After a bachelor PM, its very likely that India is going to have a bachelor
President in the form Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam.

btw Nitin Sharma may be interested in knowing that, Kalam Saheb,
spent many years in the same mohalla where I grew up :)

I am not sure if there are Hindi songs celebrating bachelordom,
but there's a very popular one in Telugu. Its from a 1990's
movie "Money" and it has some Hindi & English words.

A snippet of the song can be heard at

http://gantisri.tripod.com/bachelor.mp3

Its only a 200 kb file.

bhadram be careful brotheru
bhartaga maaraku bacheloru
shaadii maaTe vaddu guru
solo bratuke so bettaru

bhadram : safe
bharta : husband
bratuku : life
maaTa : word
vaddu : no

I recall a Kishore Kumar song :

"KuNweN men Doob ke mar jaana, Yaar tum shaadi mat karna"

Don't bet your shirt on it yet. As the election nears, India having a
woman president will be increasingly likely--with enough BJP folks
seriously considering voting for a candidate fielded by the left!

Ek Shrimati Ki Kalawati Ki Sewa Kare Jo Pati Ki

While this IS a 'bachelor' song, it is definitely not one
that is "celebrating" bachelorhood (just try to imagine
Vajpayee running around in his dhoti-kurta singing this)!

What this song is, is a bride-wanted ad., the kind of song
that an unmarried young man might sing in a Hindi film.
The same man, after marriage, might be depicted as lapsing
into the following threnody:

mujhe merii biwii se bachaao, bachaao!
la.Datii hai, jhaga.Datii hai,
hameshaa mujhape biga.Datii hai

(not sure about the last line or the p-stats, which is,
perhaps, just as well).

Movie is "Aaj ki taaza khabar". It had Kiran Kumar, Asrani, IS Johar and Manju
Asrani. The heroine was someone whose name I can't recollect. Don't recollect
the MD but the HFGK should have the answer. My money is on it being K-A.

From Manpasand we have Kishore again
manamaanii se hargiz na Daro, kabhii shaadii na karo
which is an apology of a riposte to the "Hymn to Him" from My Fair Lady.

In one sense, this song too could perhaps fall in the
requisite category. The condition referred to there
being such a tall order that ultimately the singer
might end up "celebrating" and pining for his (lost)
bachelorhood. As a matter of fact, KK himself had
married four times. He should have known better !

Trust Ganti to start such a thread and rmimers to contribute
in "I wanna a piece of action" spirit, a spirit which incidentally
informs many actions of bachelors, too.

But I can imagine Abdul Kalam doing that number with panache.
Vajpayee-ji might prefer spawning a version by Padmaja
Phenani-Joglekar, followed by an avuncular peck and promotion
to Padma-bhushan from her current Padmashri.

In terms of sex appeal, though, I understand it is no contest.
Indian women prefer Atal-ji's abstract manner to Kalam's, and
find the former's fluttering eye-lids during his long pauses
irresistibly magnetic. Kalam's innings is just beginning; we shall
see whether he leaves tempting offers outside the off stump alone
or chances his arm occasionally. Ganti, what do your mohalla
elders say? Out with it, sir.

Ravindra needs to be unsure about more than just the last line:

mujhe merii biwi se bachaao, bachaao!
aka.Datii hai, biga.Datii hai
hameshaa mujhase la.Datii hai

... Kishore Kumar in AAJ KI TAZA KHABAR. Absolutely unforgettable. The
song is picturized on Kiran Kumar in the shower, lovingly soaping
himself. Off the top of my head I can't think of any other Hindi movie
in which the man, rather than the woman, is depicted as a sex object!
The plot of the movie involved a gender-switch too, with Kiran Kumar
worried that his wife will think he's having an affair when he's really
quite innocent. Usually in Hindi movies it's women who face such
problems.

I can't remember any of the other P-stats either. It's no surprise that
the heroine has faded from memory, since the whole point of the movie
seemed to be to put Kiran Kumar vividly on display.

I don't think this song celebrates bachelorhood, though. In fact, it
ends up being very specific about one thing that bachelors are
constantly on the prowl for and married men typically have ready access
to. The last line is:

mujhe merii biwii se ... milaao

with an abrupt break before the last word, which is sung very softly as
a towel-clad Kiran Kumar swings his wife on to the bed.

Golly. I wonder how the entire song got past the censors.

The only other song I can remember from the movie is the title song sung
by Asha Bhosle:

##Happy birthday to Pinky, Pinky!##
jhukii nazare.n hai.n jinakii
hai muhabbat kaa ye asar
hai aaj kii taazaa Kabar, tazaa Kabar ...

Anyhoo ... I guess I know what I'll be singing in the shower for the
next day or so 8-)

the last TWO lines should be
aka.Datii hai, biga.Datii hai, hameshaa mujh se la.Datii hai
the p-stats : Aaj ki Taaza Khabar (73), Kishore, SJ, Hasrat.

