Manmohan Desai - the director of Aa Gale Lag Ja, was a connoisseur of
the lost-and-found formulae. Later on he went on to make superhits like
Amar Akbar Anthony, Parvarish and Suhag, amongst many others. However,
for whatever reason, Aa gale.. was his second & the last movie with
RD Burman as a composer.
Considering the fact that both the
movies where MKD worked with Pancham, the music was a major propeller
towards their success, this has remained a mystery to most of the fans of Boss.
Which was their first movie?
Well - another lost-and-found potboiler starring Randhir Kapoor &
"dusky-and-pretty-who-went-on-to-become-one-of-the-most-beautiful"
actresses Rekha with a villain who was becoming more popular than the
hero himself - Shatrughan Sinha. This was Rampur Ka Laxman, with RD
& Majrooh combining again to create some amazing numbers, the most
popular one being this duet of Kishore & Lata.
The song is
in conversational style - beginning with minor chords with a lovely
liting feel to it. While Kishore Kumar sings his part so efficiently, it
is Lata's rendition that really casts a spell making the song so
bewitchingly romantic:
Chaha hai tumane jis bavari ko
Woh bhi sajanava chahe tumhi ko
Naina uthae to pyar samajho
Palken jhuka de to iqarar samajho
Rakhati hai sab se chhupa chhupa ke, kya,
Apne hotho me piya tera naam
