chhed kar taaron pe dil ke
ek adhoori ragini
aur deewaane ko deewaana bana jaate ho tum

24 February 2024 marked the birth centenary of legendary singer and actor Talat Mahmood. Born on 24 Feb 1924, he passed away on 09 May 1998 at the age of 74. This write up was planned to coincide with the Birth centenary, but the article got delayed. The remembrance day today (9 May 1998) offers us another opportunity to pay our tributes to Talat Mehmood (24 Feb 1924-9 May 1998).

I have inordinately delayed paying tributes to one of my favorite singers on his birth centenary and express sincere regrets for this lapse.

I did not see much fanfare or homage on his centenary day on social media and news items in laudation of one of the most popular voices HFM has ever seen. Or maybe, I must have missed them.

His biography by his relative Sahar Zaman, was also unveiled and launched just a couple of months before his 100th birthday. One would have expected it to be released on his centenary date which was just about two months away from the launch date, but I suppose, the biographer found it more prudent to release the biography at the 16th Global Film Festival held in December 2023 at Marwah Studiosm (at Noida, close to Delhi).

His son Khalid Mahmood maintains his father’s website ‘A Golden Voice – Talat Mahmood‘. It’s a well-maintained website containing ample information and pictures on the life and career of Talat Saab. Of particular interest to self and readers would be the page on Talat Saab’s song list wherein most of the details are provided barring the names of the respective lyricists and the year of release of the films. However, the list is of immense help particularly in tracing his unheard and hitherto unavailable songs. The list also has details on songs from unreleased films. For example, a solo and a duet with Lata Mangeshkar have been listed from an unreleased film ‘Preet Na Jaane Reet’. What caught my attention was the composer’s name. Sajjad Husain. Wow. The combo will inevitably remind fans of ‘Sangdil’ (1952). I understand from our Sudhir ji that the lyrics are also mentioned in the Talat Geet Kosh. He is also on the job of tracing the audio of the songs.

Coming to his songs it is easy to sum up his career as a singer of less than 750 odd songs, about a dozen films as an actor, multiple state and club awards, pioneer of foreign concerts and a Padma Bhushan in 1992.

But then, Talat Mahmood’s career is not about numbers. In fact, it is more than mere class or quality also. His voice is about a phenomenon and the legendary cult that continues to enthrall listeners all over the world to this day.

Talat Saab has sung for himself as well as provided playback. However, hardly 450 odd songs are on record, compared to few thousands by his notable contemporaries. Of these, 400 plus songs are already showcased on the blog. That’s a good 90% coverage and I am sure it will not be long before all available HF songs of his are represented here. There are around 167 geet, ghazal, bhajans etc. according to this website. Hardly 14 of these NFSs have been represented on our blog. So, we still have a lot of ground to cover as far as his NFSs are concerned.

Of all the singers of the golden era, his was the distinct voice which has its own aura and has stood the test of time. When a Talat song comes on radio / TV programs or our own collection of songs, it’s always about the voice that the mind steps back and ponders about the rare element in his renderings. He neither has the numbers nor the range, but whatever has been exhibited continues to glow in gold.

I was under the impression that I have written only one post on Talat Saab, but then, I was pleasantly surprised to trace 3 of my posts on Talat Saab wherein I seem to have covered quite a few aspects on his songs, his voice and his special association with Mukesh. Of special mention are the two songs from ‘Yahudi’ (1958) and ‘Sujata’ (1959) associated with his good friend Mukesh. I would request readers to visit the following 3 posts for these mentions and the stories behind the two songs.

Song Post Number Song Title Movie (Year) Date of post
11658 Mitne de meri zindagi Meharbani (1950) 15 December 2015
12724 Mujhko mohabbat ho gayi hai Biwi aur makaan (1966) 22 December 2016 Sung by Mukesh, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Talat Mehmood and Joginder
14996 Aao baadal chain re royen Aawaara Ladki (1967) 19 April 2019

On reading the above posts once again, it seems I had a better flair for writing, a decade back than what I possess now. Again, on discovering the contents of the above posts, my efforts in this post have been cut to size. I have even listed 15 of his best songs (my selection) in one of the posts; something which I normally avoid because great songs of legends cannot be short-listed.

