Mere Dil Ne Jo Maanga"*
T Govindarajan &
S Krishnamoorthy’s 1971 action thriller film *”Rakhwala”* directed by Adurthi Subba Rao.
The film starred Dharmendra, Leena Chadravarkar & Vinod Khanna. They were supported by Madan Puri, Jagdeep & Rakesh Pandey.
Rakhwala was successful movie of year 1971.
This movie has been forgotten by now, but it was a decent movie with great music.
Dharmendra plays Deepak, an honest, hard working son. His family consists of his widowed mother and younger brother Suresh. By luck, he stumbles on a good job, but with the wrong man, Mr. Jwalaprasad. His mother takes his oath to protect his younger brother when on her death bed. She also reveals a family secret about his brothers real identity and missing fortune that is overheard by the dangerous Shyam. Shyam has been plotting against Deepak with Mr. Jawalaprasad since he lost his love, Chandni Jwalaprasad, to him. Through a series of bad events, Suresh is murdered, and Deepak is imprisoned. The film also has a light-hearted side story of a love struck pharmacist and his bosses daughter. There is an abundance of campy seventies beatnik wear and music, plenty of one-on-ten hero fights, and the mandatory twist at the end of the story.
Here is a song that is bound to cheer up its listeners. “Mere dil ne jo maangaa mil gayaa”- what superb lyrics (Hasrat Jaipuri), what lovely music (Kalyanji Anandji) and what beautiful and joyous rendering by Lata.
This song is picturised on Leena Chandawarkar and Dharmendra. In addition to bringing old memories back, this song is a reminder of the days when the quality of music was at its zenith.
*"Mere Dil Ne Jo Maanga"* lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri, composed by Kalyanji Anandji and sung by Lata Mangeshkar🎤🎶🎵🎧
