MUSIC #58: JHUK GAYA AASMAN 1968 (HINDI OST)


Jhuk Gaya Aasman (The sky has relented) is a 1968 movie starring Rajendra Kumar and Saira Banu. It was directed by Lekh Tandon with music by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri, Shailendra and S.H Bihari (see the back of the LP cover for the listing)  . The film is a remake of the Hollywood film "Here comes Mr. Jordan (1941)". It performed "below average" at the box office but did rather well musically.



The most notable song from this movie would be "Kaun Hai Jo Sapnome" an outright copy of the song "Marguerita", an Elvis Presley song, from his movie "Fun In Acapulco" (see my posting HERE). It is one of my favs from this album, along with "Kahan Chal Diye" and "Unse Mila Nazar". I give this OST 3.5 stars.



Side One
  1. Kahan Chal Diye - Mohd Rafi
  2. Unse Mila Nazar - Lata Mangeshkar
  3. Sacha Hai Pyar (Happy) - Mohd Rafi
  4. Kisiki Jaan Lete Hai - Asha Bhosle
Side Two
  1. Kaun Hai Jo Sapnome - Mohd Rafi
  2. Meri Ankhon Ki Nindiya - Lata Mangeshkar and Mohd Rafi
  3.  Mere Tumhare Beech Me - Lata Mangeshkar
  4. Sacha Hai Pyar (Sad) - Mohd Rafi

  2. I concur with your ratings of 3.5 since not all the songs were popular. The most popular are as mentioned by you: The title track; Kahaan Chal Diye and Unse Mili Nazar.
    On the aside, Kahaan Chal Diye has a special place in my heart because of its romantic links with Teen Deviyan whom I knew. LOL....
    By the way, this was also the time when Rajendra Kumar's popularity began a steep descent - process that started with Aman. He never regained the position, though there were a couple of successful movies such as Talash and Geet.

  5. Thanks, Veen. Nice Shankar-Jaikishan soundtrack. Love the guitar on Kahan Chal Diye and Rafi's understated singing. And, of course,
    Kaun Hai Jo Sapnome for its "where did I hear that before melody" lol.

  8. That's too bad about your "Fun in Alcapulco" link...Elvis' label must have complained.

  9. Nothing serious there Veen. During the lunch hour those days we used to have a singing session especially on Saturday afternoons. These Teen Deviyan were the regular visitors. One of them looked like Bindiya Goswami who was the rising star of the time. One day, when the session was over, they got up together and were just about to leave when I instantly sang: Kahaan Chal Diye! All of them just stood in their track - there and then. Their response and those moments were such that they have remained glued to my memory ever since - like the photo-frame frozen in time! LOL...

  10. Thanks Veen. Yes, Kahan Chal Diye and Kaun Hai Jo (even though its an "inspired" composition) are pick of the lot.

    Nasir saab's anecdote is enjoyable and made me smile. Bindiya Goswamy? Wasn't she the poor man's Hema Malini those days?
