nutan was a romantic comedy that became another hit. Goldie also wrote the screenplay for “Hum Dono” (1961) and supposedly ghost-directed the film as well.
His masterpiece as a filmmaker came with “Guide” (1965). Based on RK Narayan’s novel The Guide, the film is unforgettable for its bold themes about how a man (Dev Anand) and woman (Waheeda Rehman) live together outside the sanctity of a marriage. Composer S.D. Burman’s songs were given stunning visuals. The film became a huge hit and won several major awards, including two Filmfare Awards for Vijay himself for directing and for writing the dialogue for the film. With Guide, Vijay Anand became the Hindi film industry’s big star filmmaker. He was a visionary, a genius who could make intellectually stimulating films that could also generate profits and win industry awards. His next film also brought him everlasting glory. He directed and edited “Teesri Manzil” (1966) for producer and writer Nasir Husain. The film starred Shammi Kapoor and Asha Parekh and gave composer R.D. Burman (S.D. Burman’s son) his first major success. The film’s suspenseful story, combined with the stars’ romantic chemistry, and Burman’s modern songs, made it into another box office smash and a perpetual favorite among moviegoers.
Vijay Anand was at the pinnacle of his fame, when he went back to Navketan to direct the hit film “Jewel Thief” (1967). But there was a wrinkle. He found his “Jewel Thief” leading lady Vyjayantimala to be a distracted diva, especially after he enjoyed the professionalism and dedication of his previous leading ladies Waheeda Rehman and Asha Parekh. Nevertheless, Vyjayantimala gave a heartfelt and polished performance in “Jewel Thief,” and it seemed like Vijay Anand can do no wrong. But his next film proved otherwise.
After three hit films in a row (Guide, Teesri Manzil, Jewel Thief), Vijay Anand experienced his first flop. Initially, “Kahin Aur chal” (1968) had the makings of a hit, as it starred Dev Anand and Asha Parekh, who were both top box office draws in 1968, along with music composers Shanker-Jaikishen. But the film’s financier Tolaram Jalan wanted a flop film to adjust his income taxes, and so he took the film from Vijay Anand and released it in a single matinée show and then pulled it out. This experience pained the filmmaker, especially since the film never resurfaced again.
He bounced back with “Johnny Mera Naam” (1970), which grabbed the top stop at the box office in 1970. It starred Dev Anand and Hema Malini. Vijay Anand won two Filmfare Awards, one for editing and the other one for his screenplay. He then directed “Tere Mere Sapne” (1971) based on the A.J. Cronin’s novel “The Citadel.” He also played a supporting role as an alcoholic doctor. While the film became his personal favorite, it wasn’t a major success at the box office and became a turning point in his career. His subsequent films like “Blackmail” (1973), “Chhupa Rustom” (1973), “Bullet” (1976) were major disappointments. Also, at this time, Dev Anand was establishing himself as his own director.
At this time Vijay Anand was going through personal problems, as he married his much younger relative ( his sister’s daughter) and turned to a spiritual leader Godman Rajneesh. He did return to directing films with multi-starrers like Ram Balram (1980) and Rajput (1982) but the filming took a long time, because of the stars’ busy schedules and Anand felt he made too many compromises. He still made occasional films, such as Hum Rahe Na Hum (1984) and Main Tere Liye (1988) but these films lacked the famous Vijay Anand style. In all he directed 16 Hindi films.
Vijay Anand also acted in films for other directors, such as Double Cross (1973) and Ghungroo ki Awaaz (1980). Waheeda Rehman and Rakhee proclaimed him to be a genius filmmaker but also told the press that his acting skills paled in comparison to his directing skills. Generally it is believed that he made his acting debut with the film “Joru ka Bhai”-56. I always remember his small but eye-catching role of a journalist,in the initial part of the film Funtoosh-56. He acted in two major hit films, Kora Kagaz(1974) and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan ki (1978), but in both instances his acting was overshadowed by his leading ladies, Jaya Bhaduri and Nutan, who both won Filmfare Awards in the Best Actress category.
