He expresses through his singing style the hedonistic but romantic feelings of a contented young man experiencing the first days of romantic love. Rafi makes more of an impression here than in the previous track. I can guarantee that the choral refrains of “ arre paagal, arre paagal!” will make you want to sing along. What is even more fun to listen to is “ Matwale Jiya” (Lata, Rafi and chorus). She steals the thunder from Rafi and makes the jovial song her own. “ O Gadiwale” is uplifted by Shamshad’s brand of rollicking enthusiasm. Nevertheless, this thrilling composition is still very enjoyable to listen to. As a result, her voice sounds a bit shrill. In parts of the song, Lata has been made to sing at a higher pitch than what would normally be allowed by the music director. It gets even more powerful in “ O Jaanewale Jao Na”. Naushad has created a score here that becomes very dramatic and operatic towards the end of the piece. “T ere liye hoon paagal aakhir to maa hoon teri.” Lata’s singing is exemplary but I do feel that her voice was rather too young to be used for a middle-aged mother character (Shamshad would have been a better choice). The lyrics convey the affection and anguish that a loving mother often feels for her child. This song has become a classic in its own right as it is now played on almost every Asian radio station on Mother’s Day. In the former, a mother calls out for her son. Besides Lata, both the songs have in common the theme of imploring people to return. Radha’s desperation is depicted in the next two tracks, “ O Mere Laal Aaja” and “ O Jaanewale Jao Na”. Her sweet singing is just perfect for a song about a shy girl discovering that she has found the man of her dreams. If one could feel her heart break during the last two songs then one can definitely feel Lata’s coy smile cascading on her lips while crooning this number. “ Ghoongat Nahin Kholungi Saiyan Tore Aage”, whispers Lata. The next track is happier and quite charming. His words reflect the determination and the thoughtful nature of the film’s main protagonist, Radha ( Nargis). Shakeel Badayuni’s lyrics are more philosophical. As one may be able to guess from the line in the title, Meena Mangeshkar and Usha Mangeshkar (who sing for Nargis’s character’s two sons in the film). Lata carries on the theme of suffering and heartbreak in “D uniya Main Hum Aaye Hain To Jeena Hi Padega, Jeevan Hai Agar Zahar To Peena Hi Padega”. One can almost feel the sound of her heart being crushed to pieces as she calls out for her beloved. “ Nagri Nagri Dware Dware Dhoondo Re Sanwariya” is given an emotional rendition by This is a standard run-of-the-mill song about a young bride leaving her parent’s house. Shamshad has sobered down her excitement and adopted a melancholic tone for “ Pee Ke Ghar Aaj Pyari Dulhaniya Chali”. She was always able to portray infectious excitement through her rustic voice so her singing makes this Shamshad was a brilliant choice for this type of song. One of Naushad’s most favorite singers, Shamshad Begum, yields another boisterous yet traditional number, “ Holi Aayi Re Kanhai”. In a way, the folksy beat and the lively chorus reminds one of “ Ghanan Ghanan” from “ Lagaan”, composed by A.R. The result is a merry tune that reflects the cheerful mood of the main characters in a certain juncture of the story. Here, they sing enthusiastically and provide a first-rate back-up for the four lead singers. Naushad has always been very adept at bringing the best out of his chorus. “ Dukh Bhare Din Beete Re Bhaiya” is a sparky and happy melody rendered by What cannot be doubted though is Naushad’s effort to reflect the mood of the film’s plot into his musical pieces. Naushad’s work here is excellent, others believe that the tunes lack a certain joie de vivre. The soundtrack of this motion picture, however, generates mixed feelings among fans of Hindi music.