‘King of Ghazals’, ‘India’s Frank Sinatra’, ‘Velvet voiced’ and many other sobriquets have been rightly used and reused for him. So instead of writing on his voice, I will try to emphasize on a few songs, especially for the lyrics and the flawless rendition and the empathy conveyed by him.

a. abhi zinda hoon lekin sochata rehta hoon ye dil mein
ki ab tak kis tamannaa ke sahaare jee liyaa maine

These lines from the song “Muhabbat Tarq Ki Maine, Gharebaan See Liya Maine” of film ‘Doraaha’ (1952) are like a sharp knife cutting through the heart so much so that you tend to sympathize with the feelings. Each stanza in this song written by Sahir Saab and composed by Anil Da is a textbook case of composing songs of melancholy genre.

b. jab kisi ke rukh pe zulfen, aa ke lehraane lagin
hasraten uthh uthh ke, armaanon se takraane lagin

Talat Saab has his own inimitable style in rendering romance. Listen to the complete song penned by DN Madhok and tuned by Vinod, from ‘Anmol Ratan’ (1950).

c. har baat bane afsaana jahaan
har naam pe tohmat aati ho
uthte hi koi masoom nazar
bas ruswaayi ho jaati ho
ae dil aisi mehfil se to
behtar tanhaayi hai

These lines are from the song “Ye Kya Hai Dhang Zamaane Ka” Prem Dhawan in ‘Daak Babu’ (1954) came up with these beautiful verses.

d. koi jab yeh geet sunega
pyaar ka phir woh naam na lega
pyaar kiya to yoonhi jalega
tadpega aur royega

hum to hain pathhar ke insaan
hum to yeh dukh seh gaye

The song “Aise Toote Taar Ke Mere Geet Adhure Reh Gaye” by Shewan Rizvi in Ram Ganguly’s ‘Gawaiyya’ (1954)

e. aane se tere pahle aata hai ek ishaaraa
sooraj se pahle jaise ek roshni ki dhaaraa
hamne wahi ishaaraa dil mein basaa liyaa hai

Rajinder Krishan wrote these lines in the song “Tere Raaste Pe Hamne Ek Ghar Banaa Liya Hai” in the 1954 film ‘Kavi’. Fast paced romantic numbers were not exactly his forte, but Talat Saab comes up with excellent rendition in his indelible voice for this duet with Lata.

f. duniya mujhe dhoondhe,
magar mera nishaan koyi na ho

and

chalna hai sab se door-door
ab caravan koyi na ho

Majrooh Saab’s lyrics for the song “Ae Dil Mujhe Aisi Jagah Le Chal” in the film Aarzoo (1950).

I have taken just a small sample of a few lines of only five lyricists just to showcase the amazing blend of the voice and the thoughts of the poets. Such couplets and verses from various songs of Talat Mahmood are my personal favourites.

Coming to today’s song and celebrating the centenary yearr of the silken voice, I have selected this solo from the film ‘Bindiya’ (1955).

The film has ten songs in all, and two solos in the voice of Talat Saab. One solo – “Hai Dil Mein Milan Ki Aas” is already posted on the blog. The music is composed by Snehal Bhatkar, The ten songs are written by Arsh Haideri, Bharat Vyas and SH Bihari. Both solos of Talat Saab are from the pen of SH Bihari.

On our blog, 401 songs carrying the voice of Talat Sb are showcased. This song is 402th offering of his rendition in the blog.

Talat Mahmood Saab, a hundred years and a perpetual legacy of a voice that is distinctive and a class apart.

Editor’s Note: This Talat Mehmood tribute article post on his birth centenary year is the 18300th post in the blog. With this post, the blog achieves yet another century milestone. We take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continuous support and encouragement. Here is hoping that this musical bandwagon will keep rolling on and on and we will keep reaching many more milestones in the days to come.

Today’s song is from a film which is as old as 66 years – Dilli ka Thug-1958. The film was produced and directed by S.D.Narang and the music was composed by Ravi – who had become an independent composer with the film Vachan in 1955. The songs were written by S.H.Bihari, Shailendra and Majrooh Sultanpuri. The cast of the film was Kishore Kumar, Nutan, Smriti Biswas, Amar, Madan Puri, Iftekhar, Krishnakant, Protima Bedi, Mirajkar and many others.

This was one of the songs from the period which can be called “Comedian Kishore Kumar Era”. During the period 1953 to 1968, Kishore acted as a Leading man in 68 films ! This means, on an average, there was one Kishore film every 3 months during these 15 years. Quite a fast track performance !.

