Kagad ho to sab koyi banche karam na bancha jaaye. Is duniya mein bhagya ke aage chale na kisi ka upaaye. Zara samjho re iski sacchayi re. Koi lakh kare chaturayi karam ka lekh mite na re bhai.
Albeit, the number of train journeys I undertake now have greatly diminished, but even today every time I board a train, a certain thrill and excitement grips me. I have a plethora of bitter sweet memories of traveling by trains in India, right from childhood until as recently as this month. Other modes of transports do not nearly compare to the romanticism and the experiences of a long distance train journey. They not only move a behemoth of its peoples, but also reflect a slice of life of the diversity of this land. Kahen manwa dheeraj khota kahen tu nahat roye.Indian Railways are the arteries of the nation.
So, it is no surprise that Hindi films and their music has found a connection with trains. My romanticism primarily stems from these experiences, the sights and sounds of India you experience while watching the landscape unfold as the train rattles on. I have had my fair share of experiences on the many journeys I have embarked on over the years. I am not exaggerating when I say that you can literally find all of life’s emotions and experiences if you travel enough on Indian trains. You share meals, you share stories, you sleep in close quarters to each other, you become a temporary family/society/community. You could say the same about buses and planes, but where trains (especially the second class Indian trains), offer a freedom of movement and interaction with other passengers that cannot be replicated on buses and planes.
The reasons I chose these songs is based on a few criteria (aside from the obvious one that the song has to feature trains), each song meets at least one (if not all) of these:Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Punjabi, Bengali Songs and Videos Online.MP3 Downloads Latest Hindi, Tamil Telugu and Malayalam songs in Real.Sufi Songs, Qawwali, Kirtan, Aarti or Gurbani are all somehow related to Bhajan. This is not an exhaustive list by any means. This blog post is a compilation of songs that feature train travel. The romanticism and the music that trains naturally provide is lost on air travel. This did not automatically translate into more songs being shot on air planes. As air travel became more and more accessible, somehow songs shot in, or on trains became a rarity.
In this post, I talk about 5 songs that made exhortations for a free India before 1947. the song is of high quality: composition/singing/lyrics ORA Radhakant Dev B Shiv Narayan Agnihotri C Gopal Krishna Gokhale D Swami Vivekanand Answer C Explanation: Kavi Pradeep wrote the lyrics of the song Aye Mere. Each have their own range and methods of singing. Traditional Bhajan such as Madhura-bhakti, Vallabhapanthi, Nirguni, Gorakhanathi, Ashtachhap, Sampradya, etc.

Pradeep was perhaps best known for writing the Lata Mangeshkar song that moved.
“Mail” was a designation given to certain trains which carried passengers and also “post” from one city to another. Another trivia about the title of this song, Toofan Mail. Such simplicity to explain life as an ephemeral train journey.
Films and film songs not only are a means of entertainment, but can also be looked at as documentation of a bygone era and this song is a proof of that.1943/Hum chale vatan ki aur/Kashinath/Asit Saran/Pankaj Mullick/Pandit BhushanSuch an upbeat composition from Pankaj Mullick, full of optimism and anticipation. Somewhere the idea of “Toofan Mail” took hold during the pre-independence era and this song immortalized that term. While there is no written record of an actual train by the name of “Toofan Mail”, there however was a train called “Toofan Express”.

She has a whole troupe of musicians with her and the train compartment becomes an intimate performance theater for the man in the suit. The rest of the song is full of extended shots of a dancer entertaining a rich man (a client? a husband? a lover?) to a steady Tabla beat that is imitating the sounds of a train. The camera then gets inside the compartment (which is clearly a studio set) and we see a tabla player, a harmonium player and the feet of a woman tapping to the rat-a-tat rhythm of the train. The song opens with that classic shot of a fast approaching train from the front and the camera pans as the train zooms past it, followed by the beautiful dance of the rail tracks that we all usually see from moving trains.
He got into trouble with one of his first hits from the 1943 movie Kismet – “ Door hato aye duniyawalo Hindustan humaara hai“. Kavi Pradeep was well-known for his passionate nationalistic poetry. As soon as I hear this song even today, it brings back memories of those early childhood days when the airwaves were filled with this and other patriotic songs. You could hear it on Doordarshan, Aakashwani, and on the loudspeakers in most schools.

For example, in this song, the entire compartment is morose. Dekh there sansar ki haalat is composed to a Bhajan like tune, but the words are anything but devotional, in fact it derides religions and the ills of religious strife.Raam ke bhakt raheem ke bande, rachte aaj fareb ke fande Kitane yeh makkar yeh andhe dekh liye inake bhi dhande Inhi ki kaali kartooton se hua yeh mulq masaan kitana badal gaya insaan.A constant theme you may see in the songs shot in trains is that the mood of the song and that of the actors pervades everyone in the compartment. This is the same man who composed the rollicking Shola jo bhadke from Albela and the previously mentioned A ye mere watan ke logon. C Ramchandra is usually not mentioned in the same breath as the other composers of that era (like Naushad or S D Burman), but he was one of the most versatile composers of the 50s.
There is something very pure about the song and the expressions of the lead actors, especially the heroine, played by Jayshree, one of the wives of the great director, V Shantaram.1958/Hai Apana Dil toh Awara/Solwa Saal/Hemant Kumar/S D Burman/Majrooh SultanpuriA lilting melody by the great Sachin Dev Burman shot on Dev Anand and the ethereal Waheeda Rehman. The overall emotion is of a hopeful love and a bright future for the couple singing the song. Somehow, this seems believable that everyone in that compartment partakes in whatever emotions the song is trying to convey through the lead actors.1954/Gaya Andhera/Subah ka Taara/Lata Mangeshkar, Talat Mehmood/C Ramchandra/Noor LucknowiAnother beautiful melody by C Ramchandra sung tenderly by Talat and Lata. I find this interesting, because the chances of this happening in real life are slim to none, but the film makers took the cinematic liberty to shoot train songs in this fashion and really it does not feel forced.
More on the great Majrooh Sultanpuri, later. Majrooh’s words are simple but \profound in expressing the travesties of romantic souls, of those who fall in love like they catch a cold and yet, are unlucky in finding lasting love. The use of mouth organ (which was played by SD’s son Rahul Dev Burman) in the interludes gives it an extempore like quality. Hemant Kumar is usually not associated as the playback voice for Dev Anand, but here his voice and Dev’s flirtatious expressions work very well.
