I was aware that today is the birth anniversary of Pran, but I was not aware that today is his 100th birth anniversary !
It was on this day 100 years ago that Pran (12 February 1920 – 12 July 2013) was born.
Pran was born in Lahore and he made his debut in films in Lahore in early 1940s. There, he soon graduated to lead roles. In “Khaandaan”(1942), he had acted opposite Noorjehaan. . After partition, he came to Bombay where he was a nobody and so he had to start from scratch there.
It was in Bombay that Pran began to get the roles of a villain and it waas in these roles that he made his mark. He started his stint in Bombay with “Ziddi”(1948). He played villains but no two roles of his were same. In every movie he brought something new to his acting. And his acting was so convincing that ordinary movie goers dreaded and dipised his roles. Very few people in India named their sons as Pran. That is the kind of impression he had created in the minds of movie goers. 
In 1960s, his dark roles gradually started to become less dark, with doses of kindness and comedy in them and a time came when he became a character artist, beginning from “Upkaar”(1967). The distributors of “Upkaar”(1967) were very nervous, unsure how this new role of Pran would be received by the moviegoers who were so used to see him as a dreaded villain. Fortunately, the movie was a big hit and Praan’s role as Malang Chaacha was loved by moviegoers.
Pran had got to sing very few songs on screen as a villain, but he started to get songs as a character artist. And this process started with “Upkaar”(1967) itself. The song Kasme waade pyaar wafa turned out to be a much loved song, much to the relief of Kalkyanji Anandji, who were dreading that their composition would flop because it was to be picturised on Pran !
Subsequently, Pran has figured in quite a few songs in Hindi movies. And these songs became surprise hits. For instance, “Zanjeer”(1973) song Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi became the most popular song of the year in Binaca geetmala ! “Kasauti”(1974) song, Ham bolega to bologe ki bolta hai was my favourite song durings its time. Same was the case with the song Daru ki bottle me sahab paani bharta hai from “Majboor”(1974).
On the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of Pran, here is a song from “Zindaadil”(1975). The song is sung by Lata, Shailendra Singh and Mahendra Kapoor. Verma Malik is the lyricist. Music is composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal.
The song is picturised as a get together song. It is lip synced by Rishi Kapoor, Zaahira, Neetu singh and Pran.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Avinash Scrapwala. Incidentally, he too shares his birthday with Pran. So we take this opportunity to wish him a happy birthday and many happy returns of the day. Today also happens to be the wedding aniversary of our regular Nitin Shah. We wish him and his better half on this occasion.
Quite a lively and appropriate song for the occasion it is.

Shaam suhaani aayi
Khushiyaan ban ke pehli baar
Shaam suhaani aayi
Khushiyaan ban ke pehli baar
Aaj kayee barson mein
Paayal chhanke pehli baar
Huyee adhoori aasha poori
Tooti door ki doori
Tooti door ki doori
To lekar thumkaa naachoon
Aaj main tan ke pehli baar
Lekar thhumkaa naachoon
Aaj main tan ke pehli baar