Film industry attracted many people from far and near. There were people from every corner of India who wanted to join the film industry. If you analyse what type of people joined films, you get roughly the following picture….

Most people who worked in the Film industry in any field- be it acting, direction, composing music, dancing, producing, in fact any department-joined the industry on their own.

However, there was also a class of artistes who were forced by the circumstances to work in the film industry- for example, the Mangeshkar sisters.

Then there were artistes who were forced by their near ones to join the film industry, like Meena Kumari, Husn Banu, Mumtaj Shanti or Madhubala,for example.

And there were artistes who came on their own to build a career in the film industry, like Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Sapru, Jeevan etc.

Few artists joined the industry because it was the family tradition, like Raj Kapoor, Shammi and Shashi Kapoor etc..

Then there were also some artistes who had never dreamt of it, but had to enter the acting field, like Ashok Kumar, Ranjan, Motilal, E.Bilimoria etc., for example.

Kishore Kumar was fond of singing from childhood. Without formal training, he had a natural gift of a good voice, sense of music and a good understanding of singing. When elder brother Ashok Kumar became an actor and sang in films, he too wanted to become a singer, but was forced to become an actor in the beginning of his film career. His brother Ashok Kumar, who was an Astrologer by hobby, had predicted that he would never become a singer !

While in school and in college in Khandwa, he would sing by charging 4 Annas for a Saigal song and 1 Anna for a Ashok Kumar song. In later days, rate for a Saigal song was raised to one rupee but Ashok Kumar rate remained at 1 Anna only ! Kishore Kumar came to Bombay to meet Saigal, but ended up doing a small role in the film Shikari-1946. His name was at No. 7 in the film credits.

Interestingly, 1946 was a year when many artistes- almost 30 odd-made their Debuts in different departments of filmmaking. Some of them are Hansraj Behl-Pujari, Snehal Bhatkar- Rukmini Swayamvar, Vinod-Paraye Bas Mein, Indivar- Double Face, Tasneem- Kuldeep, Shashi- Neera and Nanda, Baby Tabassum- Nargis, Nigar Sultana-Rangbhoomi, Cuckoo as a heroine with the name Kishori-Sona Chandi, Nirupa Roy-Amar Raj, Geeta Bali- Badnami, Geeta Roy- Bhakta Prahlad, K.A.Abbas, Ravi shankar, Balraj and Damayanti Sahni-Dharti ke Laal, Meena kapoor- Eight Days, Sudhir Phadke- Gokul, P.L.Santosi as a Director, Dev anand, Rehman, Rehana, Kamla Kotnis-Hum ek hain, Ram Ganguli-Maharana Pratap, Abhi Bhattacharya- Milan, Chetan Anand, Uma Anand, Kamini Kaushal-Neecha Nagar, Majrooh Sultanpuri – Shahjehan, and S.D. Burman-Shikari.

After Shikari, Kishore Kumar did a Police Inspector’s role in Shehnai-47. Finally, in the film Ziddi-48 he sang 2 songs-1 solo and 1 duet with Lata (later they sang 320 duets). In the film Ziddi, he was also in the cast, though uncredited. He did the role of a Gardener, who passes witty remarks-2 or 3 times. He then acted in Sati Vijay-48. Then in Rimzim-49 and Pyaar-50 he got opportunities to sing songs. In 1950, in Muqaddar he acted and also sang songs. In Khiladi-50, he sang one song.

From 1948-2 songs, in 1949-3 songs and in 1950 10 songs. Thus by 1950 he sang just 15 songs. Then from 1951 to the end of 1953 he sang 56 songs, and then onwards his tally increased. Till 1968, he restricted his singing only to mostly himself and Dev Anand. I was his great fan till he became a fast Punjab Mail after Aradhana-1969. However, sometimes his old sweetness too was found in a few songs.

The producer and director of this film, S.D.Narang was one of the highly educated artiste in the film industry. Here is a story which is stunning and unbelievable ! A young man was born on 18-6-1918,at Lyallpur,Punjab. He studied hard and got higher education.First he did B.Sc., then completed M.B.B.S. and became a Medical Doctor. Later he submitted a Thesis and got his Ph.D. All this from Lahore Medical College. He also wrote some research papers and 2 books. With this sparkling education, he could have had a luxurious living,but he chose to join the uncertain Film World. True to his habit, he succeeded here too and became a Hero,Producer,Director,Studio owner , a Lyricist and a writer.

