Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam - Drama about a triangle

What can one say about this movie ? I really liked this movie, although the huge number of songs got to me sometime in the middle. The movie is a sensitive portrayal of the triangle, with the girl in the middle, and you see how her emotions slowly change as she gets to know the person to whom she is married to. The movie was a big hit for Sanjay Leela Bhansali, since his earlier movie, Khamoshi, was a critical success, but did not do too well at the box office. The success of Hum Dil De Chukhe Hain Sanam propelled Sanjay Leela Bhansali into the big league, and encouraged him to make his mega opus, Devdas. HDDCS also gave a big boost to the career and reputation of its heroine, Aishwarya Rai. Before this, Aishwarya did not have a great reputation an a star who could emote well, and a role where she had an opportunity to show a range of emotions was something that she would have welcomed. The success of the movie gave her reputation a big boost, something that her male stars (Salman Khan and Ajay Devgun) did not get to the same extent.

Hum Dil De Chukhe Hain Sanam (HDDCS), starring Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Ajay Devgun, and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali

The movie is about a unique triangle. Aishwarya lives in a joint family in the Rann of Kutch, one which is very musically inclined as her father is a famed classical musical Pandit, and at the same time, protective of their honour. Aishwarya is the favorite daughter of her father, who is strict otherwise. And then comes in Salman Khan to their mansion, to learn music from her father. He has come all the way from Italy for this purpose. Initially, Nandini (Aishwarya) does not like Salman, also because she had to give up her room for him, and they play a lot of pranks on each other.
But, as you would expect, soon they start to love each other, fairly deeply. For some time, this love is hidden, but at one point, her father, Pandit Darbar (Vikram Gokhale) finds out about this love affair. He is not the least bit supportive, and asks Salman to leave (his gift to his teacher), and orders Nandini to forget Salman, as she is to marry other. And then Nandini is married off to Vanraj (Ajay Devgun); Vanraj had seen Nandini at a function and fell in love with her. However, immediately after the marriage, Vanraj gets to know about the love that Nandini had for Sameer (Salman Khan) and promises to take her to Italy to be with Sameer (after the initial anger).
They arrive in Italy, and as you might expect, searching for a person in a different country is not easy; they run into various issues, getting robbed once, and Nandini gets shot during the attempt. Vanraj takes care of her when she is in hospital, and slowly Nandini starts to start seeing Vanraj for the caring and loving person he is.
Eventually they find Sameer through his mother (Helen), and when Salman finds out, he is overjoyed. It is at this time that Nandini has to decide, is she still in love with Sameer, or is she now conscious of her role as Vanraj's wife, and now in love with him ?

Mujhko Saza Di Pyaar Ki Aisa Kya Gunaah Kiya
To Lut Gaye Haan Lut Gaye
To Lut Gaye Hum Teri Mohabbat Mein

Agar Mile Khuda To
Poochhoonga Khudaya
Jism Mujhe Deke Mitti Ka
Sheeshay Sa Dil Kyon Banaya
Aur Us Pe Diya Fitrat
Ke Woh Karta Hai Mohabbat
Wah Re Wah Teri Kudrat
Wah Re Wah Teri Kudrat Us Pe De Diya Kismat
Kabhi Hai Milan Kabhi Furqat
Kabhi Hai Milan Kabhi Furqat Hai Yehi Kya Vo Mohabbat
Wah Re Wah Teri Kudrat
Sisak Sisakke Is Dil Se Aah Nikalti Rahi Hai
Mujhko Saza Di Pyaar Ki Aisa Kya Gunaah Kiya

Tadap Tadapke Is Dil Se Aah Nikalti Rahi Hai
Mujhko Saza Di pyaar Ki Aisa Kya Gunaah Kiya
To Lut Gaye Haan Lut Gaye
To Lut Gaye Hum Teri Mohabbat Mein

Ankhon ki gustakhiyan maaf ho

Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan
Maaf Hon
O Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan
Maaf Hon
Ek Tuk Tumhein Dekhti Hain
Jo Baat Kehna Chaahe Zubaan Tumse Vo Ye Kehti Hain

