Which roughly translates to something like “We both dig each other, and our soul is one, even though we are in two separate bodies”, which essentially means that Heer wants to get it on with Ranjha on the charpai.Ĭoming back, not only Noor Jehan had one of her biggest hits in Punjabi with this movie, it was also the debut of a certain Ghulam Ali (apparently). The second verse goes something like thisĭonway Paasay Charihyay Jawani Wali Rut Ve Its interesting how one of the couplets of the song was edited out/censored by the sisters or the PTV producers. Noor Jehan was the real Sasha Fierce! Perhaps she always was (If she can send death squads for Musarrat Nazir, she can do anything!) Also found this clip of Benjamin Sisters singing the same song. Loved the defiance of Noor Jehan, performing without a dupatta covering her head, compared to the woman who introduced her. I found this video of Noor Jehan performing the same song on a PTV show, which was apparently in Zia’s regime in 1980-81. Also, the reason I actually wanted to see the movie was because it has one of my most favourite Punjabi songs EVER!! However, those dialogues hit the sweet spot. The production values weren’t great (which was expected, also I was comparing a shady youtube video with a DVD quality rip), and the characterisations might have needed some more attention. The lead roles were played by Ejaz and Firdous (and yes this movie had a bit of cameo by both Rangeela and Munawwar Zareef). Though the film had a wider appeal, there was something missing, which made me go to the Pakistani Punjabi version.Īs for the Pakistani Heer Ranjha was also released in 1970, coincidentally. For some odd reason, The story of Heer Ranjha is wired to be Punjabi in my head, and I couldn’t imagine the film without the quintessential Heer recitals in Punjabi (A few versions of Heer are available at this fine website Folk Punjab). The second one is another beautiful song, by Mohammad Rafi, when Ranjha is all busy being a wandering Jogi, after Heer is married offĪlthough, the movie was great and very well made and I enjoyed it, I just couldn’t relate to the story vis-a-vis what I was expecting to see.I suppose, the language was the main issue there. It was brilliant! Also, I think I fell for this woman a bit. She’s divine!įirst one, is a beautiful sad song by Lata, when Heer and Ranjha are separated. What bowled me over about this film was that the whole narrative was in couplets. Lets start of the Indian Heer Ranjha, starring Raj Kapoor and Priya Rajvansh, which mostly in Hindi/Urdu. (I’ve realized, that I need more pictures, and less words for these reviews. Tsk Tsk! No wonder I’m jaded about the whole concept of love.ĪNYWAYS…. It is so typical of these eternal love stories. Long story short… eventually gets his Heer, but she dies after she is poisoned by that mofo Kaidoo, and Ranjha then dies as well. How the things have changed! Ranjha goes all cuckoo over it, joins a cult, stalks Heer to her village, emotionally blackmails the shit out of her sister-in-law, gets caught because of his bad planning, and…. Ranjha seduces the girl to submission with his flute but the zaalim samajh (and a particularly annoying and frustrated Uncle of Heer’s, Kaidoo) gets in the way and they wed Heer off to someone who is also landowning, like them. The story basically revolves around this idiotic Dheedo Ranjha guy who falls for this classic village femme fatale from a Jatt family (this calls for some good o’ gandasa fight, no?). So, Heer Ranjha story one of the four sob stories of Punjab, with the work of Waris Shah (1722-1798) being the most famous. I managed to get my hands on the Indian version recently, and watched both these versions back to back.īackground info, for all you unwiki-ed. However, a basic search made me realize that there is a more popular Indian dramatization of the same story, which was also released in 1970 (See, I really don’t know/didn’t care about old Bollywood until recently, and eh sometimes it works for me, sometimes I doesn’t). I wanted to see Heer Ranjha (The Pakistani version i.e.) for a couple of months now, and I managed to find a copy of it on youtube. And I’m not going to argue which movie is better, because generally I’m not THAT capable enough, but mostly I don’t like these comparisons (and also, I don’t top ten lists, and i’ll make a top ten list of things I don’t like one of these days). No, no! I don’t like to start a India-Pakistan thing going on over here.
