First song of Holi in films
Holi colors and songs have their own special significance in Hindi cinema. The colors and songs of Holi in cinema have always entertained the whole society. Imagine If there were no Holi songs in cinema, then today we would dance to whose tune. The folk songs of Holi are now limited to the village. In Mathura, Vrindavan or Barsane, you are heard to see the lokswar of Holi. Whereas in all the parts of the country, the tune of film Holi songs remains. In such a situation, some most popular Holi songs of Hindi films discuss. Try to know when Holi starts in films. Which is the first Holi song. Today, why is Holi gradually decreasing in films.
However, it was not so two and a half decades ago. In the sixties and seventies, Holi was a formula to make films a hit. As far as the first song of Holi comes, it can be heard in the film of the forty. The first song of Holi is seen in the 1940 film woman. This film was made by Mehboob Khan. Which was remade as Mother India.
There were two Holi songs in the woman. One was Holi- Jamuna coast in the evening Holi… and the second song was- today Holi will play with Saajan… Anil was a musician- Anil Biswas. It is believed that Holi in Hindi cinema starts with the 1940 film woman. However, I believe that further research needs to be done in this direction.
Holi songs outside
After this, Holi song comes out in the 1950 film Jogan, which became very popular later. The song Daro Re Daro Rang Daro Re Rasiya, sung in the voice of Geeta Dutt, won the hearts of the people at that time. Although Dilip Kumar and Nargis’s film is also famous for their sweet songs, but this Holi song established a new benchmark. After this, Holi songs come out on the silver screen.
In 1953, another comes again- Aan. Once again looks- Dilip Kumar. Aan has its own special significance in the history of Hindi cinema. Nimmi and Nadira performed brilliantly in this film with Dilip Kumar. The film is still discussed about the sweet song-music and exciting scenes.
The Holi song of this film was- Khelo, today Holi came with us with Holi… Even today, they are heard a lot on the occasion of Holi. Actress Nimmi, with a beautiful smile with young Dilip Kumar, is very much liked on the screen. There are two more films in Sans 53- Rahi and Mashuka. The Holi song of these two films made a splash. Even today, a lot is heard on the occasion of Holi. Rahi’s song was Holi Khele Nandlal, Holi Khele Nandlal in Biraj… Once again the music of Anil Vishwas. Anil is made in the music of Vishwas on seeing the shade of folk dances of Assam and Bengal. Apart from Devanand and Nalini Jaywant, Balraj Sahni played a lead role in Khwaja Ahmed Abbas’s film.
Holi Khele Nandalala .. Holi Khele
The special thing is that Mashuka comes from this year. The song of the song sung by Mukesh and Suraiya is also the same- Holi Khele Nandalala .. Holi Khele… This time the lyricist was Shailendra and composer was Roshan. It is worth noting that the film comes for about 10 years- Godan, in that film too, the same face is heard once again. It was filmed on Mahmud. The voice was- Mohammad Rafi.
After this, Pooja of the 1954 film and the 1956 film Durgesh Nandini is also very famous for Holi songs. Pooja’s songs… Holi came, Pyari-Pyari Bhar Pichkari and Durgesh Nandini’s song- Do not kill Shyam Pichkari… are still very popular today. Hemant Kumar gave music in Durgesh Nandini. It was shot on Pradeep Kumar and Bina Roy.
So far, all the Holi songs we have mentioned, one thing is common. In all those songs, words like Radha, Krishna, Kanhaiya, Gopia, Vrindavan, Biraj are generally come. When the film comes in 1957- Mother India, something similar is heard there. Mother India film is also known for a famous song of Holi. This song is- Holi I Re Kanhai Rang Barse, Suna De Jara Flute… Shamshad Begum’s Awaaz, Naushad’s music and Shakeel Badauni’s song. This song was shot on Nargis and Rajkumar.