Pehli baar
Shaam suhaani aayi
Khushiyaan ban ke pehli baar
Aaj kayee barson mein
Paayal chhanke pehli baar
Huyee adhoori aasha poori
Tooti door ki doori
Tooti door ki doori
Lekar thhumkaa naachoon
Aaj main tan ke pehli baar
Shaam suhaani aayi
Khushiyaan ban ke pehli baar
Jee chaahe main ho ke saudaayee
Lutaa doon khudaayee
Milaa hai mujhe pyaar
Milaa hai beshumaar
Jee chaahe main ho ke saudaayee
Lutaa doon khudaayee
Milaa hai mujhe pyaar
Milaa hai beshumaar
Raat aayi hai kismatwaali
Jalaao deewaali
Milaa hai qaraar
Milaa hai sansaar
Is man ki paawan dharti se
Phoot padaa hai pyaar
Phoot padaa hai pyaar
Pehli baar
Phool khile hain dekho
Mere man ke pehli baar
Phool khile hain dekho
Mere man ke pehli baar
Shaam suhaani aayi
Khushiyaan ban ke pehli baar
Khaata jaa peetaa jaa
Bhar paimaana tu
Hey hey
Khaata jaa peetaa jaa
Bhar paimaana tu
Ho ho
Apnaa rang jamaata jaa
Ho deewaana tu
Hey hey
Masti mein lehraata jaa
Ban mastaana tu
Apnaa aaj banaataa jaa
Ye zamaana tu
Mere jeewan ke gulshan mein
Aayi nayee bahaar
Aayi nayee bahaar
Pehli baar
Ek fauji kaa beta
Chalaa hai tan ke pehli baar
Ek fauji kaa beta
Chalaa hai tan ke pehli baar
Shaam suhaani aayi
Khushiyaan ban ke pehli baar
Dekho kaise khushi ke rang chhaaye
Dupatta udaa jaaye
Patang ban ke
Umang ban ke
Dekho kaise khushi ke rang chhaaye
Dupatta udaa jaaye
Patang ban ke
Umang ban ke
Main to ambar ki baahon mein jhooloon
Sitaaron ko chhoo loon
Kiran ban ke
Sapan ban ke
Aaj mere seene mein dhadkan
Meethhee kare pukaar
Meethhee kare pukaar
Pehli baar
Mere dil mein aajaa
Meraa ban ke pehli baar
Mere dil mein aajaa
Meraa ban ke pehli baar
Shaam suhaani aayi
Khushiyaan ban ke pehli baar
Aaj kayee barson mein
Paayal chhanke pehli baar

आ आ आ आ आ
आ आ आ आ आ
शाम सुहानी आई
खुशियाँ बन के पहली बार
शाम सुहानी आई
खुशियाँ बन के पहली बार
आज कई बरसों में
पायल छनके पहली बार
हुयी अधूरी आशा पूरी
टूटी दूर कि दूरी
टूटी दूर कि दूरी
तो लेकर ठुमका नाचूँ
आज मैं तन के पहली बार
तो लेकर ठुमका नाचूँ
आज मैं तन के पहली बार
पहली बार
शाम सुहानी आई
खुशियाँ बन के पहली बार
आज कई बरसों में
पायल छनके पहली बार
हुयी अधूरी आशा पूरी
टूटी दूर कि दूरी
टूटी दूर कि दूरी
लेकर ठुमका नाचूँ
आज मैं तन के पहली बार
शाम सुहानी आई
खुशियाँ बन के पहली बार
जी चाहे मैं हो के सौदाई
लुटा दूं खुदाई
मिला है मुझे प्यार
मिला है बेशुमार
जी चाहे मैं हो के सौदाई
लुटा दूं खुदाई
मिला है मुझे प्यार
मिला है बेशुमार
रात आयी है किस्मतवाली
जलाओ दीवाली
मिला है करार
मिला है संसार
इस मन की पावन धरती से
फूट पडा है प्यार
फूट पडा है प्यार
पहली बार
फूल खिले है देखो
मेरे मन के पहली बार
फूल खिले है देखो
मेरे मन के पहली बार
शाम सुहानी आई
खुशियाँ बन के पहली बार
खाता जा पीता जा
भर पैमाना तू
हे हे
खाता जा पीता जा
भर पैमाना तू
हो हो
अपना रंग जमाता जा
हो दीवाना तू
हे हे
मस्ती में लहराता जा
बन मस्ताना तू
अपना आज बनाता जा
ये ज़माना तू
मेरे जीवन के गुलशन में
आयी नयी बहार
आयी नयी बहार
पहली बार
एक फौजी का बेटा
चला है तन के पहली बार
एक फौजी का बेटा
चला है तन के पहली बार
शाम सुहानी आई
खुशियाँ बन के पहली बार
देखो कैसे ख़ुशी के रंग छाये
दुपट्टा उड़ा जाए
पतंग बन के
उमंग बन के
देखो कैसे ख़ुशी के रंग छाये
दुपट्टा उड़ा जाए
पतंग बन के
उमंग बन के
मैं तो अम्बर कि बाहों में झूलूँ
सितारों को छू लूं
किरण बन के
सपन बन के
आज मेरे सीने में धड़कन
मीठी करे पुकार
मीठी करे पुकार
पहली बार
मेरे दिल में आजा
मेरा बन के पहली बार
मेरे दिल में आजा
मेरा बन के पहली बार
शाम सुहानी आई
खुशियाँ बन के पहली बार
आज कई बरसों में
पायल छनके पहली बार
