V. Shantaram’s most popular film ‘Pinjra‘ was released in 1972. But, the songs of this film are still popular. Even the performances of lead characters like Dr. Shreeram Lagoo, Sandhya & Nilu Phule are still fresh in our memory.  The film has been set on the backdrop of  a village, presenting Tamasha folk musical theatre of Maharashtra.  The story revolves around  a morally righteousness school teacher, played by Dr. Lagoo, who wants to reform a Tamasha performer, played Sandhya, but ends up falling in love with her.

Mi yekalich nijale, raatichya andharat
nako tithach padala, avachit maza haat
hataakhalati nangi kadhun, vairin ti basali

sanga hi kal kasali

sanga gharat firale bai ga
mala oushid gaval nahi ga
tavar kunachi chahul aali
khun khunela patali

hya ingalicha kalala inga
khulyavani mi ghatala pinga
mantar ghala halaha
naar chukun phasali

Singer: Sudhir Phadake

Dahaa dishnni, dahaa mukhanni. aaj fodila taho,
aasvant ya bhijali gatha, shrote ekaa ho !

mazya kalajachi taar aaj chhedali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

gangevani nirmal hota, asa ek gaav
sukhi samadhani hota, rank aani raav
tyachi gungairavan kirti vadhali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

asha gaavi hota ek bhola bhagyvant
punyavan mhanati tyala, kuni mhane sant
tyala eka menkechi drushti lagali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

satvashil charitryachi ghalmel zali
gaavasathi nartakila, nadipar keli
naar sud bhavanena, ubhi petali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

pisalalelya naginine thaythayat kela
nachganyasathi sara gaav yeda zala
tyanni laaj bhid niti saari sodali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

jaab vicharaya gela, tine kela daav
bhovryat shrungarachya sapadali naav
tyachya patangachi dori tine todali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

khulya jiva kalalaa nahi, khota ticha khel
tapobhang zala tyacha pura jai tol
tyala kutra manjarachi dasha aanali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

janmabhari fasagat zali ticha ha tamasha
juluniya geli aataa jagayachi aasha
aaj hundakyan bhiravi mi gayali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

yachi dehi yachi dola pahile maran
mich mazya hati deva rachile saran
mazya karma sohalyachi yatra chalali
kashi nashibane thatta aaj mandali !

Singer: Usha Mangeshkar

Ava he gaav layi nyar, hith thand gaar vaara
yala garam shingar sosana
hyacha aadhashacha tora, hyacha kagad hay kora
hita shahiri lekhani pochana
hita varan bhatachi godi ra, nako fukat chedchedi ra
ara songa dhongacha bajar hithala, salsud ghalatoy alimili
an sara varapati, rasaa bhurakati, gharat poli an bhayer nali ra …

aga chatak chandani, chatur kamini
kay mhanu tula tu hayes tari kon

chhabidar chhabi mi toryat ubhi, jashi chandani chamcham nabhi
ava dajiba, gavat hoyil shobha, he vagan bar navha

navatich raan he bhavtin, firat aale mi gamatin
bandhavaran chalu kashi, patalag hyo talu kashi
ara laajmodya, bhaltyach karatoyas khodya, he vagan bar navhe

mirachicha tora mi karate ra, vatyat yevaj bharate ra
padar maza dharatos kasa, bhavatin mazya firatos kasa
ara battsha, kashila pilatos misha, he vagan bara navha

hiravi shet darvalali, tapori kanas moharali
shil ghaluni karatos khuna, ghadighadi ha chavatpana
ara marda, abrucha hoyil khurda, he vagan bar navha

Song: Kisanane Bhulavilya
Singer: Lata Mangeshakar

Aho aikaa chatura adhyatmachi kahani
kisanane bhulavilya yamunevar gaulani

Ain dupari gaulan nari aalya yamunevar
khushal sodun dilya jalavar nakshichya ghagari
vasane sutali alagad padali olya kathivari
tumakat gopi jalat shiralya uthali ka shirshiri

Gopi nahanyat hotya dang
toch aala sakha shrirang
gola karun vastre sari
basala chadhun kalambavari

Nako nyahalu nital kaya oleti ughadi
de re kanha, choli an lugadi

Balpanichi allad nati
malaa kavalile tu ekanti
ajun ka tuj tya khelachya, chhandachi aavadi ?

Ain vayachi kimaya sari
lajvanti mi bholi bhabadi
kashi yeu mi kathavarati, madanachi laladi ?

Tuch dili hi yauvankanti
kashi lochane aatur hoti
dehahun hi mukta bhavana, sharanagat bapudi !

Haat jodita bandhan tutale
ata jivala mipan kuthale ?
aatmyane janu parmaatmyala, arpun keli kudi !