He acted in 13 films, including Funtoosh-56. In the early 1990s, he was seen in the television serial Tehqiqaat playing Sam the Detective. In 1997, his older brother Chetan Anand’s death devastated him. In 2001, he took over as the new censor board chief after Asha Parekh finished out her controversial three year term. Earlier, she hadn’t given clearance to his nephew Shekar Kapur’s film “Elizabeth” (1998) and several film industry insiders expected some tension between them, especially after Parekh admitted that she and Anand didn’t see eye-to-eye on policing adult films. But she invited him to her sixtieth birthday celebration in 2002, and they both celebrated the occasion as old friends and colleagues.
Anand was in the process of making another film with brother Dev Anand, when he died on February 23, 2004 due to a heart attack. He left behind his wife Sushma and son Vaibhav, an aspiring filmmaker. His grief-stricken older brother Dev Anand wept openly at the funeral.( Thanks to material from an article of Ramstep-IMDB, Ateet ke Sitare and my notes).
Today’s song is sung by Asha Bhosle. Written by Vijay Anand, it had music by Navketan’s favourite and regular Music director – S.D.Burman. This is the last and final song from this film. The film is YIPPEED now.

We often hear this lament from oldtimers that things were simpler in their days and they have become complicated now a days. As a fresh entrant into the club of oldtimers, I tend to agree. Things were really simple in the old days. And they were easy to remember as well if you were a student who was required to remember these facts.
Take some examples from the past(my days of 1960s) and compare them with the present situation (2023)
| Question asked | Reply in 1960s | Reply in 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Name of all Presidents of India | Dr Rajendra Prasad, S Radhakrishnan, Zakir Hussain | Too many to recall and name |
| Name of all Prime Ministers of India | Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shashtri, Indira Gandhi | Too many to recall and name |
| How many cricketers have scored over 8000 test runs | Only one, Garfield Sobers | Too many to recall and name |
| How many cricketers have taken over 300 test wickets | Only one, Freddie Trueman | Too many to recall and name |
| How many Indian cricketers have scored over 3000 test runs | Only three, Polly Umrigar, Vijay Manjrekar, Chandu Borde | Too many to recall and name |
| What are the various car models manufactured in India | Ambassador, Premier Padmini | Too many to recall and name |
| Days that are celebrated | New Year, Republic Day, Independence day, Children’s day, Labour day | Too many to recall and name |
It is the answer to the last question that has led to this writeup. This morning Avinash Scrapwala informed me that today (7 May) is Laughter day. Now what is this laughter day ? And who decides these days ? Every day now a days has some vague day or the other. There are some days that celebrate more than one topic, often vague and unheard ones. There are 365 days but there many be more number of “Day” to celebrate. It is an overload of “days” now a days. No one can remember them, and no one can “celebrate” them all.
Who decided that today is Laughter day ? Does he mean that we need not laugh on other days, or did he think that laughter has become so rare that a day needed to be dedicated for it ? I do not think that alarming situation has arrived as yet.
My own view is that all these days are meant to create business for say greeting card makers. But now a days even greeting card makers cannot keep up with these days.
We also have world music day. This one day is for others. We in this blog have our music day every day.
My take on all these days is that they are for lazy people. What is the need to have say Music day. We do not have this need. Every day is music day for us. Why should we have Women’s day. Every day should be a Women’s day and well as Men’s day. Also Children’s day.
Coming to Laughter day, I think this day too is unnecessary. At least for us music lovers. Regulars of this blog many of them also connected through whatsapp, share jokes in the group every day. So we are having our laughter day daily.
Nevertheless, someone has decided to have a world laughter day today on 7 May. By the way, is this fellow the same one who came up with the idea of Happiness Index ? Let him come up with a laughter Index as well. I can predict that European countries will top the ranking. India will be ranked behind Pakistan and Bangladesh and this ranking will be used by Western Media to pooh pooh India achievements in various sectors.
But that is in the future. So far we only have a world Laughter day today. So we have to celebrate it.
Looking at the right side of the blog, I notice that there are 88 songs under the category of “Comedy” and another 73 under “comedy songs”. Then there are 319 songs under the category of “lighthearted” songs. There may be more but they have not been categorised under these heads. So this suggests that we have about 450 songs out of 17000 plus songs as comedy song. This suggesdts that 2.5 % of the songs represented in the blog are comedy songs.
