Pancham’s Music – Eighties (1981-1990) -5 (1985)
——————————————————————

In today’s post we move on to Pancham’s music in 1985.

Pancham Da continued to give his best in this year too like the previous years. He composed music for eighteen movies in 1985, one more than the tally of seventeen in 1984.

His music of 1985 was a mix of some excellent, very good and good music. Songs of ‘Alag-Alag’, ‘Saagar’, ‘Arjun’, ‘Savere Waali Gaadi’, ‘Zabardast’, ‘Laava’, ‘Sitamgar’, ‘Raahi Badal Gaye’ (ik baat dil mein aayi hain) were quite popular and frequently heard.

The list of eighteen movies where Pancham composed music in 1985 is given below.

For today’s presentation we have a song from the movie ‘Aar Paar-1985’. This movie will make its debut on the blog today. This was one of the reasons to select a song from this movie. The other reason being that the song is sung by R.D. Burman himself. Another reason is that this song is a lesser-heard song as well. But if one listens to this song a few times it grows upon you. It is a very nice hummable philosophical song.

Today (4 january 2022) happens to be the twenty-eighth ‘Remembrance Day’ (27 June 1939 – 4 January 1994) of our beloved Pancham Da. It has been twenty-eight years since he left us forever. But the music that he created will remain with us forever as long as HFM is around.

This is the fifth song in this series. I had kept this song up my sleeve for this day after drafting it more than one month back.

The song being posted today is our tribute to ‘Pancham Da’ and his ‘music’ in HFM.

The song is from the movie ‘Aar-Paar’(1985). ‘Aar-Paar'(1985) was directed by Shakti Samanta for his home productions ‘Shakti Films, Bombay’. Shakti Samanta was also the producer of this movie. It was an Indo-Bangladesh Co-Production. And Syed Hasan Imam (of Chitrangan-Dhaka) was the Co-Producer of this movie from Bangladesh.

‘Aar-Paar'(1985) had Mithun Chakravarty, Rosina, Nutan, Asit Sen, Utpal Dutt, Manik Dutt, Tarun Ghose, Ghulam Mustafa, Hasan Imam, A.T.M. Shamsuz Zaman, Ahmed Sharif, Ghulam Rafique, Madhu, Shekhar, Amal Bose, Kali Pada Sen, Bullet, Qutub, Mohammad Ali, Chunnu, Minhaz, Barua, Nurul Islam, Sumita Devi, Shahre Banu, Maya Ghose, Reena, Papiya and others.

Story of this movie was written by Shakti Pada Rajguru. Screenplay of this movie was jointly written by Shakti Samanta and Shanu Bannerjee.

Dialogues of this movie were written by Pradeep Roy Chowdhury. Bijoy Chowdhury was the editor of this movie.

This movie had six songs written by Anand Bakshi and composed by R.D. Burman. kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Shailendra Singh, Sabeena, Yasmin and R.D. Burman had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 19.11.1985.

Let us now listen to today’s song which is played in the background while we can see some policemen taking Mithun Chakravarty with them while some villagers (including friends of Mithun Chakravarty in the movie) are seen watching them.

As mentioned above today’s song is sung by R.D. Burman. lyrics are by Anand Bakshi. Music is composed by R.D. Burman.

(This post also serves of bringing movies with same title on the blog. With this song Aar-Paar(1985) joins the well-known movie ‘Aar Paar-(1954) in the blog.

ओ मांझी तेरी नैय्या से छूटा किनारा आ
ओ मांझी तेरी नैय्या से छूटा किनारा आ
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय कि धारा
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा

बिछड़ गए सब
तेरे अपने
उजड़ गए ए सब
सुन्दर सपने ए
बिछड़ गए सब
तेरे अपने
उजड़ गए ए सब
सुन्दर सपने ए
ओ मांझी तेरा खेल
बिगड़ गया सारा आ
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा

हो ओ ओ
दोष न दे तू
इन मौजों को
कुछ मत बोल तू
सब लोगों को
दोष न दे तू
इन मौजों को
कुछ मत बोल तू
सब लोगों को
ओ मांझी तुझे तेरे
नसीबों ने मारा आ
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा

पतवारों को ओ
तोड़ गए हैं
बीच भंवर वो
छोड़ गए हैं
पतवारों को ओ
तोड़ गए हैं
बीच भंवर वो ओ
छोड़ गए हैं
ओ मांझी तूने
जिसको भी पार उतारा आ
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा

ओ मांझी तेरी नैय्या से छूटा किनारा आ

कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा
कहाँ ले चली ई
समय की धारा
