Rajesh Roshan Romantic Duets

Inspired? Methinks not quite…

I remember seeing this movie on one of the movie shows on TV. It paired Amol Palekar with Tina Munim , one of Dev Anand’s protégés.

Amol Palekar, having studied Fine arts in J J School of Art,  started life in Bank of India, but was always more passionate about theatre, and from there, he was spotted by Satyadev Dubey when the latter made the Marathi film Shantata! Court Chalu aahe, the movie that started parallel cinema in Marathi. Basu Chatterjee then cast him for Rajanigandha and also in Chhoti Si Baat. He even acted and later directed many a memorable movie in Marathi, Hindi and even one in English.

Tina Munim started her film career with Des pardes. We had seen that movie with a hundred and fifty classmates who were interested in wreaking mayhem in the theater hall with a parallel set of dialogues. Baton Baton Mein was a very enjoyable movie. The score by Rajesh Roshan was good and I like this song. https://youtu.be/SlAPCfkcm3A

Filmed on Pearl Padamsee‘s son, Ranjeet Choudhary, it is a wonderful duet between Amit Kumar and Asha Bhosle. The lyrics by Yogesh Gaud have a wonderful singalong quality, too.

न बोले तुम ना मैंने
कुछ कहा कहा
मगर न जाने ऐसा क्यों लगा लगा
के धुप में खिले हैं
चाँद दिन में रात हो गयी
के प्यार की बिना कहे
सुने ही बात हो गयी
न बोले तुम ना मैंने
कुछ कहा कहा
मगर न जाने ऐसा क्यों लगा लगा
के धुप में खिले हैं
चाँद दिन में रात हो गयी
के प्यार की बिना कहे
सुने ही बात हो गयी

बदल रही हैं ज़िन्दगी
बदल रहे हैं हम
थिरक रहे है जाने
क्यों आज मेरे कदम
किसीको हो ना हो मगर
हमें तोह हैं पता
न बोले तुम ना
मैंने कुछ कहा कहा
मगर न जाने ऐसा क्यों लगा लगा
के धुप में खिले हैं
चाँद दिन में रात हो गयी
के प्यार की बिना कहे
सुने ही बात हो गयी

घुली सी आज सांसो
में किसीकी साँस है
यह कौन आज दिल के
मेरे आस पास है
यह धीरे धीरे हो रहा
हैं प्यार का नशा
न बोले तुम ना
मैंने कुछ कहा कहा
मगर न जाने ऐसा क्यों लगा लगा
के धुप में खिले हैं
चाँद दिन में रात हो गयी
के प्यार की बिना कहे
सुने ही बात हो गयी

यह लग रहा हैं साडी
उलझनें सुलझ गयी
यह धड़कनो की बात
धड़कने समझ गयी
ना बोलिये के बोलने
को कुछ नहीं रहा
न बोले तुम ना मैंने
कुछ कहा कहा
मगर न जाने
ऐसा क्यों लगा लगा
के धुप में खिले हैं
चाँद दिन में रात हो गयी
के प्यार की बिना कहे
सुने ही बात हो गयी.

When I first heard this song, I realized it was based on an American US Civil War marching song. This was later adapted by the Irish Rovers and made into a song Johnny I hardly knew ye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkpiwHo0Po0

Check it out folks. The Irish group song was sent to me yesterday by my cousin Paritosh.

Sadly the Irish Song seems to have been c/p’d to make the Hindi song.

Have a great evening ahead, folks, stay healthy and away from the viral epidemics

Liked the movie and the songs, including this one. The atmosphere was almost electric, one gets drawn to the celebration. The tune having been copied from another, to me, is part of the game. The fact, that such a nice song has been presented to us, is what counts. Amoled Palekar was very much liked by me. He was like a boy, next door.
