Tum Jo Bhi Ho Dil Aaj Do – Gunmaster-G9

This was inevitable...yesterday you know I shared the story of Yogeeta, Mithun & Kishore. Anyhow, I think Mithun is quite a talented actor. In this movie, he played the role of an agent & he looked like one. I'm sorry to say but Saif Khan hasn't pulled off that thing in Agent Vinod.

This movie was released in 1979 & I think India was far ahead even at that time. Aruna Irani too was a good actor but she was only seen in item numbers & not such worthy roles. However, the two guys appear to be clowns. What kind of dance is it anyway? But I like their shoes.

And one should always remember: 'Tum jo bhi ho, dil aaj do, Kal yeh saama phir ho na ho.' :P

Mithun was singing that humein jo kehna tha humne keh diya kuch tumein hai meri jaan tum hee kaho...but what did he say? And Aruna Irani again was scared just like every woman in such songs. Poor thing also said 'Aaj koi duniya say janay wala hai' & then she herself dies.

One more thing. This film marked Bappi Lahiri's entry as a playback singer.

Husn Hazir Hai Mohabbat Ki Saaza Paane Ko – Laila Majnu

Another beautiful track! And Lata jee has done a great job.

Laila Majno was released in 1976 but I haven't seen it. But I like two songs from the movie. One is of course 'Husn hazir hai' & the other one is 'Is reshmi paazzeb ki jhankar.'

I love this stanza:
'Pattharon ko bhi wafa phool bana sakti hai
Yeh tamasha bhi sar-e-aam dikha sakti hai
Lo ab pathar uthaoo
Zamane kay khudaon
Tumhe main aazamaao
Mujhay tum aazamaao
Ab dua arsh pay
Jaati hai asar laane ko.'

Of course it may seem funny when we say things like 'koi patthar say na maare mera deewane ko' & 'main taiyar hoon mit jaane ko'but this is true love. They faced innumerable obstacles. How many people can face all that & still don't abandon the person? I've met such irritating females talking about love 24/7 but God knows whether it's love or sex or just plain lust.

And the world would remain the same when they see a victim anywhere in any situation; they remain merciless as ever:
'Kyun chalay aaye ho bebas pay sitam dhaane ko.'

But there is so much pain, depth & truth in this particular line: 'Lo ab patthar uthaao zamane kay khudaon.' They are ever ready to lynch the one who is sincere. They can't stand a person who is truly loyal to another human. They make sure that he/she gets out of the picture.

Kai Din Say Mujhay Koi Sapno mein Awaz Deta tha- Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se

Very sweet, simple, romantic song!

This movie was released in 1978 & other songs are also nice. But what's saddening is that Ranjeeta dies in the end as she had leukemia.