Yes, in the early era of the late 30s,when educated people were a rarity,this highly qualified young man came into films. His name was SATYA DEV NARANG or simply, S.D.Narang.(18-6-1918 to 25-1-1986 ). Here are some highlights of his life,adapted from the site http://www.sdnarangsfan.com…With thanks.

1. During his life, from 1918 to 1986, he served the Indian Film Industry, at three Capitals of this industry, Lahore (1936 to 1946), Calcutta (l947 to 1951) and Bombay (1952 to 1980), as hero, producer, director, writer and Studio owner.

2. He had the distinction of being the highest educated man in the film industry. He was B.Sc., M.B.B.S and Ph. D from Lahore Medical College.

3. He had the credit of being the debut making leading man of ‘ Khazanchi’ which was The First Indian Film to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee.

4. He was the youngest leading man in Lahore, who played the lead in Khazanchi, Ravi Paar, Zamindar, Patwari, Gawandhi,Thekedar, Sahara,Yeh Hai Zindagi (his first venture as producer-director) and Kamini.

5. In Calcutta he produced ‘Chittagong Armoury Raid’, which was India’s ‘First Revolutionary Film’. He also produced Nai Bhabhi, Ek Raat, Aprajitha, and Chiner Putul and also played the leading roles in these films. Apart from his own movies, he played the lead in Iran Ki Ek Raat and Kajari,which were produced by outside producers.

6. After partition, he had to leave Lahore, like a Refugee, leaving all his assets and immovable property behind him. With his hard work and experience once again he was able to establish himself as the hero, producer, director, writer and Studio owner at Delhi. But the studio proved disaster in disguise for him. Being a soft hearted person, he was giving credit to the producers, who used to shoot their films in his studio. They duped him and he had to suffer heavy losses. With this bitter experience he left the city and entered the City of Dreams and the capital of Entertainment, Bombay, in 1952.

7. Being a passionate movie maker, Dr. S. D. Narang was able to get himself settled in Bombay, within a very short span of time. He had already dedicated himself to the silver screen. Once again he arose alive from his own ashes, like a Phoenix.

8. He made his presence felt in a big way in the big City of Bombay.

He produced and directed many films with big stars. In Tanhai and Darban he played the leading role himself. Some of the important films produced by him in Mumbai include, Arab Ka Saudagar, Yahudi Ki Ladki, Dilli Ka Thug, Sagai, Babul Ki Kaliyan, Do Thug, Ram Kasam, College Girl, Do Ustad, Kismatwala and Nishanebaaz. He had also produced Shehnai, which was India’s First Air-Force Film.

9. He was also the producer of Bombay Ka Chor, which was India’s First ‘Holiday-on-Ice’ movie.

10. He has also the credit of producing India’s First Under-water-movie, ‘Anmol Moti’ Jeetendra and Babita starrer.

11. The movie maker with Midas touch, Dr. S. D. Narang, had spent his 50 golden years of his cinematic profession, in the service of Silver Screen.(1936-86)

12, Before venturing into the film industry as the leading man, S. D. Narang, had an aptitude for research and while studying in Lahore Medical College, he did research on ‘Binocular Theory Of Vision’, which was published in his college Magazine. He bagged the Ph. D and became the Doctor of Philosophy, though he was already a Doctor of medicines.

13, Apart from being the author of a novel ‘Hippy Aur Yogi’ and ‘Human Psychology’, he had written a most praiseworthy book, ‘An Introduction To The Theory Of ‘Bio-Economics. It was actually a new approach to diagnosis and cure of Inflation and poverty. If applied to the present Global financial crisis, it can change the face of the fiscal fate of the World.

14. In 1960 he got married to actress of his time Smriti Biswas,with whom he had played the lead in many films. After her marriage she stopped signing new films, and decided to play the roles of faithful wife and caring mother. Still she prefers to prepare food for her beloved sons Rajiv Narang and Satyajeet Narang.

The story of the film Dilli ka Thug-1958, as I found on IMDB is this…..

