In old days the Indian Censor Board was in habit of damaging and even canabalising film songs very mercilessly . Even the movie makers used to deshape or damage their own songs . The result is that now most of the forums or sites contain the same damaged songs uploaded by the members . This is because most of the members use SOUND TRACKS of the movie . I produce below some examples ( 1 ) Take the song JAADUGAR SAINYA CHHOD MORI BAHINYA from the film NAGIN ( 1955 ) . The original song which was marketted in 78 rpm record contained the following lines ' Jaadugar sainya chhod mori bahinya ho gai aadhi raat ab ghar jaane do , feeka feeka kajara toota hua gajara kah dega saari baat ab ghar jaane do .' Where ever this song has now been uploaded , the second line is missing in the song . ( 2 ) The famous song of the film MANZIL ( 1960 ) sung by Manna Dey HATO KAAHE KO JHOOTHI BANAAO BATIYAN is another victim . The original , 78 rpm version of the song is like this : - ' Ban sanwar kar ghar se nikle sair ko jaane lage , jab mili mujhse nazar jhoothi qasam khaane lage , arey hato , kahe ko jhoothi banaao batiyan hato kahe ko jhoothi ,... Ye udi udi si rangat ye khule khule se gesu , teri subah kah rahi hai teri raat ka fasaana ,dekho ji kisi ka pyar hum se naa chhupaao , sab humen pata hai pyare , nain naa jhukaao , wahin jaao jahan pe bitaai ratiyan ,hato kahe ko ......' The song we find now starts with the line ' Gair ka saath hai ... ... ...' which is actually the third stanza . ( 3 ) The old movie TAXI DRIVER has a comedy song CHAAHE KOI KHUSH HO CHAAHE GAALIYAN HAZAR DE . The 78 rpm version has it's first stanza like this ' Pee ke dhaandhli karun to mujhko jail bhej do , soonghne men kya hai ye jawaab thaanedaar de ....' The song now available on the sites does not have the line - Soonghne men... ... ... . ( 4 ) The film DHOOL KA PHOOL has a beautiful duet JHUKTI GHATA GAATI HAWA SAPNE JAGAAE . It's 78 rpm record has the following lines ' Rawaan hai chhoti si kashti hawaaon ke rukh par , nadi ke saaz pe mallah geet gaata hai , tumhara jism har ek lahar ke jhakole se meri khuli hui baanhon men jhool jaata hai ...' . The song we find on these sites now has a changed line . ( 5 ) The famous qawwali of the film SADHNA -- AAJ KYON HUM SE PARADA HAI was also victimized . It's 78 rpm version contains the following lines ' Tera har rang humne dekha hai , tera har dhang humne dekha hai , haath khele hain teri zulfon se , aankh waaqif hai tere jalwon se .' The song uploaded on the sites has no lines like ' Haath khele hai.... ....' ( 6 ) One of the ever best songs of Lata mangeshkar comes from the film NAUBAHAAR --- ' UNKE BULAWE PE DOLE MERA DIL , JAAUN TO MUSHKIL NA JAAUN TO MUSHKIL . The 78 rpm version has a different prelude than what is available in the song we find on the sites. Not only this , unnecessary dialogues have been incorporated superimposed over the song , which destroys the unbeatable melody of this song .. The list of such songs is very long . What I want to prey to all the members of all the forums and sites that it is quite O.K. to upload sountracks but it would be far more in the interest of all other fellow members if the 78 rpm version is also uploaded along with the sound track , of cource if the 78 rpm record of that song is available to the uploading members . Thanks for sparing so much time to go through this blog .
