Here is another composition
of Pancham - whacky in style & whackier in lyrics, penned by Gulzar
for the topmost grosser of 1979. Amol Palekar, the hero of the movie,
whom this performance landed his first & only Filmfare award for the
Best Actor, has aspirations to fame and talent both, and the song
reflected those. Of course his character, apart from being essentially a
middle class guy, also struck closer home - as he was shown pursuing
the professional course of CA.
Yes, this is Golmaal - that
hilarious comedy by Hrishikesh Mukherjee which also got Utpal Dutt an
award for the best comedian.
At the time when this movie was
released, there existed an actor who was not only one of the most
celebrated stuntmen of Hindi Cinema, but also quite dreaded due to his
looks, whenever he appeared on his screen. His son, then about 6 years
old, after growing up went on to make a series of comedies titled
Golmaal - of course with different kind of sensibilities yet quite
witty. This is Rohit Shetty, son of the Fight Master Shetty.
Interestingly Rohit Shetty's series of Golmaals were stories far
different from the movie made in 1979. However, finally when he made the
remake of Golmaal, it was titled Bol Bachchan - revolving around the
name & fame of Amitabh Bachchan, whom, in original Golmaal, Amol
Palekar is trying to be better than while singing this song.
The picturisation also had the Director paying homage to one of the scenes from his own Guddi, while another scene shows Rekha in her Khubsoorat avataar. In
fact, considering the attire of Rekha, and knowing that Golmaal was
quickly followed by Khubsoorat, I would not be too surprised if Rekha's
special appearance was shot on Khubsoorat's set.
The song was sung by Kishore Kumar in his zany style. However, that small refrain of yodelling at the end of first stanza is not by Kishore, but by his son Amit Kumar. Believe me, one can not make out a difference.
So here is Ik Din Sapne men Dekha Sapna:
