Dosto,

In my school days I used to sing "Lapak Jhapak tu aa re badarwa" a
movie song based on raga Malhar I think. Its possible I have the
first line incorrect too. But the words "Lapak and Jhapak" are
distinct in my memory. Please help with the name of the movie, the
artist and if possible the words. I would like to refresh my memory
and try to sing it again. Thanks in advance

Actually, it's neither Bahaar nor Malhaar, but something in the Kaanada
family, between Darbaari and Adaana.

A word of caution Mr. Tanhaa.


You can sing this wonderful song as many times as you like, but it
won't help you get back even a a single strand of hair. David Sahib
and his friends put up superb performance, but he still had a bald
pate in all his later films.

May be the Gods of Hair Growth like some other Raag.

Did he ever have hair? All the photos I have seen are of his baldness.

No, you can't be competing with him! He's up from where no one ever returns,
and has no competition.


Happy listenings.

In Raj Kapoor's Boot Polish (1954), Advani sings "Lapak Jhapak Tu Aa Re Badariya". The scene is referred to by author Rahaim, as an example of a "model of stillness", where the singer holds the tone with the audience watching awe-struck in frozen silence.[11] The song, composed in Raga Adhana had Manna De providing play-back for Advani.[5]

This has a referernce from wikipedia (again based on a book "A Journey Down Melody Lane" By "Raju Bharatan")
refrerence is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhudo_Advani#cite_note-Bharatan2010-5