“Dili Ka Thug” (Trickster of Delhi) is a movie revolving around Kishore (Kumar) who gambles and tricks people to make money. On being confronted by his mother, he decides to find a job and lands one in Mumbai, where he continues wooing Asha (Nutan). Kishore’s father and his friend were murdered by a notorious Anantram who now wears a mask to hide his true identity and continues manufacturing spurious medicines and also passes as Nutan’s uncle. The firm employing Kishore is run by Anantram and his two henchmen-Sevakram and Bihari. Anantram goes to murder Kishore in the hospital but drops his monocle which makes Iftekhar suspicious-he manages to take Anantram’s fingerprints on SohanLal’s wallet and figures out the truth. What follows is a dramatic air-borne sequence where Anantram is beaten by Kishore and shot by Nutan. Kishore manages to land the aeroplane after the pilots lose their consciousness…and as they say all’s well that ends well.

The first half of the movie is slow and would have been a drag but for the presence of the inimitable Kishore Kumar. The director makes up for the first half in the latter half of the movie as the events unfold quickly before the story reaches its climax. One also gets to listen to some very memorable songs-a water ballet “ye bahar ye sama, ye jhoomti jawaniyan” and then “hum to mohabbat karega..” followed by “CAT..” showing Kishore doing his hilarious earth-shaking moves and then the beautiful duet “ye raatein ye mausam..”

It’s like going back in time…only by 66 years and a sad realization that none of the actors who played a pivotal role in the movie are alive but their memory lingers on (other than the singer Asha Bhonsle).

Here is a song, sung by Asha Bhosle and chorus. Enjoy….


Song- Ye bahaar ye samaa ye jhoomti jawaaniyaan(Dilli Ka Thug)(1958) Singer- Asha Bhosle, Lyricist- S.H.Bihari, MD- Ravi
Chorus

Lyrics

bahak rahee hai is tarah husn ishq ki nazar
chala hai raah bhool ke jaise koi bekhabar
mastiyon mein doobti lo chali hai zindagi
kho gaya hai pyaar ke khwaab mein jahaan
ye bahaar ye samaa ye jhoomati jawaaniyaan
dekhiye kidhar kidhar jaiye kahaan kahaan

dekh aisa waqt phir miley na zindagaani mein
gori gori baahon ne laga di aag paani mein
kisne rang ghola hai
mauj ek shola hai
jal rahe hain aaj ye zameen o aasmaan
ye bahaar ye samaa
ye jhoomti jawaaniyaan
dekhiye kidhar kidhar
jaaiye kahaan kahaan
ye bahaar ye samaa

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————

For some obvious reasons, nowadays I am looking for the songs sung by Bhupinder Singh in his early career. There are many unforgettable songs sung by him in the later period which I hope would be bringing on the blog in the near future. In addition there are some lesser known songs sung by him in the early days of his career which are yet to be represented on the blog.

I am trying to bring these missing songs here.

Today I am presenting a song sung by him from the movie “Khoon Ka Khoon-1966”.

This song is sung by three singers’ viz. Usha Khanna (the composer of this song), Kamal Barot and Bhupinder Singh.

I guess that this movie might be an obscure movie of its time and hence forgotten easily.

“Khoon Ka Khoon-1966” was directed by Kamran for ‘K.F. Films, Bombay’. It had Dara Singh, Nishi, Kamran, Tiwari, Shyam Kumar, Sunder, Kamal Mehra and others.

As per HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) this movie has five songs – all written by S.H. Bihari. Music for this movie was composed by Usha Khanna.

Here is the list of songs in this movie (with their respective singer/s).

SNo Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Shamaa haseen mehfil bhi jawaan Usha Khanna
02 Ishaaron hi ishaaron mein samjho to jaanoon Lata Mangeshkar 13.01.2020
03 Abhi ban jaayegi baat ban jaayegi Lata Mangeshkar
04 Adaa ke teer laakhon hain jeegarwaale nahin miltey Usha Khanna, Kamal Barot, Bhupinder Singh
05 Le ke dil mein pyaar aaye, ho ke beqaraar aaye Asha Bhonsle, chorus

It can be seen from the above table that only one song from this movie has been posted on the blog.

Today we present the second song – a qawwali song – from this movie on the blog. As mentioned the song is sung by Usha Khanna, Kamal Barot and Bhupinder Singh.
Lyrics are b S.H. Bihari and music is composed by Usha Khanna.