If we have world sadness day or world melancholic day, we in the blog will be right up there with the best sad and / or melancholic people there. But they someone will create a world melancholy index and prove that Indians are way down that list too. 🙂
When we think of laughter, one thinks of Kishore Kumar immediately. Quite a few of his comedy songs are already represented in the blog. To celebrate the Laughter day, here is a less known of his comedy song. This song is from “Phagun”(1973).
“Phagun”(1973) was directed by Rajinder Singh Bedi for ‘Dachi Films, Bombay’. The movie had Waheeda Rehman, Dharmendra (special appearance), Jaya Bhaduri, Vijay Arora, Om Prakash, Ravi Ghosh, Jagdev Bhambri, K.S. Kriplani, Vimal Joshi, Indu Mehta, Smita, Rajrani, Suman Sinha, Baldev Trehan, Ramlal, Pardesi, Narmada Shankar, V. Gopal, Anand (Mamaji), Beri and others in it.
“Phagun”(1973) had six songs in it. Four songs have been covered in the past. Here is this song, the fifth from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Kishore Kumar, Pankaj Mitra, Sunil Kumar and R.S. Bedi. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by S D Burman.
It appears that only audio of the song is available. The movie itself came during the days when Rajesh Khanna ruled the roost and movies with other heroes did not find much favour with the audience. This movie was one of the lesser patronised movies of its time. That explains why this song, despite having the voice of Kishore Kumar in it failed to get popular. Personally I am listening to this for the first time. The song would have become popular had the movie done better at the box office.
Song-Laali mere laal ki (Phaagun)(1973) Singers-Kishore Kumar, Pankaj Mitra, Sunil Kumar, R.S. Bedi, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-S D Burman

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Phagun-1973)
——————————————-———————
“Phaagun-1973” was directed by Rajinder Singh Bedi for ‘Dachi Films, Bombay’.
It had Waheeda Rehman, Dharmendra (special appearance), Jaya Bhaduri, Vijay Arora, Om Prakash, Ravi Ghosh, Jagdev Bhambri, K.S. Kriplani, Vimal Joshi, Indu Mehta, Smita, Rajrani, Suman Sinha, Baldev Trehan, Ramlal, Pardesi, Narmada Shankar, V. Gopal, Anand (Mamaji), Beri and others.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 08.06.1973. So, this movie is going to be fifty years old within couple of months’ time.
“Phaagun-1973” has six songs written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed to music by S.D. Burman.
I remember to have watched this movie on ‘Doordarshan’ during 1985-1988. I also remember that I had likened this movie and its storyline. Except the ‘holi’ song from this movie none of the other songs made an impact on me and over the years I forgot them. On the other hand, I remembered a few songs of ‘Phaagun-1958’ where the music was composed by O.P. Nayyar.
After becoming associated with this blog I got to listen to another song from this movie ‘Phaagun-1973’ which was in the voice of Shobha Gurtu. I had then shared this song for the blog.
While browsing through the blog recently, I noticed that as many as three songs from this movie are still remaining to be posted on the blog.
And the movie already has the same number of songs already posted on the blog. So we are exactlyat the half way mark for this movie.
Today we add the fourth song to this movie’s tally on the blog.
This song is sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle. Though it may not be a popular song it is still a nice hummable duet song to listen to and enjoy.The song is picturised on Vijay Arora and Jaya Bhaduri.
The three songs from this movie ‘Phaagun-1973’ already available on the blog are as given below;
| SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Piya sang khelo holi phaagun aayo re | Lata Mangeshkar, chorus | 11.0.2009 |
| 02 | Sandhya jo aaye | Lata Mangeshkar | 24.05.2014 |
| 03 | Morey sainyya bedardi ban gaye | Shobha Gurtu | 09.01.2015 |
None of the songs from this movie ‘Phaagun-1973’ made it to the ‘annual list of Binaca Geetmala’ of ‘1973’. One of its songs ‘sandhya jo aaye’ figured among the next lower rung of 32 songs.
Let us now listen to the fourth song from ‘Phaagun-1973’ and bring this movie closer to ‘Yippeeee’.

(A tribute to Vijay Anand – The Director)
——————————————–
Today 22nd Janunary’202 is the eighty-nineth birth anniversary of Vijay Anand. He was born on 22nd January’1934 and passed away on 23rd February’2004.
