बड़ा नटखट है रे कृष्ण कन्हैया: आनंद बक्षी का मदर्स डे स्पेशल गाना

बड़ा नटखट है रे कृष्ण कन्हैया
का करे यशोदा मैय्या – 2

ढूंढें री अखियाँ उसे चहू ओर
जाने कहाँ छुप गया नंदकिशोर
उड़ गया जैसे पुरवय्या
का करे यशोदा मैय्या

आ तोहे मैं गले से लगा लूं
लागे ना किसी की नज़र, मन में छूपा लूं
धूप जगत है रे ममता है छैय्या
का करे यशोदा मैय्या

मेरे जीवन का तू एक ही सपना
जो कोई देखे तोहे समझे वो अपना
सब का है प्यार बंसी बजय्या
का करे यशोदा मैय्या

बड़ा नटखट है रे …

Movie: Amar Prem

Amar Prem is a 1972 Indian drama film directed by Shakti Samanta, based on a Bengali short story Hinger Kochuri by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay about a school boy, who is ill-treated by his step mother, and becomes friends with a prostitute neighbour. The film stars Sharmila Tagore playing a prostitute with a heart of gold, with Rajesh Khanna in the role of a lonely businessman and Vinod Mehra as adult Nandu, the young child, who they both come to care for.

The film is noted for its music by R.D. Burman; numbers sung by famous playback singers like Kishore Kumar, R.D. Burman’s father S.D. Burman and Lata Mangeshkar; lyrics were by Anand Bakshi. The thought-provoking song Chingaari Koi Bhadke, written by Anand Bakshi and sung by Kishore Kumar, is one of the highlights of this classic. The song topped at 5th position on year-end chart toppers list Binaca Geetmala annual list 1972.

The film is a remake of a Bengali film Nishi Padma (1970), directed by Arabinda Mukherjee, who wrote screenplay for both the films; it starred Uttam Kumar and Sabitri Chatterjee as leads. The film portrays the decline of human values and relationships and contrasts it by presenting an illustrious example of a boy’s innocent love for a neighborhood courtesan.
