Raj telling the situation of song in JDMGBH.

THE FILM(BOOT POLISH) WAS MADE IN VERY POOR CIRCUMSTANCES, AND RAJ KAPOOR himself was not sure  the film may be a big hit as if he gives his name as Director… therefore as in tension  he mentioned Prakash Mehra as Direcor of the film in film and posters….You may hv jhuggi, bastis, yes they are there. The main lead children are grown up there but begs for living.(as seen in the picture.)

film poster,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,The fim starts song Raat gai vo subah nai by Mannada……isi tarah jeevan jaat hai…..o raat gaiiii.

…………………………..2nd song …Nanhe munne bachche teri mutthi mein kya hai…..

……………………………” 3rd                  Thahar zara o jaane wale, babu mister gore kale….

………………………………4th                   Lapak jhapak tu aa re badarwa(Manna Dey and saathi)…….the song in picturized in jail with old people and pure comedy, thnks to SJ, they brought a gem in such low story film…….just watch the song with David chacha…….SIR KI KHETI SOOKH RAHI HAI, PANGHAT SE BHAR LA SAKHIRI, PANGHAT SE BHAR LA………….PANGHAT SE BHAR LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA….Lapak japak tu aa re badarwa.

……………………………..5th……………….Chali kaun se des gujaria tu saj dhaj ke—jaun piya ke desh o rasia main saj dhaj ke………….

The beauty of the song and its weightage inserts when we see  Shailendra live, lipsynchronizing.. this song with Benjo in the voice of Talat Mehmood…..Again I applaud SJ for creating this beautiful song…just listen it…and appreciate me……………singers Asha Bhonsle and Talat Mehmood.

…………………………….6th…..This song has a little controversy,actually happened. The words Shailendra wrote in beginning were ”MAIN BAZARON KI NATKHAT RANI, Sari duniya hai mujh pe divani………………..

The song was given to Lataji to rehearse.As she went through ”bazaron” ki natkhat rani, she refused to sing….the team cajoled her, taking into confidence that there is nothing ”in bazaron ki natkhat rani”. BUT LATAJI WAS ADAMENT and later under compulsion they made it ”baharon” ki natkhat rani……hahaha.

…………………………..7th The only one song on orpanage with one more from Ujala ”ab kahan jayen ham……..”thus 2 songs were created…..I do not know of other MDs….see”TUMHARE HAIN TUMSE DAYA MANGTE HAIN, TERE LADLON KI DUA MANGTE HAIN”’…….salute to SJ….So simple a tune and instruments but leaving great impact on listeners….I love tune more.

………………………… 8th Tu badhta chal…………………..ye raat gai vo subah naiiii……
