– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Today 4^th January is the twenty fifth ‘Remembrance Day’ (27^th June’1939- 04^th January’1994) of the ‘versatile genius’ RD Burman or our beloved Pancham Da. One cannot believe that it is twenty five years now since Pancham Da left us. His songs are a daily routine for me and maybe many like me, and so it never appears that he is not there. He is always there with us – the music lovers.

I wish to send an article with other song composed by Pancham for this occasion, however could not finish that article hence I for today’s occasion I am sharing herewith one of my already pending article under the series ‘Pancham-Rafi Jodi’s variety songs. We already have the following songs earlier in this series posted on the blog;

Jaag devta naag devta

Raqqaasa mare naam

Maine kab chaaha ke doolha banoonga

So coming back after a long gap in this series, today we have song composed by RD Burman from the movie ‘Takkar’ (1980). Today’s song of ‘Pancham – Rafi Jodi Songs’ is a melodious devotional song.

‘Takkar’ is a Padmalaya Films Production. produced by GA Sheshagiri Rao and directed by K Bapaiyaa. The movie had Sanjeev Kumar, Zeenat Aman, Jeetendra, Jayaprada, Vinod Mehra (double role), Bindiya Goswami, Ranjeet, Mac Mohan, Ashok Kumar, Kamini Kaushal, Sujit Kumar, Jeevan, Mukri, Asrani, Shivaraj, Leela Chitnis, Komila Virk, Jalal Agha, Mohan Choti, Master Bittoo, A. Abdul Hameed, Mac Mohan, Umesh Sharma, Swaraj Gupta, Anand Mohan, Umesh Khanna, K N Reddy, Pawan Babu, Asha Sachdev, Prema Narayan etc. in it.

As per HFGK this movie was passed by Censor Board on 07.04.1980. It had total seven songs in it wherein Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Mahendra Kapoor, and Mohd Rafi gave their voices to the songs in this movie. Lyrics for this movie were written by Anand Bakshi and Music was composed by R.D. Burman.

I do not remember to have heard this song till this post. Also from the list of other songs of this movie they don’t seem familiar to me. Though I am aware that there was this movie in those days, but have not watched it then and even till date. This is the second song from this film to appear on the blog.

Here is the brief about this film that Atul ji mentioned while posting the first song from this film (on 09.09.2013) – Moorty Ganesh Ki Andar Daulat Desh Ki.

In today’s song Sanjeev Kumar and Zeenat Aman are lip syncing in Mohd Rafi and Asha Bhonsle’s voice respectively on the screen. Ashok Kumar, Kamini Kaushal, Jeevan, Bindiya Goswami and others are seen in the song.

From the video of the song one can assume that Zeenat Aman looks for her ‘Shyam’ in Sanjeev Kumar and Ashok Kumar seems to find the spiritual one, few seem to be interested in Kanhaiyya’s moorty itself and Sanjeev Kumar preparing to take on the evils or he too wants to get this ‘moorty’. Only those who have watched this movie can help us.

But the song is a nice hummable one. As mentioned above lyrics of this song are by Anand Bakshi and it is composed by RD Burman.

Let us now enjoy this interesting song.

Song – Maakhan Chor Nandkishore Manmohan Ghanshyam Re (Takkar) (1980) Singer – Mohammed Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics – Anand Bakshi, MD – RD Burman

माखनचोर नंदकिशोर
मनमोहन घनश्याम रे
कितने तेरे रूप रे
कितने तेरे नाम रे

अरे माखनचोर नंदकिशोर
मनमोहन घनश्याम रे
कितने तेरे रूप रे
कितने तेरे नाम रे

देवकी माँ ने जनम दिया और
मैय्या यशोदा ने पाला आ आ आ
देवकी माँ ने जनम दिया और
मैय्या यशोदा ने पाला आ
तू गोकुल का ग्वाला
बिंद्राबन का बंसरी वाला आ

हो आज तेरी बंसी फिर बाजी
मेरे मन के धाम रे
कितने तेरे रूप रे
कितने तेरे नाम रे

हो माखनचोर नंदकिशोर
मनमोहन घनश्याम रे
कितने तेरे रूप रे
कितने तेरे नाम रे

काली नाग के साथ लड़ा तू
ज़ालिम कंस कों मारा आ आ आ
काली नाग के साथ लड़ा तू
ज़ालिम कंस कों मारा आ आ
बाल अवस्था में ही तुने
खेला खेल ये सारा

तेरा बचपन
तेरा जीवन
जैसे एक संग्राम रे
कितने तेरे रूप रे
कितने तेरे नाम रे

ओ माखनचोर नंदकिशोर
मनमोहन घनश्याम रे
कितने तेरे रूप रे ए
कितने तेरे नाम रे ए

तुने सबका चैन चुराया
ओ चितचोर कन्हैय्या आ आ आ
तुने सबका चैन चुराया
ओ चितचोर कन्हैय्या
ओ ओ ओ
जाने कब घर आये देखे
राह यशोदा मैय्या
अरे व्याकुल राधा ढूंढें श्याम
न आया हो गयी शाम रे
कितने तेरे रूप रे
कितने तेरे नाम रे


ओ माखनचोर नंदकिशोर
मनमोहन घनश्याम रे
कितने तेरे रूप रे ए
कितने तेरे नाम रे ए …