The song does revert to mujhe merii biivi se milaao in the closing lines,
presumably when the aforesaid biwi chances upon the hapless biwa singing the
song.

For a change here is one sung by a female(1970s):

mai.n tumse muhabbat kartii huu.n
par shaadii ke naam se dartii huu.n
rahuu.Ngi mai.n ku.nwaarii umr saari
#I am sorry, I am sorry#

And this one(Rafi), not quite celebrating bachelorhood, but regretting
non-bachelorhood:

mujhe dard-e\-dil kaa pataa na thaa
mujhe aap kis liye mil gaye
*mai.n akele yuu.n hii maze me.n thaa*
mujhe aap kis liye mil gaye

Vijay Kumar has already posted the P-Stats for the song. And anybody else
who care, the heroine was Radha Saluja. Producer and director Rajendra
Bhatia repeated the whole team after his previous highly successful (!) film
Jangal me mangal. Sometimes I wonder, why do I remember some of these
useless details. If my brain was a hard disk, I would have happily erased
these files from it and replaced with some other useful ones. If anybody
knows a way to get rid of some of the junk in the head, please let me know.
Also send that formula to Surajit too, so that he can forget some of the
songs he remembers.-)

Some time back I was struggling to get the words of a KA(consistently
mediocre according to Surajit) compostion, and boom came his reply
"chupke se dil de de nahii.n ko shor mach jaayegaa"...and he wrote
that he will be humming that song for the next few days :)

I think that its very hard to forget things from the growing up years.
Many songs/ movies may become obscure and fade away from the
memories of most people but not for those on whom those songs
have made a strong impression when they were young. At times ppl.
look back and think, "O god! What was so great about that song that
I used to love it so much when I was young. It seems so ordinary now".
When I was young some of my favs. were " jilele jilele aayo aayo jilele",
"chitty chitty bang bang". Our music teacher's name was Chittibabu.
During one music class one guy started beating the drums and sang
"chitty chitty bang bang". Ever since then it has been safely
stored in my cache memory.


Some ppl. also have selective amnesia :)

Surajit - boss, what a memory yaar !! I was struggling to place
this arbit song, which i was sure I had heard (and seen). Yeah, this was
one of those flicks which, for some reason, the cable-wala kept
showing. I remember this movie as the one in which Asrani comes up
with the character of "Champak Bhumiya from BeTegao.n etc. "
(which i absolutely didnt find funny). IIRC, it also has Jayshree.T. :-).
The music could be by Sapan-Jagmohan. In the 70's -
they operated in this niche too. This is a 1973(or 74) film.

This also reminds me of other movies of this genre'
(mostly *ing kiran kumar or such other second string-ers )
from the 70's with notable music like BaDa Kabootar,
Daulat Ke Dushman, Call Girl and Raakhi Aur HathkaDi.

regards
ramesh

A few more useless details about (the late) Rajendra
Bhatia, with the standard disclaimer --> IIRC !

He made "Pavitra Papi" which deserved to be at least a
moderate success. Probably, he also made "Saajan", a
Manoj Kumar, Asha Parekh starrer. Thereafter, under-
standably, he went bankrupt.

Radha Saluja made her debut in "LakhoN men Ek". I don't
quite know whether the title was meant to be applicable
to her or her leading man Mehmood. I recall seeing this
film in Jabalpur. It was a remake from a Telugu original
which starred the Telugu comedian Challam in Mehmood's
role. Incidentally, he was married to the refined
South Indian leading lady "Urvasi" Sarada. Subsequently,
they divorced and he passed away.

Radha Saluja also appeared in "Do Raha" where she sported
a swimsuit. Despite that, the film bombed. For all
practical purposes, it put an end to the film career of
Anil Dhawan as a leading man. There was one nice song
in the film, based on Bhairavi, but I can't recall the
wordings. After her short stint in films was over, Radha
Saluja got married and has been living in the U.S.

I share your wonderment as to how such "useless details"
remain in one's mind.

Going by the title I guess that wud be "mTTilo manikyam"!
maTTi = mud, soil manikyam = jewel

That movie has the song

" Rimjhim rimjhim hyderabad, rikshawaala zindabad"
with Chalam on Rickshaw. Sometime back I confused
"Lakhon me ek" with "Choti Behan" in which we have
a song picturised on mehmood, riding a Rickshaw.

Sarada won the "Urvasi" award for best actress multiple times and
since then she became "Urvasi Sarada".

Isn't "tumhii.n rahanumaa ho merii zindagii ke, bigaa.Do mujhe yaa
sa.Nvaaro mujhe" from Do Raha? Lovely song. Not in Bhairavi, do.

She was also in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's debut venture, "Sazaaye Maut", with
Nasirduddin Shah. An extremely uneven film, but interesting nonetheless.
IIRC it had no songs.

I remember seeing ads for some travel agency in the mid 90s saying "Book
your ticket to India! Famous film star Radha Saluja will do your
booking!" or some such thing....

