TOTW #9: Infidelity - Page 3

Infidelity and betrayal are a part of life just as much as love is. Filmmakers have always been fascinated by adultery because of the range of emotions it explores, the shades of each character it depicts, and most intriguingly, the way it depicts the start of an extramarital affair.

Movie: Saraswatichandra (1968)

Song: Chhod De Saari Duniya Kisi Ke Liye

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar

Music Director: Kalyanji Anandji

Lyricist: Indeevar

ja bewafa ja mujhe na ab yaad aa

Why are so many bewafai songs pictured on Rajesh Khanna? 😆

Spectators at a fair become engrossed by the fantasy in this song and dance about secret communication in public risking exposure of an extramarital affair. The performer, a moll, is adept at signalling secretly in public to her gang of bandits for a surprise attack and a clean getaway.

Song: Karū Nako Punhā Hā Gunhā

Singer: Asha Bhosle

Movie: Pāṭhalāga (1964)

Actor: Bhavana

Lyrics

नको मारूस हाक

मला घरच्यांचा धाक

भर बाजारी करशी खुणा

करू नको पुन्हा हा गुन्हा

Nako mārūsa hāka

Malā gharacyāṃçā dhāka

Bhara bāzārī karaśī khuṇā

Karū nako punhā hā gunhā

Don't call out to me!

I dread my folks at home

You makes signals in a crowded market

Don't commit this crime again

द्वाड सासरचा गाव

माझं जाईल नाव

तू माहेरचा मैतर जुना

Dvāḍa sāsaraçā gāva

Māzhaṃ zāīla nāva

Tū māheraçā maitara zunā

My marital village is nasty

They'll spread my name

You're an old friend from my parental home

का रे भरतोस शीळ

पडे काळजास पीळ

गुज कळेल साऱ्या जना

Kā re bharatosa śīḷa

Paḍe kāḷazāsa pīḷa

Guza kaḷela sāryā janā

Why whistle at me, man?

My heart gets wrung out

Our secret will be known to all people

नको धरूस राग

जरा समजून वाग

तुझ्या डोळ्यांत अवखळपणा

Nako dharūsa rāga

Zarā samazūna vāga

Tujhyā ḍoḷyāṃta avakhaḷapaṇā

Don't sulk about it

Behave a little sensibly

In your eyes there's obvious mischief

लाख लोकांचा हाट

नको अडवूस वाट

धर आवरून आपल्या मना

Lākha lokāṃçā hāṭa

Nako aḍavūsa vāṭa

Dhara āvarūna āpalyā manā

Countless people at market

So, don't block my path

Keep under wraps your eager thoughts

A beautiful ghazal from the movie Arth which was based on infidelity.

Lyrics

मी तर जाते जत्रंला

गाडीचा खोंड बिथरला

बळ नाही घरच्या गणोबाला

कुणीतरी बोलवा दाजीबाला

Mī tara zāte zatraṃlā

Gāḍīçā khoṇḍa bitharalā

Baḷa nāhī gharacyā Gaṇobālā

Kuṇītarī bolavā Dājībālā

Well, I'm going to the fair

My cart's bullock misbehaved

Gaṇobā from home has no strength

Somebody call my brother-in-law!

दाजीबांसारखा दीर दुनियेमध्ये नाही

गोऱ्या भावजयीची त्यांना लई अपूर्वाई

त्यांची बाईल होईल तिची खरी पुण्याई

हेन्द्रट आमच्या नशीबाला

Dājībāṃsārakhā dīra duniyemadhye nāhī

Goryā bhāvazayīcī tyāṃnā laī apūrvāī

Tyāñcī bāīla hoīla ticī kharī puṇyāī

Hendraṭa āmacyā naśībālā

There's no brother-in-law like mine in the world

He's so fascinated by his brother's fair-skinned wife

Whoever his wife will be, she has true pious merit

My luck got me Mr. Clumsy!

दाजीबांचा स्वभाव लई गुलहौशी

सजवतील घोडा सांगितल्यासरशी

मला पुढ्यात घेतील हसून चटदिशी

निघता निघता उशीर झाला

Dājībāṃçā svabhāva laī gulahauśī

Sazavatīla ghoḍā sāṅgitalyāsaraśī

Malā puḍhyāta ghetīla hasūna çaṭadiśī

Nighatā nighatā uśīra zhālā

My brother-in-law's personality is very fun-loving

He'll deck up the horse as soon as I tell him

He'll lift me up in front with a laugh in no time

Leaving, leaving, already late!

दाजीबाम्होर घोड्यावर बसल्याबसल्या

अङ्गाला अङ्ग लागतं अन् होती गुद्गुल्या

बालपणीच्या येती आठवणी फार मागल्या

मी लई भुलते रुबाबाला

Dājībāmhora ghoḍyāvara basalyābasalyā

Aṅgālā aṅga lāgataṃ an hotī gudgulyā

Bālapaṇīcyā yetī āṭhavaṇī phāra māgalyā

Mī laī bhulate rubābālā

On my brother-in-law's horse, as I sit in front

Body touches body and I feel tickles, bringing

Memories of childhood from very far back

I'm very taken by his panache

साजशिणगार केला, ल्याले साखळ्यातोडे

ऐन्याची घातली चोळी अन् जरीचे लुगडे

अशामध्ये असावे संगे दाजीबा तगडे

म्होर मग ठाऊक जोतिबाला

Sāza-śiṇagāra kelā, lyāle sākhaḷyā-toḍe

Ainyācī ghātalī çoḷī an zarīçe lugaḍe

Aśāmadhye asāve saṅge Dājībā tagaḍe

Mhora maga ṭhāūka Jotibālā

Dressed up, made up, wearing anklets, bracelets

Mirror-studded blouse, gold-embroidered nine yards

It's time for my sturdy brother-in-law's company

What's ahead? God Jotibā knows!
