Pukarta Chala Hoon Main
Song By Mohd. Rafi
Movie : Mere Sanam (1965)
This song is picturised possibly on the Jammu-Srinagar Highway. The road lined up with trees on both sides, mountains in the background. A group of girls on bicycles and The hero Vishwajeet in an open jeep. The opening of the song with guitars, mandolin, santoor, triangle ghantis, surmandal...all these are blended beautifully to create melody out of the bicycle bells sounds, the santoor covering the beautiful background landscapes.
This is one song where Rafi saab is made to sing without using any harkats. he has sung just the chords, flat. Possibly because the hero/actor had less expression than the erstwhile Shammi Kapoorsaab or Johnny Walkersaab. That Rafisaab has managed to create melody without using harkats and the fact that this song is a huge hit even today and appeals to all generations, speaks volumes for both the composer and singer.
The use of light/heavy sitar/sarod to signify "ghata utar ke aa gayi zameen pe" and the single chords played by the flute in the lead are noteworthy. The claps at the end of the song are used in two tones? Add life to the song even while parting? Great detailing, superb balance!
A very unique and rare composition/singing, which is also very popular. Hats off to Nayyarsaab for demanding flat singing from rafisaab, without compromising on melody and to Rafisaab for obliging.
Happy Listening !
