Songs: From the Jackie Shroff Movie 'Gardish'

In 1993, Priyadarshan made a movie called Gardish that starred the cast of Jackie Shroff, Amrish Puri, Dimple Kapadia, and Aishwarya (a different one). The movie was a remake of the 1989 Malayalam blockbuster, Kireedam. It provided Jackie Shroff a good platform with a very strong role, that caused him to display a lot of emotions. In my opinion, he did a very good role. Music Director was R D Burman, and lyrics were by Javed Akhtar.
The role was simple, he did the role of the son of a police constable (Amrish Puri), and his father wants him to join the police force as an inspector. One of the requirements is that he should not have a case against him. One day, Jackie finds his father being beaten up by the local goonda Mukesh Rishi, and intervenes. Even though he does not want it, he gets a reputation of being the goonda, and soon his father throws him out of the house. He is very desperate, and in great despair. At this time, his lady love also gets married and Dimple gives him some support.
The climax of the movie is when his sister gets kidnapped by Mukesh Rishi, and then his father delivers him to Mukesh Rishi and tells Jackie not to fight back. However, as Jackie is getting beaten to a pulp, his father is unable to take it and tells him to fight back. Jackie fights back and eventually kills him. At this stage, he confronts his father as to when Amrish Puri could not take Jackie getting beaten, how could Jackie earlier take Amrish Puri getting beaten. He is taken away by the police, his dreams in tatters.

Song: Hum Na Samjhe The (sung by S P Balasubramaniam)



Lyrics:

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si
khaab sheeshe ke
duniya paththar ki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si
khaab sheeshe ke
duniya paththar ki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si

Aarzoo humne ki to hum paae
Aarzoo humne ki to hum paae
roshni saath laai thi saaye
saaye gehre the
roshni halki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si
khaab sheeshe ke
duniya paththar ki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si

Sirf veeranee sirf tanhayee
sirf veeranee sirf tanhayee
zindahi humko ye kahan laayee?
kho gayi humse raah manzil ki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si
khaab sheeshe ke
duniya paththar ki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si

kya koi beche kya koi baante
kya koi beche kya koi baante
apne daaman mein sirf hain kaante
aur dukanein hain sirf phoolon ki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si
khaab sheeshe ke
duniya paththar ki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si
khaab sheeshe ke
duniya paththar ki

Hum na samjhe the
baat itni si...

Song: Yeh Mera Dil to Pagal Hain