Vijay Anand was one of the greatest director and editor of Hindi Cinema. He also produced movies, acted in movies, wrote movies and even wrote lyrics.
Vijay Anand left behind his legacy of movies that are called ‘Vijay Anand movies’ that would be remembered forever and will always be a part of Hindi Cinema History. He has left behind an indelible mark of his ‘art and craftsmanship’ in the movies he has directed and /or edited or both.
I am a big fan of Vijay Anand. I had earlier presented a brief post on him on the blog.
Our seniors on the blog and especially Shri Sudhir ji have written passionate posts on Vijay Anand on the blog. I am reproducing a brief about Vijay Anand that Shri Sudhir ji had mentioned in this post.
Really very few artists and film makers in the industry have been as versatile as Vijay Anand has been. Active in the industry since the early 1950s, Vijay is the youngest of the three Anand brothers. He did have an advantage of two elder siblings, Chetan Anand and Dev Anand, having made a place for themselves in the industry, when he also decided to take the plunge. And under the umbrella of his illustrious seniors, he had the opportunity to delve and develop a multi-faceted career. In a career that spans more than five decades, Vijay Anand, or Goldie as he was known to his friends, made his mark as a screenplay and dialogue writer, as a director, as a producer, as an editor, and as an actor. His works are limited, given the span of his career, but the quality of his work speaks for itself. The films he has directed are outstanding, and he is acknowledged as the best director for picturization of songs, in the Indian film industry. In this aspect of film making, which is supremely significant given the musical nature of Indian cinema, he is without a peer.
Our Shri Sadanand ji had mentioned this while writing about Vijay Anand in this post:-.
This song is our tribute to Vijay Anand whose birth day falls on January 22nd. That he was a talented person from a very young age can be gauged by the fact that at the age of 16, he became assistant director in ‘Afsar’ (1950). Due to a sudden illness of Chetan Anand, who directed the film ‘Funtoosh’ (1954), Vijay Anand directed a song ‘hey meri topi palat ke aa’ in the film at the age of 20. At the age of 23, he scripted and directed a box office hit ‘Nau Do Gyarah’ (1957).
There is one detailed post on Vijay Anand written by Shri Sudhir ji with the song ‘andhi parja andha raja takey ser bhaaji takey ser khaaja’ presented on the blog on 22nd Jaunary’2018 as a tribute to Vijay Anand on his birth anniversary.
In this post on the birth anniversary of Vijay Anand we today pay our tributes to him and listen to a song from one of the movies. He produced, directed, wrote, edited and also wrote three out of the seven songs in this movie.
We are all aware that the movies by ‘Navketans’ always had good music and they are known for their music as well. If one browse this blog and check the list of movies which are directed by Vijay Anand one can see that almost all of them have been covered with all of their songs on the blog or as we say they have already been ‘Yippeeee’ed’ on the blog, except the surprise which is the today’s movie.
Today’s movie is ‘Chhupaa Rustom-1973’.
Here is a brief about this movie mentioned by Shri Sudhir ji in his post on the blog.
‘Chhupa Rustom’ (1973) is a crime thriller from the house of Navketan. Produced by Dev Anand, the film is directed by Vijay Anand. It is for this film that Goldie shares the credits for song writing with Neeraj. The film is loosely based on the action thriller novel ‘Fear Is The Key’ by the British author Alistair MacLean. The acting credits are impressive and include Dev Anand, Hema Malini, Vijay Anand, Bindu, Prem Chopra, Ajit, Sajjan, Veena, Premnath, AK Hangal, Rashid Khan, Shyam Kumar, Sudhir, Uma Dutt, Kaamraan, Nawab, and many more. The music composition is by SD Burman.
