“Raam Laxman”(1957) was produced by M Nanabhai directed by Mohan Sinha for Harihar Chitra, Bombay. This mythological movie had Sulochana, Shahu Modak, Anant Kumar, Nanda, Ramesh Sinha, Dar Kashmiri, Bhalerao, Tilak Raj, Tiwari, laita Pawar, Gope, Rajendra, Minu Mumtaz, Tum Tun, Dube etc, with guest appearances by Sulochana Chatterji, Krishna Kumari, Naina and Gopikishna in it.
This forgotten movie had eight extremely obscure songs in it.
This song is sung by Lata. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by Avinash Vyas.
There have been several songs on “Chaand” in Hindi movies, but it is a special song where “Chaand” gets treated differently by the poet. It is the moon, and not the sun that is causing the burning sensation of separation in the heart of Sitaji with his “sheetalta”. Superb poetic imagination of part of the lyricist.
The song is obviously picturised on the actress playing Sitaji in the movie, who could be Sulochana, though I cannot be sure. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
With this obscure song, “Raam Laxman”(1957) makes its debut in the blog today (5 april 2017) on the occasion of Ram Navami.
Song-O chandrma tu bada man ka kathor hai (Raam Laxman)(1957) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-Avinash Vyas
Lyrics
o chandrma
o chandrma
tu bada man ka kathor hai
paas aaye bhi nahin
aur bulaaye bhi nahin
tere man mein chhupa koi chor hai
o chandrma
tu bada man ka kathor hai
ho o o
jalta hai sooraj din bhar
magar na hamko kabhi bhi jalaata
jalta hai sooraj din bhar
magar na hamko kabhi bhi jalaata
ek chanda tu hi
jo sheetal kahaa ke
agni ke teer chalaata
tu hansaaye bhi nahin
aur rulaaye bhi nahin
bada chaliyon ka tu sirmaur hai
o chandrma
tu bada man ka kathor hai
raat adhoori
baat adhoori
chitvan bhi teri adhoori
raat adhoori
baat adhoori
chitvan bhi teri adhoori
aas adhoori dekhe baat mayuri
ab achchi nahin hai ye doori
achchi nahin hai ye doori
man chhudaaye bhi nahin
man milaaye bhi nahin
baahar kuchh
bheetar kuchh aur hai
o chandrma
tu bada man ka kathor hai
paas aaye bhi nahin
aur bulaaye bhi nahin
tere man mein chhupa koi chor hai
o chandrma
