Banke Panchhi was the only song on the soundtrack of Anari (1959) that Hasrat Jaipuri penned.
The track, which
was three minutes and 35 seconds long, could be translated to, “I would become a
bird and sing a song of love, if I found a carefree companion.”
It was composed
by Shankar Jaikishan, who bagged the Filmfare Best Music Director Award in
1960. The accolade was the duo’s second.
Lata Mangeshkar
rendered the song, which was picturised on Nutan, whose name means new. It was
apt, because her pairing with Raj Kapoor was fresh then.