Only audio of this song is available.
Let us now enjoy this song…

Editor note:-With this song, S H Bihari now has 200 songs in the blog as a lyricist.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————

‘duniyaa kehti hai mujhko paagal,
main kehtaa duniyaa ko paagal’

The above are the lines by Kishore Kumar from a famous interview given to none other than Lata Mangeshkar (probably in the end seventies or early eighties). I also remember that these lines with a picture of Kishore Kumar were a part of cover photo of the film magazine ‘Madhuri’ or ‘Filmfare’ in those years. (I am forgetting he particular year).

Well the part of this interview of Kishore Kumar by Lata Mangeshkar is already available on internet.

But, I was not aware that these famous lines were a part of a song sung by Kishore Kumar himself.

Today I present this song. The above lines are available in the audio version, but they are not included in the video version of this song.

This song is from the movie ‘Haay Mera Dil-1968’.

“Haay Mera Dil-1968” was directed by Ved & Madan for ‘Manohar Films’.

It was produced by Lalchand Thapar.

It had Kishore Kumar, Kumkum, I.S. Johar, Prem Chopra, Madan Puri, Raj Mehra, Majnu, Lakshamichhaya and others.

Story, screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Jagdish Kamal. Editing of this movie was done by Prabhakar Gokhale.

This movie has six songs. They are written by Anand Bakshi (one song), S.H. Bihari (two songs) and P.L. Santoshi (one song). Lyricists for two songs are not mentioned in Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1961-1970).

Music for ‘Haay Mera Dil-1968’ was composed by Usha Khanna.

Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi, Manna Dey, Usha Khanna, and Kishore Kumar had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

A brief about the story of this movie has been mentioned by Shri Sudhir ji in his post while presenting a song from this movie on 20.10.2011.

I am reproducing the text as given below.

The storyline is a typical kidnap-child-for-revenge-mother-searching-for-child-villians-captured-happy-ending type of a story. And to make it musical, the kidnapped child grows up to be a dancer. Kumkum plays both the roles of the mother and daughter. Kishore is a lazy unemployed young fellow, who loves this stage dancer in his dreams. IS Johar and Majnu play a team of bumbling detectives who are engaged by the mother to search for her daughter. Prem Chopra was still in the early years of his career, and not yet stereo typed as a villain. In this film he plays the role of Kishore Kumar’s elder brother, concerned about the future and well-being of his younger brother. There is a very detailed review of this film available on Memsaab’s blog at Haaye Mera Dil.

(The review itself is a delight to read. )

So far, three songs from this movie “Haay Mera Dil” have been presented on the blog.
Today I present the fourth song from this movie which is sung by Kishore Kumar. It is Kishore Kumar himself who is seen performing on this song. We can see Kishore Kumar with a photo of Kumkum in his hand and he is singing this song thinking of her.

This song is a nice song to listen to and I remember to have listened to it earlier on radio without knowing which movie it was from.

Let us enjoy the song now…

Lyrics for the today’s song are by S.H. Bihari and music is composed by Usha Khanna.

Both these movies in fact got YIPPEED on this very day ten years ago. That leaves us with four unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge.

Here is the fourth song from the movie to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Rafi. S H Bihari is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ravi.

The song is lip synced by Mehmood. The song is picturised as a drunkard song. Others seen in the picturisation are Kundan, and Meena Fernandez aka Meena Parel.

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

We observe that one movie (out of four) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 2 May 2013) has since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with three unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (2 May 2023).

“Rangeela”(1953) was produced and directed by Bhagwan for Bhagwan Art Productions, Bombay. This movie had Bhagwan, Purnima, Vivek, Badri Prasad, Baburao, Naziraa, Bimlaa Devi, Heera Sawant, Indira,Rambha, Kammo, Cuckkoo, Usha Shukla, Afghan Sandow, Inamdaar, Madhav Kale, Sukumar, Radhey Shyam, Ramlal, Deepak, BalaRam, Harish,Hanuman, Swami, Swastha, Sitaaraa, shera etc, with Maruti in guest appearance.

Here is the ninth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Rafi and Asha Bhonsle. S H Bihari is the lyricist. Music is composed by Jamal Sen.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song. My guess is that it was picturised on Bhagwan and Poornima.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

In this post we cover a song sung by Hemant Kumar from the movie ‘Kitnaa Badal Gayaa Insaan-1957’.

Two songs from this movie have been posted on the blog in the past.

