Ghar Aaja Ghir Aaye Badra - Mehmood & Ameeta - Chhote Nawab

[Rmehtacpa]

This was Rd's first movie as MD where all the numbers he scored were just excellent, this one being the leading one. Later in his careear though RD did come up with great ones but his first film music was the foremost.

[mohanudiavar]

Thanks for the beautiful song in raag Malgunji.

[rameshthakrar]

One cannot but feel that Only Lataji could have sung such melodiously, although the music seems simple.

[kishori421]

Beautiful composition, beautifully sung and picturised..hardly imagine a more graceful and sophisticated muzra...my favourite and one of the best by Lata..

[ashok1160]

one of the finest compositions of Panchamda

[jameslaand]

salvation relief of music......

[saty007hyd]

What a composition! Evergreen melody... Thanks for posting it here

[diwanee3]

RDB,the melody maker extraordinaire...thx for the upload...

[Mr1saleem]

This beautiful song is composed in raag "malgunji" taal roopak, vow what sweetnes, melody, depth, impact on mood.

[manansinghi]

@Mr1saleem I don't think RD Burman ever used this raag again in any of his compositions.

[Rmehtacpa]

Perhaps the first commerical product and the finest of RD.............creations

[rajivvijayakar]

Kahin bekhayal hokar was ghost-composed by Jaidev as SD's assistant.

[maithilipanse]

thank you Rajshri for uploading such a beautiful song.

[sanjayd411]

With this masterpiece of a song began RD's illustrious and unparalleled career as a music director in india. He gave a quick glimpse of his talents here and went on to give thousands of melodies which till today remain in a class by themselves. May God bless you in the heaven Pancham...and rest in piece.

[prafullarb]

dr.bagewadikar compare with song kahin be khayal hokar rafi from teen deviyan tal music pieces &style clearly indicates s.d. burman's personality may be composed by s d if anybody knows please clarify as this was 1st film of r.d.

[vijayavaman]

Did u listen to those sitar and saarangi score! Beat it. this is RD Burman. Oh lovely lovely song. Yes this need not have been a dance number.

[Bajimastani]

I understand the dancer is Sheila Vaz.

She also danced in the famous song "Leke pehla pehla pyar" with Deva Anand, Shakila and the harmonium player who looks like Dev too.

[Rmehtacpa]

@Bajimastani YES she is Selia Vaz who came to my small town Navsari with Mohd Rafi, Hazara Singh (The Electtic Guitar Player) and troop to perform on the opening of the film theather in 1950s.

[Rmehtacpa]

TOO GOOD a song to be filmed like this and on a supporting role players......what a poor direction. In fact could not be a dance sequence.

[Rmehtacpa]

[Soubhik25]

[Soubhik25]

What a composition....,Long live Panchamda and Lala Mangeskar

[raqib56]

[5umair]

[shama475]

waise ek aur verse hai is geet ka....

[shama475]

yeah this was his first film ...rd burman that is...mehmood gave him the chance and sincethen he took him in every film of his...in fact he played a tiny comic role is bhoot bangla also in pyar ka mausam ...and he's hilarious in it with rajenranath....

itna khubsurat geet unhone ki compose kiya tha pehle pehal...what a genius...

[fazilsyed47]

As I am not a music student I am not sure but as I know from here or there that is tune is based on Raag Tilak Kamod which is used for sad situation. There are some songs that are also on this Raag I think as these all sound near one another. Ye neer kahan se barse hain , ye badri kahan seaayi hai. -Lata in (?) film. Abke baras bhej bhaiya ko babul- Asha in film Bandini. Hiya jarat rahat din rain- Mukesh in film Godan.

[sommuk]

@fazilsyed47 : i thought this is based on Raag Malgunji. no?

[yusufjuneja]

THIS TUNE RDB USED IN HIS LATER FILMS

[happyanands]

The very best!

[araniees]

Yes She is Shiela Vaz of Ramayaa vasthaa vayya & O leke pehala pehala pyar (CID) Dancer also in Tumsa nahi Dekha -Arani Apparao - Hyderabad-A.P.

[sanjayd411]

I remeber listening to this song on radio in India many years ago as a young boy and even today it still sounds as amazing as it did then. Lata Mangeshkar said somewhere that when she recorded this song she knew that there was something special about the then 22yrs old young music director...a.k.a Rahul Dev Burman.

[vivedsen1]

i have liked this song from the time I was 5 years old

[aramuskguy]

The first song that R.D.Burman ever composed ( officially at least) for a movie and it had to be Lata Mangeshkar to sing the song. One of RDB's best compositions ever....Lata gave her best to this song , composed by the son of S.D.Burman for whom she had already sung some immortal songs....Wonder what Dada Burman thought of this song !

[MelodyQueenLATA]

Just simply a wonderful upload, really enjoyed it, thank you.10********************

[Rmehtacpa]

The best of all classics of Lata that RD produced.

[durlabhpkolhe]

r.d.s debute film produced by his freind mehmood.a good classical score by r.d. and lata.

[shubh37]

Shula Dhavan of Ramaiyaa vastaavaiyaa fame

[nikhil978000]

The Movie is 'Chote Nawab' [1961] Mehmood's Home Production.Story by his father Mumtaz Ali & Directed by his Brother-in-Law S.A.Kishore who also directed Pati Patni and the very popular Johar Mehmood in Hong Kong later in 1971. Chote nawab starred Ameeta and Mehmood as the lead pair.

[globescape]

what is name of the actress in this video?

[nickkohri]

@globescape The dancer is none other than the Goani golgappa Shiela Vaz!

[TheDaytripperr]

Thanks!

[vithalrukmai]

beautiful song! thanks for posting.

[ElenoroftheShire]

The sweetness of music and the words and the simplicity of love and longing cannot be duplicated ever.

[oldsongsfan]

There is a wonderful song of Kamal Barot on

Sheila Vazz- Suna Hai Jabse -Film-Ranudada.

Do watch it & enjoy.

[Madhu90210]

It is said that R. D. Burman felt that for his success his 1st song had to be sung by Lata Mangeshkar. However, in those days there was some trouble between Lata & S. D. Burman and they were not working together. R. D. Burman asked his dad to seek out Lata and mend their differences so that Lata would sing his 1st song. She did and it was an instant hit. Her making up with S. D. Burman also lead to many beautiful songs they created together in the 60s such as those in the movie Guide.

[Madhu90210]

Mehmood gave R. D. Burman his first chance to become a Music Director with Chhote Nawab and Asha Bhonsle acknowledged this when she invited Mehmood's chhote nawab (his son Lucky Ali) to join her on stage to sing. She said Pancham would have been proud to have been able to give Lucky Ali the chance since he owed his own chance to Mehmood. What a nice acknowledgement.

[Madhu90210]

It is not surprising that Mehmood was the lead actor in this movie since it was a home production. I don't know if this was his first movie as a leading man or not but he has had a few. In fact some very nice romantic songs have been filmed on him. His sister Meenu Mumtaz played the role of his elder sister in this movie. In this clip the girl crying at home is Ameeta while Mehmood is enjoying the dancing of a courtesan. She appears to be Shubha Khote who was paired with Mehmood in many movies.

[BlueNargis]

This is not Shubha Khote though I dont know who she is.

[PankajDalal]

Sheila Vazz. She was also in CID leke pahela pahela pyar

[minmoh]

ameeta

[anand303030]

[falsa99]

[jitendravss]

this is the first film for R.D.Burman as music director, and perhaps the first for Mehmood as the male lead.