The storyline revolves around a treasure city of gold that is discovered under the glaciers of Himalayas by an archaeologist, played by AK Hangal. The information about the probable existence of such a treasure is also with a group of gangsters led by Ajit. Weather conditions go bad, Hangal is separated from his team and lands up at the camp of gangsters. Recognizing him, the gangsters capture him. He is tortured, but refuses to give the location information to Ajit. Meanwhile, Dev Anand, who is the son of Hangal, begins to search for his father, after losing contact with him. He is actually a police officer, and Vijay Anand is an associate. The storyline follows their efforts to track his father. The trail takes them to the wedding of Hema Malini, daughter of a rich man (Sajjan). The awkward alliance is with Prem Chopra, son of Ajit, for reasons of business coercion. Dev and his team kidnap Hema Malini, and get Ajit and his henchmen after them. The ruse is to somehow get the gangsters interested in Dev Anand, as the only person who can decipher the secret diary of Hangal, who is in the Ajit’s custody. After more machinations, finally Dev Anand leads Ajit and Prem Chopra to the treasure, only to trap them in the underground vault, and extract their confessions under the fear of death.
I vaguely remember to have watched this movie with my father when was a child. I do not remember anything about this movie except the today’s song (which is a qawwali) of which the ‘mukhda’ has always been in my memory may be it has been imbibed on my mind since years. And then the other song which I am familiar is from this movie is of course ‘dheere se jaana khatiyan mein’.
Though during all these years I do not remember to have attentively listened to any songs of this movie and that is why when I checked and found that lyrics for the remaining songs of this movie have been lying shared by Prakash ji.
And what a song this is, rather a ‘qawwali’ penned by none other than Neeraj ji, composed by S.D. Burman and sung by Manna Dey.
The thrill of listening and watching this ‘qawwali’ cannot be explained in words.
Just enjoy it!!!
Dev Anand is performing on screen and we can see Sajjan, Hema Malini, Ajit, Prem Chopra and others in the picturisation of this song.
We remember Vijay Anand and pay our tributes to the DIRECTOR in him!!!

‘Ye Gulistaan Hamaara’ (1972) was produced and directed by Atma Ram under the banner of Guru Dutt Films Combined. The star cast included Dev Anand and Sharmila Tagore in the lead roles supported by Pran, Iftikhar, Sujit Kumar, Johny Walker, Jaishree T, Lalita Pawar, Kanan Kaushal, Ramesh Deo, Raj Mehra, Keshav Rana, Janakidas etc.
The story is woven around a bridge which is being constructed over Dihing River in North-East India for a good connectivity. But the local tribals are oppose to it. They think that this is one way of imposing the slavery on the local tribes in the name of infrastructural development. This sentiment is exploited by some foreign agents who instigate the tribal chieftain to destroy the under-construction bridge. It is at this point, Dev Anand as an Intelligence Bureau Officer is sent to supervise the construction of the bridge without any hindrances.
How Dev Anand achieves the objective by overcoming the tribal opposition to construction of the bridge is the rest of the story that moves forward. If the film was to be made in English, it would have been apt to name the film as ‘The Bridge on the River Dihing’ on the lines of a well- known Hollywood film ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’.
The film’s outdoor shooting was done in Assam (near Digboi where a bridge was under construction), Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh. During the shooting of the film, the crew faced the hostile crowd led by the Naga Students Federation in Shillong. Some stone throwing incidences were also reported. The Naga students felt that it was a politically motivated film to insult the Naga tribal culture. Sharmila Tagore played the role of a Naga girl named ‘Sekrenyi’ which is the name of the holy festival of Angami Naga tribe. It is said that with the intervention of Bhupen Hazarika, the shooting of the film went on smoothly thereafter. The name of Sharmila Tagore’s character in the film was changed to ‘Soo Reni’.
In my younger days, I had read in the newspapers about the opposition of local tribals in laying the railway tracks in Meghalaya (Guwahati to Byrnihat). I understand that this line is yet to be operational. The same problem is faced for the railway track between Silchar and Imphal in Manipur. The main worry the local tribals is that good connectivity would lead to the influx of outsiders in their tribal belts threatening their own existence and culture. I feel that ‘Ye Gulistaan Hamaara’ (1972) was a ‘half-baked’ attempt to remove tribal population’s worries about the likely cultural dominance by the rest of India over the North-East’s tribal culture.
At the time of the release of the film, Naga Students Federation took out the protest march for banning the film on the ground of undermining the Naga tribal culture. They also felt that a couple of songs in the film sounded racial. In any case, they opposed the released of the film in Nagaland and Meghalaya. There were violent protests on the streets of Shillong. Finally, the film was released in 1973 after incorporating a notice in the film itself that ‘customs depicted in film, folk dances, dresses etc have no parallel with any of the tribes in Nagaland’. Some songs’ wordings were also changed to appease the protestors.