As mentioned by Shri Atul ji in his post while launching this movie on the blog, the title of this movie seems to be inspired from the iconic song ‘dekh tere sansaar ki haalat’ from ‘Naastik-1954’. And the same leading pair of ‘Naastik-1954’ Nalini Jaywant and Ajit was cast in this movie ‘Kitnaa Badal Gayaa Insaan’ again. Both the movies were directed by I.S. Johar.

‘Kitnaa Badal Gayaa Insaan-1957’ was a ‘costume drama movie’ directed by I.S. Johar for ‘Modern Theatre Ltd, Madras’.

It had Nalini Jaywant, Ajit, I.S. Johar, Kamaljeet, Thakkar, Anil Dutt, Harbanslal, Khopkar, Gopal, Lakshami Narayan, Reeta, Rajamani, Saroja, P. Bala, Shanti, G. Bala, Udaylakshami and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 17.09.1957.

‘Kitnaa Badal Gayaa Insaan-1957’ has eleven songs written by S.H. Bihari and the music for this movie was composed by Hemant Kumar.

Hemant Kumar, Ghulam Mohammad, Asha Bhonsle, Lata Mangeshkar, Geeta Dutt, Mohd Rafi, Shamshad Begam, and Bande Hasan are the singers whose voices appear in the songs of this movie.

Going by the list of songs of this movie I don’t think I am familiar with any of the songs of this movie. As mentioned above two songs from this movie have been posted earlier on the blog.

Today’s song is sung by Hemant Kumar and luckily video of this song is also available where we can see Ajit racing a ‘tonga’ (not exactly a traditional tong, as the carriage is of different type like used in a ‘jugaad’). We can also see ‘boatmen’ ferrying the boat (must be in Kerala) and then suddenly we are taken back into the lakes of ‘Kashmir’ (I guess). 🙂

So, let us now enjoy this song where this guy is out to ‘sell his heart’ not for money but only to ‘someone who is ‘dilwaala’ and having a ‘flower like face’:) (translation?)

“saudaa hai kitnaa pyaaraa
samjho mera ishaara
aisi ghadi suhaani
aati nahin dobaaraa”

Song-Hai chaar din ki duniya hain chaar din ke mele (Kitna Badal Gaya Insaan)(1957) Singer-Hemant Kumar, Lyrics-S H Bihari, MD-Hemant Kumar

“Mohabbat Zindagi hai”(1966) was produced by K C Gulati and directed by Jagdish Nirula for Roop Chhaaya, Bombay. The movie had Dharmendra, Rajshree, Mehmood, Nazir Hussain, Chaand Usmani, Deven Verma, Badri Prasad, Sunder, Man Mohan, Madhavi, Supported by Kundan, Kesho(Keshav Rana), Parasram, Kirti aka Kirti Kumar,
Raj Dewan, Dinanath, Johnny Whiskey, Prabhuji, Neelam, Geetanjali, Thelma, Sujata, Neeta Sinha, Krishna Duggal, Sameena etc. The movie introduced Subhash, Kumar Anand, Mulkhi, Anita and Child Sweety Dutt as well.

“Mohabbat Zindagi hai”(1966) had eight songs in it. Six songs have been covered so far.

Here is the seventh song from the movie to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Rafi and female chorus. S H Bihari is the lyricist. Music is composed by O P Nayyar.

The song is picturised on Mehmood, Madhavi, Sujata(the dancer)and Neelam. The picturisation shows Mehmood in a river singing this song for the three ladies also there on the river. The movie was picturised at Dhanbad Jharia Coal Mines (and also in studios of Kardar,Rajkamal,Roop tara,Modern). So one guesses that the river showm in the picturisation could be Damodar River that flows in that Coalmines area, or its tributory, the river Katri. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the matter.

The song is clearly part of comic side plot of the story. The song bears unmistakable resemblence with “Ye chaand sa raushan chehra” from “Kashmir Ki Kali”(1964) which was created by the same musical team.

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

This song is the 4000th song in the blog from the decade of 1960s (1961-1970).

Today (28 January 2023) is the 16th remembrance day of O P Nayyar (16 January 1926 – 28 January 2007). He ruled the roost in HFM during 1950s and 1960s, and that too on his own terms. Imagine not using the voice of Lata Mangeshkar in his songs and still managing to create great songs. Curiously, he found his playback singer of choice in Lata Mangeshkar’s family itself, in the form of her younger sinter Asha Bhonsle. There is no doubt that it was O P Nayyar who offered Asha Bhonsle the opportunity to become a playback singer second only to her illustrious elder sister.