Aankhon Ki Sharmohaya
Maaf Ho
Tumhein Dekhke Jhukti Hain
Uthi Aankhein Jo Baat Na Keh Sakin
Jhuki Aankhein Vo Kehti Hain

Aankhon Ki
Aankhon Ki
Gustakhiyaan

Kaajal Ka Ek Til Tumhare Labhon Pe Laga Loon
La la la..
Haan Chanda Aur Suraj Ki Nazron Se Tumko Bacha Loon
Hmmm..
Oh Palkhon Ki Chilman Mein Aao Main Tumko Chhupa Loon
Aa..
Khayaalon Ki Ye Shokhiyaan
Maaf Hon
Har Dam Tumhein Sochti Hain
Jab Hosh Mein Hota Hai Jahan Madhosh Ye Krti Hain

Aankhon Ki Sharmohaya
Maaf Ho

Ye Zindagi Aapki Hi Amaanat Rahegi
Ay Hey
Dil Mein Sada Aapki Hi Mohabbat Rahegi
Ay Hey
In Saanson Ko Aapki Hi Zaroorat Rahegi
Is Dil Ki Naadaniyaan
Maaf Hon
Ye Mere Kahan Sunti Hain
Ye Pal Pal Jo Hote Hain Bepal Sanam To sapne Naye Bunti Hain

Aankhon Ki
Aankhon Ki
Gustakhiyaan
Maaf Hon

Jhokaa Hawa Ka

Jhonka Hawa Ka Aaj Bhi, Julfein Udaata Hoga Na,
Tera Dupatta Aaj Bhi Tere, Sar Se Sarakta Hoga Na,
Baalon Mein Tere Aaj Bhi, Phool Koi Sajta Hoga Na,
Thandi Hawayein Raaton Mein Tujhko, Thapkiyaan Deti Hongi Na
Chaand Ki Thandak Kwabon Mein Tujhko, Le Ke Toh Jaati Hogi Na,
Sooraj Ki Kirnen Subah Ko Teri Needien Udaati Hogi Na,
Mere Khayalon Mein Sanam, Khud Se hi Baatein Karti Hogi Na,
Main Dekhta Hoon Chup Chup Ke Tumko, Mehasoos Karti Hogi Na,
Jhonka Hawa Aaj Bhi Julfein Udaata Hoga Na

Tadeva Lagnam
Kagaz Pe Meri, Tasveer Jaisi Kuch Toh Banati Hogi Na,
Ulat Palat Ke, Dekh Ke Usko Jee Bhar Ke Hansti Hogi Na,
Hanste Hanste Aankhen Tumhari, Bhar Bhar Aati Hongien Na,
Mujhko Dhaka Tha, Dhoop Mein Jis Se, Woh Aanchal Bhigoti Hogi Na,
Saawan Ki Rimjhim Mera Tarana, Yaad Dilati Hogi Na,
Ik Ik Meri Baatein Tumko Yaad Toh Aati Hongein Na,
Yaad Toh Aati Hogi Na, Yaad Toh Aati Hogi Na,
Kya Tum Mere In Sab Sawalon Ka Kuch Toh Jawab Dogi Na

Ijaazat (1987) - a great musical emotional story

Ijaazat means permission, and the name of the movie is based on the concept of the heroine having taking a drastic step without consulting with her husband, something that she would regret later. The movie is a very well regarded movie, based on alternative cinema. The movie is also very well known for its songs (shown later in this post), and is also distinctive that the movie gave a chance for Asha Bhosle to showcase her quite tremendous singing talents, since she sang the 4 main songs of the movie. These songs are all incredibly famous, and regarded as excellent songs both in terms of music and lyrics. The music of the film won 2 national awards. The movie did give a boost to the reputations of both Naseeruddin Shah and Rekha, although the commercial success of such a movie is always debatable. The movie was directed by Gulzar (also the lyrics, screenplay and dialogues), with music by RD Burman.

