Everything about it is so completely evokes the essence of spring: the music is frothy and light, the picturization - a little family off for a picnic, cycling through pretty countryside—and, most importantly, the lyrics. Lyrics which talk of buds blooming, of a koel calling by the riverside. Of a papiha, of clouds. Or flower-filled gardens. Of spring and joy and love. 04-SAANWLE SALONE AAYE DIN BAHAAR KE CD MISC-20250202 TRACK#04 3:40 EK HI RAASTA-1956; HEMANT KUMAR, LATA MANGESHKAR; HEMANT KUMAR; MAJROOH SULTANPURI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n5dL4py0As SANG BASANTI ANG BASANTI This is another old Bollywood hit on Basant Panchami festival from movie Raja Aur Runk. This is actually a dance song of old times and was very popular among youth. The movie was released in 1968, under the direction of Kotayya Pratyagatma. Talking about the leading star cast, Sanjeev Kumar, Kumkum, Ajit and Nirupa Roy were in lead role. This beautiful composition of Laxmikant Pyarelal was sung by three legendary singers Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, & Manna Dey. 05-SANG BASANTI ANG BASANTI CD MISC-20250202 TRACK#05 5:16 RAJA AUR RUNK-1968; MOHAMMAD RAFI, LATA MANGESHKAR, MANNA DEY; LAXMIKANT-PYARELAL; ANAND BAKSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGvxrCiE028 When someone says Bollywood and Sarson Ke Khet (mustard fields), the one picture that comes to our mind is the all-time favourite song ‘Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam’ from the iconic movie ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (DDLJ). The still shots from the field, the bell hung around the cow’s neck, blowing winds, Shah Rukh Khan with his signature open arm pose and Kajol running straight to his arms, is just pure bliss. And the song continues ‘Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh….’ We just can’t get over the song, scene, sarson ke khet, and the movie even after almost three decades. We all have grown up watching DDLJ and secretly dreaming about our romantic vacation. All the point of taking you to Punjab’s field is the arrival of the spring season. On the occasion of Vasant Panchami, we bring to you some Bollywood songs that beautifully showcase bright yellow mustard flowers in the Indian fields. This has to be on number one in the list. ‘Tujhe dekha toh jaana sanam..’ is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Kumar Sanu. Anand Bakshi won the Filmfare award for the best lyricist. 06-TUJHE DEKHA TO YE JANA SANAM CD MISC-20250202 TRACK#06 5:10 DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE-1995; LATA MANGESHKAR, KUMAR SANU; JATIN-LALIT; ANAND BAKSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3q6OZbjgKU जब फूलों पर बहार आ जाती है, खेतों में सरसों का सोना चमकने लगता है, जौ और गेहूँ की बालियाँ खिलने लगती हैं, आमों के पेड़ों पर बौर आ जाती है और हर तरफ तितलियाँ मँडराने लगती हैं, तब वसंत पंचमी का त्योहार आता है। इसे ऋषि पंचमी भी कहते हैं। 07-YEH MAUSAM KA JADOO HAI MITWA CD MISC-20250202 TRACK#07 4:44 HUM AAPKE HAI KAUN-1994; LATA MANGESHKAR, S. P. BALASUBRAMANIAM; RAMLAXMAN (VIJAY PATIL); RAVINDER RAWAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMOEjA6UMsQ AAYEE ZHOOM KE BASANT ZHOOMO SANG SANG MEIN-UPKAR This is one of the iconic songs of spring season from Bollywood movie Upkar. The voices of Asha Bhosle, Shamshad Begum & Manna Dey did magic in this soundtrack. The song was released in 1967 and is still counted as the best song for Basant Panchami. This was actually an initiative by actor Manoj Kumar to whom Prime Minister Late Sh. Lal Bahadur Shashtri requested for making a movie on farmers. After successfully releasing Shaheed movie, this was also a massive hit on Indian cinema. 08-AAYEE ZHOOM KE BASANT CD MISC-20250202 TRACK#08 7:23 UPKAR-1967; ASHA BHOSLE, SHAMSHAD BEGUM, MANNA DEY, MAHENDRA KAPOOR; KALYANJI-ANANDJI; PREM DHAWAN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M8J56do47Q 97-ANTMEIN-SIGNOFF – 2:24 BACKGROUND MUSIC-INSTRUMENTAL-GLOBAL FESTIVAL ---------------------------------------------------------- अंत मे छोटी सी बात ‘An Indian Morning’ की तरफसे: ---------------------------------------------------------- “A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.” -Benjamin Franklin “एक मकान तब तक घर नहीं बनता जब तक उसमें मस्तिष्क और शरीर दोनों के लिए भोजन और अग्नि न हो।” -बेंजामिन फ्रैंकलिन ---------------------------------------------------------- हमारा आपके साथ आज यहीं तक का सफर था. तो चलिए आपसे अब हम विदा लेते है. अगली मुलाकात तक खुश रहिये, स्वस्थ रहिये और हाँ An Indian Morning पर हमसे मिलते रहिये. हंसते रहिये, क्योंकि हंसना निशुल्क है और एक सुलभ दवा है। Well, that's all the time we have with you today!