Song of Asha Bhosle and Mahendra Kapoor sung
Navrang Vi came in 1959. Shantaram holds an important place in the category of classic films. The song written by Bharat Vyas of this film and the music of C. Ramachandra is immortal. The lyrics of the song were- Hey Ja Re Hat Nutkhat Na Chhid Me Panaghat, I will turn you up today, I understand you, understand me, Na Tum Bholi Bhali Re… Asha Bhosle and Mahendra Kapoor sang this song, this song holds an important place in the top Holi songs of Hindi films.
After this, in the sixth decade, Holi started changing the vocabulary of songs. The language of Holi songs started getting closer to life. Kohinoor was the song- Tan Rang Lo Ji Aaj Mana Rang Lo Tan Rang Rang Rang Rang. The voice of Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammad Rafi for the pair of Dilip Kumar and Meena Kumari on screen. The lyricist was- Shakeel Badauni and musician- Naushad. The change in the style of Holi songs and pictures in films starts from here.
Holi song in Rishikesh Mukherjee’s film Do Dil, which came out in 1965, comes out of the devotional rasa of Radha Krishna and the bomb goes to the shelter of Bomb Lahiri. The lyrics were written by Kaifi Azmi. Hemant Kumar gave music. After this, the song comes in the OP Ralhan’s film Phool and Patthar- in which the Holi of the mind was said with the body. The lyrics of the song were- thousands of colors have been Holi for some body, someone for the mind.
The actors in the film were Dharmendra and Meena Kumari. In this song, Meena Kumari had an attempt to color the spirits in the sad world. This had an impact on Rajesh Khanna’s film cut kite. Where Rajesh Khanna also thirsty to fill the moments of the sadness of Sharmila Tagore with colors. And sing- today will not leave… just we choli… Hum Hum Holi… Kishore Kumar’s voice and Rajesh Khanna along with Anand Bakshi and RD Burman changed the tradition of Holi songs.
After this, Holi songs became a guarantee of success. It was tried a lot to the hit formula. Holi songs became so popular that later the title of some films was also dedicated to Holi. Such as Holi I Re (1970) and Phagun (1973). Both films also had Holi songs. During this period, if there is a team of Holi Re Holi in alien wealth, or if the songs come to the rivers in the salt haram, then the portrayal of Holi starts changing. Whose explosion is in the 1995 alltime blockbuster movie Sholay- the hearts blossom on the day of Holi, colors are found in colors… Enemies also embrace… This song changed all the standards of Holi till now. After the injured and the dili, when Yash Chopra comes in the year 1980, all the songs of Holi are left behind. Rang bars barshe soaked chunar wali… Rang bars… Holi is like a promotional song. On the lyrics written by Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Shiv Hari gave music, which was shot on Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bachchan. This is the most super hit song of Holi. This song of Holi changes the definition of fun in Amitabh’s voice. After this, such a popular song of Holi did not come again. Amitabh himself sang Holi in Bagwan Raghuveera… but the color of Silsila is at the rung of popularity compared to the song.
‘To apply a limb to the limb, it will make us like such color…’
After this, the 1982 film Rajput in Bhagi Bhai Bhai Brijbala… or Ki Nadia’s Paar Ka Paar Ka Paar… Jogi ji slowly… Jogi ji wah jogi ji… Akhor’s song- Mal De Gulal Mohe… Mashal Mohe… Mashal Mohe… Holi I Re Holi I Re… and continued to fill the songs of Holi songs. But in 1993, when Shah Rukh Khan’s film I-Dar, its song changed the season of Holi- the Anga Angan Sajan Sajan Hum To Page Hum Tariye… The song again became a blockbuster. Yash Chopra was also behind this.
After this, in 2000, Shah Rukh Khan once again dances to Holi song in Mohabbatein, Aamir Khan in Mangal Pandey The Rising and Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra in the race. Gaid-du me a favorite let’s play Holi but no song is able to collect special color like Golden Era. After a long time, Balam Pichkari tried to change the atmosphere once again in the 2013 film Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. This song was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Like cannabis added to the air, but since then, the hit Holi song is waiting once again in the fij.
