Gore Gore O Banki Chhore

                                     

Gore Gore O Banke Chhore- Lata Mangeshkar and Amirbai Karnataki- Film Samadhi 1950- Rajendra Krishna- C.Ramchandra.

A patriotic spy thriller, ‘Samadhi” revolves around Subhash Chandra Bose's clarion call to the youth to join his revived Indian National Army, and liberate the country from the British.To raise funds in Malaya, Bose auctions his garland which the wealthy Shekhar (Ashok Kumar) not only buys, but also joins the INA, leaving behind his blind father Badri Prasad (Ram Prasad), and kid brother, Pratap (Shashi Kapoor) much to the dismay of his elder brother Suresh (Shyam), an officer in the British army. Suresh is in love with Dolly D'Souza (Kuldip Kaur), a British spy doubling up as a singer. She also has a younger sister, Lily (Nalini Jaywant) with whom Shekhar instantly falls in love, while watching the sisters dance to the memorable “Gore gore o banke chore” number (Lata Mangeshkar, Amirbai Karnataki).

Here Kuldip Kaur sings in Ameerbai Karnataki whereas Nalini Jaywant sings in Lata's voice. Here again, as in Nirala, Sargam, Lata has dominated the music of C.Ramchandra. She had sung other two solo songs in the film which bear the distinct signature of Lata-C.Ramchandra combo. The songs are-

1) Abhi Shyam Aayegi Nikalenge Taarein.

2) Wo paas aa rahe hai...

The popularity of  " Gore Gore O Banke Chhore" was indisputable. It gave a kind of youthfulness to Indian Film Music. Composer Naushad was generally averse to western kind of  music. However he also fell in love with this song. He used this melody as lorie to get his daughter to sleep. Composer S.D.Burman  hailed this song, as a song which has a connect with youth.

Lyrics of the Song

लता: गोरे गोरे ओ बाँके छोरे कभी मेरी गली आया करो
अमीर: गोरी गोरी ओ बाँकी छोरी चाहे रोज़ बुलाया करो

लता: रोज़ रोज़ मुलाक़ात अच्छी नहीं
       प्यार में ऐसी बात अच्छी नहीं
       थोड़ा थोड़ा मिलना थोड़ी सी जुदाई
       सदा चाँदनी रात अच्ची नहीं
अमीर: छोड़ो छोड़ो, जिया न तोड़ो
       किसी और को जलाया करो

दोनों:
       गोरी गोरी ओ बाँकी छोरी चाहे रोज़ बुलाया करो
       गोरे गोरे ओ बाँके छोरे, कभी मेरी गली आया करो
       गोरी गोरी ओ बाँकी छोरी, चाहे रोज़ बुलाया करो

लता: छोटी-सी बात पर ये लड़ाई?
       प्यार की दुहाई है, प्यार की दुहाई
       अखियों में अखियाँ डाल के तो देखो
       चेहरे पे ग़ुस्सा हाय दिल में सफ़ाई
अमीर: घड़ी घड़ी, ओ बड़ी बड़ी,
       ऐसी बातें न बनाया करो
दोनों:
       गोरी गोरी ओ बाँकी छोरी, चाहे रोज़ बुलाया करो
       गोरे गोरे ओ बाँके छोरे, कभी मेरी गली आया करो
       गोरी गोरी ओ बाँकी छोरी चाहे रोज़ बुलाया करो
