Bollywood Songs on Money

 

Yesterday the annual budget for the country was presented in the Parliament. this inspired me to write a blog on how the Hindi cinema’s lyricists see the power of money and its importance. P L Santoshi in the 1950 film 'Sargam' wrote ' Baap Bada Na Bhaiya, Sabse Bada Rupaiya' which 25 years later Mehmood  sang the same Mukhda in the 1976 film 'Sab Se Bada Rupaiya'

In 1951 film 'Hamari Shaan', the lyricist Anjum Jaipuri wrote' Damdi Damdi Paisa Paisa Jod Mar Jaate Hain Kanjooson Ka Maal Aakhir Mein Doctor Hi Khate Hain'. In 1957 the lyricist Rajendra Krishan wrote 'Pehle Paisa Phir Bhagwan' in 'Miss Marry' In 1960 film Kala Bazar lyricist Shailendra writes 'Teri Dhum Har Kahin, Tujh Sa Yaar Koi Nahin' picturized on Dev Anand.

Here are a few songs from Hindi films that speak of money and its various hues since the 40s.

Na biwi na bachcha na baap bada na maiyan from Sabse Bada Rupaiya.
This film was released in 1976 produced by Mehmood and this famous song was sung and acted by Mehmood

Sabse bada rupaiya.

Chhan chhan chhan chhan baje rupaiyya naache duniya

This song is from a film called Chaar Paise-1955. This is a funny song and dance video of Kishore Kumar. Funnier was the fact that though this film was passed by the Censors on 12-12-1955, the film was never released in theatres

Chhan chhan chhan chhan baje rupaiyya naache duniya

Kaahe paise pe itna guroor kare hai

This song is from the film Lawaris released in 1981 and picturised on Amitabh Bachchan and Zeenat Aman. Amitabh Bachchan in this song is seen ridiculing Zeenat Aman for her love of money which according to him cannot buy love and other invaluable things in life.

Kaahe paise pe itna guroor kare hai

Is duniya mein sabse achchi cheez hai kya jee paisa

 This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and Geeta Dutt. The song is picturised on Madhubala and her sister Chanchal (both looking so similar in appearance).This  song is from “Mehlon Ke Khwaab” (1960).

Is duniya mein sabse achchi cheez hai kya jee paisa

Paanch rupaiyya barah aana

This song from “Chalti ka naam gaadi”(1958) is a song that  surprises the listeners in a delightful way. Madhubala sings some romantic and inviting “come near” lines, only to be greeted by Kishore Kumar insisting on getting his Rs 5 and paise 75 from her. 

Song from “Chalti ka naam gaadi”(1958)