She also sang, and cut a 33 rpm LP of geets/ghazals in the late 70's (?). I
remember buying the LP in the erly 80's, in the U.S., and on opening the
selaed package, found the LP damaged, like the 78 rpms used to break on the
sides. :-( I was able to play it, though, with manual manipulations on the
turntable. Can't remember much about her singing abilities, though. Must have
not been much, or else somehting would have stuck there.

I don't recall this song. But some words from the
other song I referred to (in Bhairavi, as far as I
can opine) are slowly filtering through the memory.
It goes something like : "Bole jhumka mera, bole
pyaara kaNgna, O~ koi aayega aaj mere aNgna"
Vintage Asha at her coquettish best.

Has anyone mentioned the "Kaagaz Ke Phool" Rafi song that goes something like:

Hum Tum Jise Kehta Hai Shaadi
"You know" Hai Poora Barbaadi
Jo Tum Lalchaaoge, Peechhe Pachhtaaoge
"Mind you" Jaayegi Azaadi

Presumably the grammatical errors are deliberate based on the character.

Wasn't there a rip-off of Sinatra's "Love and Marriage, Love and
Marriage, go together like a horse and carriage" that used the tune but
altered the purport? All I remember is that the song rhymed "pyaar aur
shaadii" with "barabaadii". Perhaps the song is on Kartik's i2fs site....

> I am not sure if there are Hindi songs celebrating bachelordom,


Wow!! There seem to be quite a big list of such songs. Thanks to
everyone for contributing to it.

Usually if I post something on RMIM, it evolves from some
song I am listening to / thinking about etc.But this thread
was unique in the sense that it originated from politics.

It may also be a very rare case, where a particluar category of songs
are being discussed for the first time.

I wish I had recorded the scores of songs which were taken from
movies and adapted for election campaigns.Some of them are
hilarious.

How about Sanjeev Kumar and kid singing "Tha.nDe Tha.nDe paani se
nahaanaa chaahiye" in the bathroom. I don't remeber either of the
songs very well, but my guess is Kiran Kumar must have looked better
than Sanjeev Kumar.. ;-)

And yes, Kiran Kumar was better looking than Sanjeev Kumar--even with

Another song where the girl says no in no unclear terms is that one
from Kal-Aaj-aur-Kal. And perhaps this is one of those rare songs,
where guy is constantly pleading his case as a worthy husband:

aap yahaa.n aaye kisaliye? ...
asha: shaadii? naa baabaa naa
kk: magar kyo.n??
asha: shaadii to barabaadii hai
kk: kyaa kahatii ho?
asha: nahii.n jaatii hai aazaadii hai
kk: nahii.n nahii.n monaa! suno to \threedots
asha: Taa Taa, baaI baaI \threedots

Regarding the people who were discussed in the original post in this
thread (Vajpayee, and Dr. Kalam): perhaps they have been in love, but
still bachelor. So on a more hopeful note, they might be singing this
other KK number ...

sajii nahii.n baaraat to kyaa
aayii naa milan kii raat to kyaa
byaah kiyaa terii yaado.n se

They probably dedicated their lifes for a cause without thinking about
Marriage.If at all
they had lovers, their ideals were more important.They may have even told
their lovers
something like this and the lovers waited and lost hope.

Mukesh:
zindagI sirf muhabbat nahI.n kuchh aur bhI hai
zulf\-o\-ruKasAr kI jannat nahI.n kuchh aur bhI hai
bhUkh aur pyAs kI mArI huI is duniyA me.n
ishq hI ek haqIkat nahI.n kuchh aur bhI hai
tum agar A.Nkh churAo to ye haq hai tumako
mai.nne tumase hI nahI.n sabase muhabbat kI hai
tum agar A.Nkh churAo to ye haq hai tumako

or maybe this...

Rafi:
par tahar vo jo vahaa.n leTe hai.n #Foot Paathon# par
laash bhii jinakii qafan tak yahaa.N ? paatii hai
aur vo jho.npa.De chat bhii naa hai sar par jinke
chaate chappar hii jahaa.N zi.ndagii so jaatii hai
pahale in sab ke liye,
pahale in sab ke liye, ek imaarat karluu.N
phir terii maa.ng,
phir terii maa.ng, sitaaro.n se bharii jaayegii


Now what do ppl. think about mapping Rafi's / Mukesh's voice onto Vajpaaye /
Kalaam ?
Which voice suits Vajpayee / Kalaam more ?

sg.

ps: I was not able to find that lyrics for "aaj kii raat" in ISB/Geetanjali
posts
but the extra stanzas(missing in the soundtrack) are FITB.

When I read the post about Vajpayee and Dr. Kalam, I thought that the follow up
to it would definitely be someone to bring in the diva in HFM, the madam Lata
Mangeshkar. (Or maybe she has been and I missed the post, in which case my
apologies in advance).


Happy listenings.
