Saawan Ke Jhoole Part 1 - Jurmana



Saawan Ke Jhoole ( Romantic ) or Part 1...



The rude and rich brat Amitabh (Inder) having an attitude that money can buy anything meets his childhood friend Vinod (Prakash) on a business tour. A casual talk leads to a bet between him and Prakash that Inder would prove money is above love and that he would get Rama (Rakhee), who apparently isn't someone who could be lured with money, to fall in love with him. Hence begin AB's tricks and gestures to lure Rama. When nothing works, he takes her out saying they are going to the Sitar maestro Pt. Ravi Shankar's concert. Rama being a classical singer, agrees. On the way, AB decides to tell her the truth to which she objects. AB tells her they can go back but before that, in a last attempt he says he is going forever to foreign and hence he wants to spend some quality time with her, but will return back home, if she insists. This finally works and Rama says they can go back after some time and the situation breaks into this beautiful song.


A very mature subtle love story hence nothing in this song being said directly, no use of common words used in love like mohabbat, ishq, pyar, jaan etc. in the mukhda

A very short and sweet alaap by Lata, followed by lovely guitar strums and rhythm, maadal doing its lovely takum effect.

"saawan ke jhule pade, tum chale aao"

The lingering on "tum chale aao" is really goosebumps.

The first interlude just a brief short piece on accordion and Lata takes off from there.
How beautifully Anand Bakshi describes a woman's dilemma who is just falling in love,

"aanchal na chhode mera, paagal huyi hai pavan - (2)
abb kya karu main jatan, dhadake jiya jaise panchhi ude
saawan ke jhule pade, tum chale aao, tum chale aao"

Second interlude starts on Sitar and suddenly turns suspense kind as Vinod Mehra enters the scene, and finishes off again on accordian as focus switches to Rakhee. The movement of Rakhee as AB walks in the lines "aati hai jo dekh ke, ham uss dagar pe hai kabase khade " is so subtly shot. 

"dil ne pukaara tumhe, yaado ke pardes se - (2)
aati hai jo dekh ke, ham uss dagar pe hai kabse khade
saawan ke jhule pade, tum chale aao, tum chale aao"