Initially, Danny Denzongpa was to perform the role of Dev Anand’s local associate in the film. S D Burman had already recorded a song in Danny voice along with Lata Mangeshkar. However, Johny Walker insisted with Atma Ram that he should also get a role in the film. Atma Ram agreed to take Johny Walker in place of Danny. However, Danny’s first song as a playback singer was retained which was picturised on Johny Walker. I personally feel that the role of a local person would have fitted well on Danny because of his facial feature. But at that time, Danny was a newcomer to protest. His consolation must have been the debut song he sang under the baton of S D Burman which was well appreciated.
‘Ye Gulistaan Hamaara’ (1972) had 7 songs of which six songs were written by Anand Bakshi. Six songs have been covered on the Blog, details of which areas under:
| Songs | Date of Posting | Singers |
|---|---|---|
| Gori gori gaaon ki gori re | 30/10/2008 | Kishore Kumar – Lata |
| Mera naam yaao mere paas aao | 17/01/2009 | Dany Denzongpa-Lata |
| Naina soyi soyi raina jaage jaage | 09/06/2013 | Lata Mangeshkar |
| Ho Tushima ri Tushima…aa gara toofaan | 31/10/2018 | Lata Mangeshkar |
| Hey suno meri baat chalo mere saath | 03/12/2020 | Kishore Kumar |
| Saare jahaan se achcha Hindostaan hamaara | 26/01/2021 | Sushma Shreshta and Kids -1, Chorus Version-2 |
I am presenting the 7th and the final song, ‘kya ye zindagi hai kaisi bebasi hai’ from the film which is rendered by Lata Mangeshkar, S D Burman and chorus. The song is written by Anand Bakshi. The song has its uniqueness in that when Lata Mengeshkar sings, the chorus voices parallelly sing some words which I am unable to decipher.
With this song, all the songs from the film ‘Ye Gulistaan Hamaara’ (1972) have been covered on the Blog.

Rafi Sahab’s legendary associations: 02
—————————————————-
Saahir Ludhianvi’s 100th birth anniversary
———————————————————————
It is Sahir Ludhianvi’s 100th birth anniversary on 08/03/2021 and I have the good fortune of writing for the last remaining song/snippet from ‘Pyasa’ 1957 to post on this occassion. There is no better showcase then the musical canvas of this classic film, I could not ask for a better opportunity. Thank you Avinash ji for giving me this gift.
It is arguably the best of Sahir, among the very best of S. D. Burman and most intense music score by him. It was Rafi sahab’s voice that becomes the poet and the poet becomes a Rafi personified because of the voice over in playback, in romance, in confusion, in jest, in irritation, in poetic narration, in bitterness, inebriation, in rebellion, and in cursing. Sahir made the so-called curse words in urdu palpable in poetry.
This is the list of all songs of “Pyaasa(1957)” already posted in the blog:
| Song | Date of posting |
|---|---|
| Jaane wo kaise log the jinke pyaar ko pyaar mila | 21 April 2009 |
| Ham aapki aankhon mein is dil ko basaa den to | 10 september 2009 |
| Aaj sajan mohe ang lagaalo janam safal ho jaaye | 25 October 2009 |
| Ye duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kyaa hai | 26 September 2009 |
| Sar jo tera chakraaye yaa dil doobaa jaaye | 27 September 2009 |
| Jinhe naaz hai Hind par wo kahaan hain | 16 October 2010 |
| Jaane kyaa toone kahi jaane kyaa maine suni | 5 October 2011 |
| Rut phire par din hamaare phire na | 13 January 2012 |
| Tang aa chuke hain kashmakashe zindagi se ham | 17 January 2012 |
| Ye hanste huye phool ye mehka hua gulshan | 8 June 2017 |
| Peechhe peechhe duniya aage aage hum | 9 July 2017 |
S. D. Burman was never averse to having both Lata and Asha Bhonsle sing for his song, but they are conspicuously absent in this music score. Geeta Dutt is singing for both Waheeda Rehman and Mala Sinha in this film.