This association of Asha Bhonsle and O P Nayyar lasted nearly two years before they had an acrimonious break up.

We as music lovers are more interested in music and less on the personal affairs of those creating them. As far as O P Nayyar is concerned, he worked in 73 movies (give or take a few). As many as 50 of his movies, including almost all of his movies of 1950s and 1960s have already been YIPPEED in the blog. The few unYIPPEED movies of those decades are unYIPPEED because the balance songs are unavailable.

So we have to movies in the later part of O P Nayyar’s career, if we want to discuss songs composed by him.

“Aisa Bhi Hota Hai”(1971) is one of his less known movie. It was produced and directed by Kamran, a B grade movie maker (Father of Farah and Sajid Khan) for Rainbow Films, Bombay. The movie had Dev Mukherji, Nandita Bose (making debut), Jalal Agha, Rupesh Kumar, Anwar Ali, Nikita, Tiwari, Sunder, Mohan Choti, Shyam Kumar, Randhir, Anjum, Birbal, Maruti, Tuntun, Mumtaz Begum, Shefali, Raj Rani, Mehboob, Jayshree T etc in it.

The movie flopped and so the songs of this movie had no change to get popular because they were not heard by most music lovers.

“Aisa Bhi Hota Hai”(1971) had four songs in it. One song has been covered in the blog.

As a tribute of O P Nayyar, here is the second sonng from “Aisa Bhi Hota Hai”(1971) to appear in the blog.

The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. S H Bihari is the lyricist. Music is composed by O P nayyar of course.

It is a sweet song to listen to. The song sounds like the songs she sang under O P Nayyar’s baton during those years.

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

This song is the 500th song of OP Nayyar in the blog as a music director. This is the final century of O P Nayyar seeing that O P Nayyar composed around 570 songs in all. That means we are within striking distance of covering all available O P Nayyar compositions in the blog.

We take this oppotunity to play our tribute to the legendary music director O P Nayyar.


Song-Chaand raaton ko nikle na nikle (Aisa Bhi Hota Hai)(1971) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-S H Bihari, MD-O P Nayyar

Lyrics

chaand raaton ko nikle na nikle
chaand raaton ko nikle na nikle
din mein sooraj na chamke to kya hai
apne chhote se ghar mein ujaala
ab sada ke liye ho gaya hai
chaand raaton ko nikle na nikle
din mein sooraj na chamke to kya hai
lalalalla
lalalarlala
lalalalla

ek hansi iski hai saari duniya meri
ek muskaan sau saal ki zindagi
mujhko duniya mein ab aur kya chaahiye
mil gayi hai zamaane ki saari khushi
maine barson jo dekha thha sapna
aaj kismat se poora hua hai
apne chhote se ghar mein ujaala
ab sada ke liye ho gaya hai
chaand raaton ko nikle na nikle
din mein sooraj na chamke to kya hai
lalalalla
lalalarlala
lalalalla

har ghadi har samay muskuraata hua
phool sa bachpana meri baahon mein ho
laal mera bada hoke jaaye jahaan
kaamyaabi sada iski raahon mein ho
door har dum rahe gham ke saye
ye hamesha hi meri dua hai
apne chhote se ghar mein ujaala
ab sada ke liye ho gaya hai
chaand raaton ko nikle na nikle
din mein sooraj na chamke to kya hai
lalalalla
lalalarlala
lalalalla
lalalalla
lalalarlala

aataa hai jo aane do o
mehfil mein dilwaalon ki

baaghon mein kaliyaan mehkeen
kheton mein sarson phooley

aaa aaaa aaa aaa hha

hanstey gaate yoon rahiye ae ae
aaa hhaaa

hanstey gaate yoon rahiye ae

deep jaley hain manzil ke

aaj hamaari baahon mein aen aen
deep jaley hain manzil ke

aanchal ko udd jaaney do
zulfon ko khul jaaney do
phoolon jaisey gaalon ko
shabnam se dhul jaaney do

aaj hamaarey dil jawaan hain
geet khushee ke gaa lo o o
mehfil mein dilwaalon ki
aataa hai jo aane do o o
khoob mazey mein guzregi
gar mil jaayein deewaaney do o
mehfil mein dilwaalon ki
