Manmein Kisise Preet Basa Le.......

Manmein Kisiki Preet Basa Le-Lata Mangeshkar-Film Aaram 1951-Lyricist Rajendra Krishna- Music Anil Biswas

Aaram was essentially a romance film released in 1951. This was another musical film after Tarana 1951, in which composer Anil Biswas gave stellar performance. Especially the sweet songs by Lata  sung onscreen by Madhubala, adds to the beauty of Madhbala. In film Tarana,All the songs of Madhubala were sung by Lata. In other words Lata exclusively sang for Madhubala in Tarana. However in Aaram, Lata's voice was not limited to Madhubala. Lata sang total five songs in this film. They are...

1. Ujadi Mere Pyar Ki

2. Rootha Hua Chanda Hai

3. Manmein Kisiki Preet Basa Le

4.Mil Mil Ke Bichhad Gaye Nain

5. Balamwa Naadan...

Out of these five songs first four were for Madhubala, whereas fifth song was for Guddi Maruti, who later on became comedian like Toontoon, because of her fat body. All the songs were razing hit. While the songs Rootha hua Chanda Hai, Manmein Kisiki Preet Basa Le and Balamwa Naadan were in happy mood, the songs Ujadi Mere Pyar Ki and Mil Mil Ke Bichhad gaye nain were depicting the pangs of separation.

The plot of film is as under:

Shyam (Dev Anand) is a struggling artist. While returning home one night, he encounters a young woman, Leela (Madhubala), who, for unexplained reasons, is roaming the streets. A storm breaks out and Shyam lets Leela spend the night at his place. Shyam and Leela fall in love. A little later, Leela gets acquainted with a rani (queen) (Durga Khote). After Leela leaves Shyam's place, she takes refuge with the rani at the rani's haveli. The widowed rani's only son, the musically talented Kumar (Premnath), falls in love with Leela. For the sake of her son's happiness, the rani would like Leela to become her bahu. However, Leela tells them that she is in love with Shyam and both Kumar and his mother, the rani, end up accepting that. Through the rani, Leela even manages to get a painting of Shyam's entered in a competition through which Shyam attains fame. Leela and Shyam decide to travel to Shyam's village to have their wedding. But just as Leela is about to join Shyam, she is kidnapped in front of the rani's haveli by a former suitor from whom she had been running away, and who wants to force Leela to marry him and keeps her prisoner. It turns out later that while trying to prevent the kidnapping, Kumar was seriously hurt, even though nothing of the sort is actually shown on the screen. At one point, Leela almost manages to escape her dungeon with the help of a kindhearted underling of the main villain. After he recaptures Leela, on his own initiative, the villainous suitor arranges a bizarre and inexplicably idiotic meeting between Leela and Shyam to let them take a final leave of one another, at a restaurant where Leela and Shyam had usually been going, and where the owner is a friend of theirs. At that meeting, the villains are overpowered by Shyam, Kumar and others. During the struggle Kumar is shot and wounded. The police arrive to take the overpowered villains into custody. Kumar tells his mother that his wound will heal. The end.

In this song, Madhubala sings in the company of Rani Maa (Durga Khote) and Kumar (Premnath). This is the moment when, Kumar falls madly in love with Leela (Madhubala).Madhubala looks so beautiful in this song, that it is no wonder Premnath falls for her.Anil Biswas melodious tune creates wonderful romantic ambiance in whixh everything becomes lovely. The lyrics of Rajendra Krishna, the music of Anil Biswas, the rendering of the song by Lata and above all the presence of gorgeous and elegant Madhubala makes this song memorable and hummable. The use of piano at the start of the song and in interludes in awesome. The song starts quietly and ends quietly leaving an indellible impression in listners mind.

Lyrics of the Song:
मन में किसी की प्रीत बसाले
ओ मतवाले ओ मतवाले
मन में किसी की प्रीत बसाले
किसी को मन का मीत बनाले
मीत बनाले, ओ मतवाले ओ मतवाले
मन में किसी की प्रीत बसाले

इस दुनियाँ में किसी का होजा
किसी को कर ले अपना
प्रीत बनाले ये जीवन को एक सुहाना सपना
एक सुहाना सपना
जीवन में ये ज्योत जगाले
ओ मतवाले ओ मतवाले
मन में किसी की प्रीत बसाले

प्रीत सताए प्रीत रुलाए
जिया में आग लगाए
जलनेवाला हँसते हँसते फिर भी जलता जाए
फिर भी जलता जाए
प्रीत के हैं अन्दाज़ निराले
ओ मतवाले ओ मतवाले
मन में किसी की प्रीत बसाले

Another song by Lata in happy mood for Madhubala onscreen was ...

Rootha Hua Chanda Hai- Lata mangeshkar-Prem Dhawan-Anil Biswas

रूठा हुआ चंदा है रूठी हुई चाँदनी 
तुम ही कहो कौन मनाये जी
रूठा हुआ कान्हा है रूठी हुई बाँसुरी 
कैसे कोई गीत सुनाये जी
रूठा हुआ चंदा है रूथी हुई चाँदनी 

प्रीत का सौदा प्रीत से कीजिये 
जैसा दिल लिया है वैसा दिल दीजिये 
जी वैसा दिल दीजिये
दिल तो कुछ और कहे, नैना कुच और ही
कैसे कोई प्रीत निभाये जी 
रूठा हुआ चंदा ...

देखो जी हट गई कारी बदरिया 
चमका है चाँद फिर बाजी बाँसुरिया 
जी बाजी बांसुरिया
दिल से है मान गये, ज़िद है मगर प्यार की
पहले किसे कौन बुलाये जी
