The song "Mora Gora Ang Lai Le" is surrounded by amazing stories, especially concerning its legendary creators.

Here are some interesting facts about the song, the film Bandini (1963), and the icons involved:

Gulzar's Film Debut

  • Gulzar's First Film Song: "Mora Gora Ang Lai Le" is officially the first song penned by the legendary lyricist and director Gulzar for a Hindi film. This single song launched a career that would redefine Indian cinema poetry.

  • Initial Refusal: Gulzar was working as a car mechanic and a poet at the time. When he was asked by the legendary director Bimal Roy to write a song, Gulzar initially refused, saying he didn't want to become a commercial film lyricist. He only relented after Bimal Roy and S.D. Burman convinced him.

  • The Power of Poetry: The line "Mora gora ang lai le, mohe shyaam rang dai de, chhoop jaaoongi raat hi mein, mohe pee ka sang dai de" (Take my fair complexion and give me a dark color, so I can hide in the night and meet my beloved) is a metaphorical masterpiece, subtly expressing a young woman's desire and urgency to meet her lover by merging with the darkness.

The S.D. Burman - Lata Mangeshkar Reunion

  • A Historic Truce: This song is highly significant because it marked the end of a six-year feud between composer S.D. Burman and singer Lata Mangeshkar. They had not worked together since 1957.

  • Dada's Initiative: S.D. Burman wanted only Lata to sing this delicate melody. The success of this song paved the way for their magnificent future collaborations in films like Guide, Jewel Thief, and Aradhana.

Facts About the Film Bandini

  • Bimal Roy's Masterpiece: Bandini is considered one of the greatest masterpieces by director Bimal Roy, a stalwart of realistic and social cinema. It tells the story of Kalyani (Nutan), a woman serving a life sentence for murder.

  • Sweeping Success: The film won a phenomenal six Filmfare Awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Bimal Roy), and Best Actress (Nutan).

  • Nutan's Performance: Nutan's portrayal of Kalyani is widely regarded as one of the best performances by an actress in Hindi cinema history. The director waited two years for Nutan to return to acting after she became pregnant, highlighting his faith in her for the role.

  • Literary Source: The film is based on the Bengali novel Tamasi by Jarasandha (the pen name of Charu Chandra Chakrabarti), who wrote stories based on his experiences as a jail superintendent.
