Filmy Nostalgia: Today’s generation is like Nora Fatehi and Varun Dhawan. Hi summer… One starts dancing to the song, the temperature starts rising, the thermometer starts breaking, Saiyan ji starts sweating drop by drop… This is the reason why this song became as much a hit as it was in controversies. But believe me, there are many such songs in the films of yesteryear, which have unique descriptions of heat, sweat and the month of June. There is such a sense of humor and romantic feeling in these songs that after watching and listening to them, it seems as if the heat starts running away. There is not even the slightest sense of obscenity, as in Nora Fatehi’s dance and song. Obviously this is a difference of time and season. Surely, when you listen to the lines of these old songs and watch the performances of the artists, you will feel that Nora Fatehi’s intoxicating performances are nothing compared to them.
In fact, in this song sung by Badshah and Neha Kakkar in Street Dancer 3D, there is also talk about running AC i.e. air conditioner but this is not heard within the audience. Heat Creates a raging flame. once upon a time The flame that flares up… The song also came, but there was no ball of fire in it. But Hi summer… Breaks all limits. Such an obscene offering that hardly any music lover would want to watch it. In today’s era, when people are enjoying watching violence that sheds blood and cuts necks, then why wouldn’t this dance and song of Fire Brand also entertain.
This is the month of June, I sweat a lot
It is noteworthy that in our films there has always been less talk about heat but more about sweetness and coolness. Even if sweat was talked about, a song was made – The sweat became a gem… Which expresses the feelings of the working people. similarlyPleasant journey and this season of laughter… Today the weather is very dishonest… The season is of love… or else The month of Saavan is filled with wind…There are many examples which give a feeling of romanticism and coolness. These songs are evergreen in every season.
Come my love, the month of June has come
Heat and violent excitement have always been avoided. For example, listen to this song from the 1960 film Mud Mud Na Dekh. Available on YouTube. The lyrics of the song are in the voice of Asha Bhosle- This is the month of June, I sweat a lot, I die from the heat, take me Shimle Babu…Shimle means Shimla. Helen’s performance on this song is a sight to behold. She fans her hands and blows air on her face and performs a pleasing dance with the group. The entire song is dedicated to summer.
Similarly, there was the 1970 film – Awaaz. Jitendra and Leena Chandavarkar were the lead actors in this film. Along with them were Ashok Kumar and Meena Kumari. But the song we are mentioning was filmed on Mehmood and Aruna Irani. There was a sense of humor here too. The lyrics of the song are – Come my love, the month of June has come… Under the music direction of Laxmikant-Pyarelal, this song was sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle.
The filming of this song was amazing. Comedians Mehmood and Aruna Irani are troubled by the heat of June. To escape the heat, both of them go near the well. And they sing this song while feeling the coolness. Obviously the main purpose of the song is to create a sense of humor. But the most beautiful thing is that after watching these songs, there is never a feeling of heat or excitement. You can enjoy the taste with a sense of humor.
Amitabh also sang – May-June is a month full of colors
It is noteworthy that Barhamasa has a prominent place in our traditional songs. There is a unique description of every season and the perennial which affects the mood of a person according to that season. Even if we do not discuss folk songs now, you will remember the song from the film Sindoor- Autumn, monsoon, spring, spring… there are four seasons in a year… This song was also quite popular in its time.
In this sequence, everyone will definitely remember this song from Amitabh Bachchan’s film Pukar- Don’t go to your mother’s house… don’t go my love… It was a kind of filmy perennial. This song was sung by Amitabh Bachchan himself. The composer was- RD Burman. This song described the period from January to December. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan sings-When the month of June comes full of colours, I see your muslin kurta makes me sweat…
Poor metaphor of perennial in films
This song from the movie Pukar is also a mixed metaphor of humor and beauty. This can be called the beginning of the end of decency in songs related to weather. Obviously, when decency ends in any offering, obscenity also starts from there. When the controversial song in Govinda and Karisma Kapoor’s film Raja Babu Sarkay leo khatia winter When I came there too, there was mention of heat and sweat – sweat dripping on the forehead in summer etc etc…
This was the worst metaphor of the films Barhamasa. Certainly, after the era of eighties and nineties, the depiction of weather in popular film songs started becoming more provocative. Whose explosion was in Varun Dhawan and Nora Fatehi’s ‘Hi Garmi’. But as quickly as it became a hit, people forgot it.
