BEAUTIFUL DUET #49 – DHAK DHAK KARNE LAGA

I started this series on my Facebook group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne on 23 Aug 20. Since then, many other members have put up these songs. Here, I shall be giving you one of my own, per day.

Last time, I gave you Beautiful Duet #48 – Maine kaha tha aana Sunday ko. So here, then, is the next one:

Song #49
Dhak dhak karne laga

Remembering Saroj Khan on Her First Birth Anniversary After Her Death, 22 Nov 20220

She died this year on 3rd Jul at the height of COVID 19 Lockdowns and hence only twenty people could attend her funeral. What she did to about 3000 songs in Hindi movies would have actually had millions appearing for her death at sudden cardiac arrest.

Not just that she was the first female choreographer in the Hindi movies, her choreography of the songs of the movies often led to the movie becoming super hit. Let me give you some examples: Sridevi’s Hawa hawai song’s choreography was copied not only in movies in other languages but also in Hindi movies! Similarly, this song made Madhuri Dixit and the movie Beta of 1992 super hits.

One can say, with great credibility, that she also helped redefine choreography by focusing on sensuality.

Beta – 1992

Indra Kumar’s 1992 movie starred Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit in the lead roles and star in this beautiful duet too. The song won Saroj Khan the Filmfare Best Choreography Award and helped quicken the heartbeats of many of us. I trace my own insomnia back to this song!

Anil Kapoor and Nadhuri Dixit easily walked away with Best Actor and Best Actress awards and Aunradha Paudwal for the Best Female Playback singer. She sang for Madhuri Dixit and Udit Narayan for Anil Kapoor.

My Own Poetry

I never give my own poetry on Shakeel’s songs. However, Sameer wrote these lyrics and here is my matching poetry:

Here is as light-hearted one as Sameer wrote:

Pyaar Mein Lachaar

बात बात पे समझती हैं मुझे गुनहगार,
पर कहती हैं यही तो है सच्चा प्यार।
चेहरा रहता है लाल जैसे चढ़ा हो बुखार,
पर फिर भी कहती हैं उन्हें है प्यार।
सर हिला के हर चीज़ को करती हैं इनकार,
पर इसमें शक नहीं उन्हें है बहुत प्यार।
डांट खाने पे हम रोते हैं ज़ार ज़ार,
चलो कम से कम उन्हें हमसे है प्यार।
कभी देती हैं ललकार, कभी देती हैं दुत्कार,
कहती है सिर्फ हम से ही है उन्हें प्यार।
जब से हुआ है उन्हें, मेरा जीना है दुश्वार,
हाय, क्यूं हुआ है उन्हें मुझसे प्यार?
फटे कपड़ों में अब किस से करें इज़हार,
कि मेरा बैड लक है, उन्हें है मुझसे प्यार।
हमारा सोना और जीना है उनका उधार,
आह, उनको हम से ही तो है प्यार!
बस अब जीने दे मुझे मेरी यार,
कुछ रोज़ रहने दे अपना यह प्यार।

The Song

These lyrics are by Sameer who is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest number of songs written by him. These were composed by Anand Milind:

अ: (धक-धक करने लगा, हो मोरा जीयरा डरने लगा
सैंया बैंया छोड़ ना, कच्ची कलियाँ तोड़ न) -२

उ: (दिल से दिल मिल गया, मुझसे कैसी ये हया
तू है मेरी दिलरुबा, क्या लगती है, वाह रे वाह) -२

अ: अपना बनाया पीया तूने मुझे, मैं मीठे-मीठे सपने सजाने लगी
उ: देखा मेरी रानी जब मैंने तुझे, मेरी सोई-सोई धड़कन गाने लगी
अ: जादू तेरा छाने लगा, मेरी नस-नस में समाने लगा
उ: ख़ुद को मैं भुलाने लगा, तुझे साँसों में बसाने लगा
अ: रिश्ता, अब ये रिश्ता, साथी टूटेगा न तोड़े कभी
उ: दिल से दिल मिल गया …

उ: उलझी है काली-काली लट तेरी, ज़रा इन ज़ुल्फ़ों को सुलझाने तो दे
अ: इतनी भी क्या है जलदी तुझे, घड़ी अपने मिलन की तू आने तो दे
उ: ऐसे न बहाने बना, मेरी रानी, अब तो बाहों में आ
अ: ऐसे न निगाहें मिला, कोई देखेगा तो सोचेगा क्या?
उ: मस्ती छाई है मस्ती, आके लग जा गले से अभी

अ: धक-धक करने लगा …
उ: दिल से दिल मिल गया …

Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy: Dhak dhak karne laga…

I hope you liked my choice of Beautiful Duet #49.

Please await Beautiful Duet #50 – Jaanu jaanu re kaahe khanke hai.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
