What I knew about “Taraanaa” (1951) was that the movie had Dilip Kumar and Madhubala in lead roles. But was that all ? there was more to it than just these two.

Here is a song from this movie to show what I mean. The song begins with a pretty lady singing a nice song. Close scrutiny reveals that it is a vet young and pretty Madhubala singing in Lata’s voice. After two stanzas, the voice changes, as does the lady. Madubala is replaced by another pretty lady and Lata’s voice gives way to another voice. Close scrutiny reveals that it is a young and Pretty Shyama singing in the voice of Sandhya Mukherji. So a song that I expected to be a Lata song picturised on Madhubala proves to be a double bill, both in audio as well as picturisation. Two of my favourite pretty ladies in the same song picturisation- this is indeed a nice and pleasant surprise. and for that reason, I would regard this song as a special song.

This is a lovely song, written by Prem Dhawan, and its music is composed by Anil Biswas.this song is indeed a forgotten gem.

Song-Bol papeehe bol re (Taraana) (1951) Singers-Lata, Sandhya Mukherji, Lyrics-Prem Dhawan, MD-Anil Biswas

Lyrics

bol papeehe bol re tu bol papeehe bol
hai kaun meraa chitchor kaun meraa chitchor
hai kaun meraa chitchor kaun meraa chitchor
bol papeehe bol re tu bol papeehe bol

kuchh ankhiyon se naadaani huyi
main lut gayi re deewaani huyi
main lut gayi re deewaani huyi
ankhiyon ne kahaa
ankhiyon ne kahaa ankhiyon ne sunaa
ankhiyon ne kahaa ankhiyon ne sunaa
kuchh aisi prem-kahaani huyi
meri kaali-kaali raaton mein
meri kaali-kaali raaton mein koyi le ke aayaa bhor
koyi le ke aayaa bhor
bol papeehe bol re tu bol papeehe bol

bol papeehe bol re tu bol papeehe bol
hai kaun meraa chitchor kaun meraa chitchor
hai kaun meraa chitchor kaun meraa chitchor
bol papeehe bol re tu bol papeehe bol

honthon pe taraanaa kiskaa hai kiskaa hai
aankhon mein fasaanaa kiskaa hai
aankhon mein fasaanaa kiskaa hai
saanson mein kabhi dhadkan mein kabhi
saanson mein kabhi dhadkan mein kabhi
ye aanaa-jaanaa kiskaa hai
ye aanaa-jaanaa kiskaa hai
main khushboo hoon kis phool ki
main khushboo hoon kis phool ki
hoon kis chandaa ki chakor
hoon kis chandaa ki chakor
bol papeehe bol re tu bol papeehe bol
hai kaun meraa chitchor kaun meraa chitchor
hai kaun meraa chitchor kaun meraa chitchor
bol papeehe bol re tu bol papeehe bol