Ijaazat, movie made by Gulzar, with music by RD Burman and sung by Asha Bhosle, starring Naseeruddin Shah, Rekha, and Anuradha Patel

1988 - National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer: Asha Bhosle - Mera Kuch Samaan
1988 - National Film Award for Best Lyrics: Gulzar - Mera Kuch Samaan
1989 - Filmfare Best Lyricist Award: Gulzar

The movie works in mostly flashback mode. Mahinder (Naseeruddin Shah), on a stormy night, gets into a train waiting room; a lady sitting in the waiting room tries to avoid being seen, but eventually they meet. The lady is Sudha (Rekha), and when they see each other, the flashback starts. They were married to each other earlier, but that relationship broke because of the presence of another girl in Mahinder's life.
Mahinder used to love a girl called Maya (Anuradha Patel), a free living feminist. However, it was impossible for Mahinder to marry her since his grandfather (Shammi Kapoor) would never have allowed this. His grandfather had found Sudha, a school teacher, for him, and even though the engagement has stretched to 5 years, it was pretty clear that the marriage could happen anytime. This was something that Mahinder told Sudha about as well, with the understanding that Maya would never come between them. However, it seemed to Sudha that Maya had such an important part in Mahinder's life that her presence was always there.
The situation escalates, till there is a time when Sudha feels that Mahinder has deserted her for Maya and she laves without telling Mahinder. In the meantime, when Mahinder gets to know, he suffers a heart attack, with Maya taking care of him. Soon after, Maya dies when her scarf gets entangled in the wheel of the motorcycle that she was driving. In the present time, when Sudha gets to know these events, she is shocked, since it would seem to be that she had left without ascertaining the complete facts, and this had changed her life. And then her husband, Shashi Kapoor comes in, and she leaves with him, this time taking the permission (Ijaazat) of Mahinder, unlike the previous time.

Lyrics:

katra katra milti hai
katra katra jeene do
zindgi hai, bahne do
pyaasi hoon main pyasi rahne do

Tumne to aakash bichhaya
mere nange pairo main zameen hai
dekhe to tumhaari aarzoo hai
shayad aisi zindagi haseen hai
aarzoo main bahne do
pyaasi hoon main pyaasi rahne do ...

Mera kuch saamaan tumhare paas pada hai -2
o o o ! saavan ke kuch bheege bheege din rakhe hain
aur mere ik khat main lipti raat padi hai
vo raat bhulaa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2
mera kuch saamaan tumhaare paas pada hai - 2

patjhad hai kcuh ... hai na ?
o ! patjhas main kuch patton ke girne kee aahat
kaanon main ek baar pahan ke laut aai thee
patajhad kee vo saakh abhi tak kaanp rahi hai
vo saakh gira do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2

ek akeli chhataree main jab aadhe aadhe bheeg rahe the - 2
aadhe sookhe aadhe geele, sukha to main le aaye thee
geela man shayad bistar ke paas pada ho
vo bhijwa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do

ek so sola chaand ki ratain ek tumhare kaandhe ka til - 2
geeli mahendi ki khushbu, jhoot mooth ke shikwe kuch
jhooth mooth ke wade sab yaad karaa do
sab bhijwa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2

ek ijaazat de do bas, jab isako dafanaaungee
main bhi vaheen so jaungee
main bhi vaheen so jaungee

--------------

Chhotee see kahaanee se, baareeshon kee paanee se
saaree waadee bhar gayee,
naa jaane kyo, dil bhar gayaa,
naa jaane kyo, aankh bhar gayee

shaakho pe patte the,patton pe boonde thee
boondo mein paanee thaa,paanee mein aansoo the

dil mein geele bhee the,pahale mile bhee the
milake paraaye the,do humasaaye the

----------------

khaalee haath shaam aayee hai, khaalee haath jaayegee
aaj bhee naa aayaa koee, khaalee laut jaayegee

aaj bhee naa aaye aansoo, aaj bhee naa bheege nainaa
aaj bhee ye koree rainaa, koree laut jaayegee

raat kee siyaahee koee, aaye to mitaye naa
aaj naa mitaayee to ye, kal bhee laut aayegee