My post on Sahir Ludhianvi’s remembrance day in 2020 is for the song where I have highlighted the effect of Iqbal on the Sahir and his poetry. This blog is one of the widely followed and read serious blogs on film music, and I thought, the aficionados of Sahir’s poetry would have some opinion to put forward, regarding my theory which I gave in that post.
I am reproducing a brief intro of Sahir from the book “Yeh un dinon ki baat hai” by Yasir Abbasi :
“Talkhi (bitterness) entered Sahir’s life early when his father chose to name him Abdul Ha’ee purely to spite a nieghbour. With a troubled childhood behind, he was still in his early 20’s when he stormed the literary arena with his first collection of poems, Talkhiyaan(1944). Films beckoned with Aazadi ke rahh par (1948), but it was with Naujawan and Baazi (both in 1951) – that he arrived with a bang. Widely regarded as the finest lyricist to grace Hindi cinema, he scaled dizzying heights with Pyaasa (1957). He was always vociferously critical of any kind of oppression, and in his indictment of social ills, he spared no one – be it the society(Aurat ne janam diya – Sadhna/1958), a bygone emperor (mere mehboob kahin aur – Ghazal/1964) or God (aasman pe hai khuda – Phir subah hogi/1958). Yet the same man could stir up romance like no one else when he wrote Abhi na jaao chhod kar (Hum dono/1961) or kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai (Kabhie kabhie/1976). Temperamental but absolutely sublime at his craft, Sahir Ludhianvi elevated the lyricist in hindi films and raised the bench mark to a level that a few could touch.”
I have no arguments with the above introduction, but to add a few more dimensions in the expressing the intricacies of human relationship and romantic entanglements, Sahir’s intro is incomplete without these songs:
1. Tum agar mujh ko na chaaho to koyi baat nahin
2. Chalo ek baar phir se ajnabi ban jaayen
3. Zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi wo barsaat ki raat
4. Jo baat tujh mein hai teri tasveer mein nahin
There are many more, but the above should give a fair idea of the term ‘absolutely sublime’ in the above intro.
One more small para in the same book, an absolute gem, is this:
Aisa mehsoos hota hai ki Sahir ne apni shakhsiyat ka saara gudaaz shai’ri mein bhar diya hai aur sha’iri ki saari jaaduiyat apne khat-o-khaal mein jazb kar li hai. Aaine se aaina-gar ka ubharna lateefa hi sahi lekin Talkhiyaan ka mutaal’aa keejiye to uss ke musannif ki rooh bolti dikhaayi degi – musannif se baatein keejiye to ma’aloom hogaa aap us ki nazmein padh rahe hain.
Here is a list compiled by Avinash ji of the songs/films of the team of SDB and Sahir.
| S.no. | Movie | Year | Songs of lyricist in the blog | Song penned by lyricist in movie as per HFGK | Song penned by lyricist in movie as per the book -The People’s Poet |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Rafi sahab’s association with both these geniuses continued independently till the end of their lives. Here is their tally in the blog:
| Name | No of songs in the blog | No of songs in the career |
|---|---|---|
| S. D. Burman | 641 | 87 movies (666) |
| Sahir Ludhianvi | 652 | 724 |
All the available songs by Rafi sahab under S. D. Burman are already posted in the blog. A few more Rafi songs written by Sahir remain to be posted.

Song-Gham is qadar badhe ke main ghabra ke pi gaya (Pyaasa)(1957) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Sahir Ludhianvi, MD-S D Burman
Lyrics (Provided by Avinash Scrapwala)
gham is qadar badhe
ke main ghabraa ke pee gayaa
is dil ki bebasi pe taras khaa ke
pee gayaa
thhukraa rahaa thhaa mujhko
badi der se jahaan
thhukraa rahaa thhaa mujhko
badi der se jahaan
main aaj sab jahaan ko
thhukraa ke pee gayaa aa …
main aaj sab jahaan ko
thhukraa ke pee gayaa aa …

ग़म इस क़दर बढे
के मैं घबरा के पी गया
इस दिल कि बेबसी पे तरस खा के
पी गया
ठुकरा रहा था मुझको
बड़ी देर से जहां
ठुकरा रहा था मुझको
बड़ी देर से जहां
मैं आज सब जहां को
ठुकरा के पी गया…
मैं आज सब जहां को
ठुकरा के पी गया…
