That song by Lata Mangeshkar, the director lifted ‘shoe’ after listening, today is a favorite of crores of people

New Delhi: When the best songs are discussed by Lata Mangeshkar, then that memorable song is definitely mentioned. This is a classic song of the 1964 classic film ‘Woh Kaun Thi’. It is a romantic, but painful song. Today it is a favorite of crores of people, but when work was going on, director Raj Khosla did not like it. Music composer Madan Mohan then enlisted the help of filmstar Manoj Kumar, who persuaded the director to bring the song to the film.

When Raj Khosla heard Lata Mangeshkar’s song again, he lifted the shoe to kill himself. This story is stated in the director’s autobiography ‘Raj Khosla: The Authorized Biography’, which was released on 20 May before the 100th birth anniversary of the filmmaker. In the book, it is written as saying Manoj Kumar, ‘I received a call from Madan Mohan one day. Madan said- Raj Khosla’s mind has deteriorated. He narrated a song that he did not like. You come and handle it.

Manoj Kumar’s understanding of work
Manoj Kumar had not heard the song yet, so he was hesitant to say. Eventually the film was from Raj Khosla. He decided to talk to producer NN Sippy on the matter. NN Sippy agreed with the opinion of the music director. There were only a few days left in the shooting and the song was not yet finalized. What should be done? NN Sippy also wanted to contact Manoj Kumar Raj Khosla and resolve it. When the musician narrated the song to Manoj Kumar, he agreed to intervene.

The director had never heard such a tune
Manoj Kumar described the song as great. He was surprised how Raj Khosla could deny it who came with the dream of becoming a playback singer in the film industry and was one of those who appreciated good music, but he did not like this song. Raj Khosla agreed to hear it again after Manoj Kumar’s repeated saying, but in the end he described the song as bad. However, after listening to it again, the filmmaker was shocked. He admitted that it was one of the best tunes he had ever heard.

Madan Mohan gave the song tune
What Raj Khosla said in the end is mentioned in the book. Raj Khosla said, ‘What a stupidity of me.’ According to Manoj Kumar, Raj also lifted his shoe to kill himself. Lata Mangeshkar described ‘Lag Ja Gar’ as one of her six favorite songs. It has been viewed more than 277 million times on YouTube. Madan Mohan gave the song a great tune, which directly touches the soul. Lata Mangeshkar did full justice to it. Mangeshkar quoted Mangeshkar as saying, ‘When we recorded the song, everyone was happy with it. Raj Khosla liked it very much. We were all satisfied. After the recording was over, Madan Bhaiya came and hugged me and started crying. Song, created history.
