Jagte Raho - Teki Main Jhooth Boliya - Mohd Rafi - S Balbir

[kushsad]

I fully agree with Nusrat. Probably, it reflected the pathos those days ( As I was not born then), and fully reflects the present day reality.

beautiful composition and singing 

[ilyasahmetoglu]

what does the song mean? Can anybody upload English lyrics? I think the song is so meaningful. I feel though I don't understand it.

[Nusrat5791]

@ilyasahmetoglu the song addresses indian societies' hypocrisy - talks about preachers pocketing donations, honest men going to the gallows while the crooked get away etc, etc.

song was relevant for india, and the world, then, sadly it's more relevant for india, and the world, now.

nice song salil ji we miss u

[YAWASIMOFA5]

What a superb composition based on Punjabi music by a Bengali Music Director Salil Chaudhry. That is Salil Chaudhry's versatality. He composed the (masterpiece) song "Jagomohan pyare" in classical raag, "Haryala saajan dhol bajata aaya (Do bigha zameen) in folk music, and "Jungle me mor naacha" in Western style. Great artist with amazing talent.In addition to this he was an intellectual and literary figure of Bengali language.

LIFE TRUTH.

And who is the actor in the very first scene, before the song begins. He had earlier acted in Shree 420 as the Seth who takes advantage of RajKapur.

[GUNIDAS]

This song was the only pure Punjabi song that lyricist Prem Dhawan wrote for a Hindi film. And it has become immortal! Rafi and Balbir sang it with full Punjabi gusto. Credit must be given to the Bengali compose Salil Cahudhary for composing this 100% pure Punjabi music. The traditional Bhangra dance by Manohar Deepak and his party is also superb.

[gugs76]

That is authentic, raw bhangra right there.

[gasperagacy]

@gugs76 This style of bhangra is called "Jhumar" which till few days back was almost dead. but than to an old dancer of this style and Ludhiana Police who took bhangra as physical work out this style is alive and growing fast. and the dancer is the other singer of this song Balbir, he later married another dancer with Helen, Madhumati. he was a great dancer of bhangra, waltz, twist and Flamenco and with that was a good singer too and sang some great songs

[kaimov5100]

I like this song

[vermasureshc]

Raj Kapoor's probably the best film, though not directed by him. He himself gave a scintillating performance. Apart form this song, other two songs stood out, Lata's 'Jaago Mohan Pyare Jaago' and Mukesh's 'Zindagi khwab hai'. Motilal was excellent, as usual, in a cameo.

[iseeking]

Is this a traditional punjabi song or written for this movie? For a Bengali Salil Choudhury did a great job of composing the music.

[gasperagacy]

@iseeking yes it is indeed a traditional punjabi songs

[darshanarora44]

very beautiful and very true,should learn from this and correct the corrupts.

My body is ready.
