Satyagraha Music Review [Salim-Sulaiman, Aadesh, Meet-Anjjan, Indian Ocean]

Like before.

Prakash Jha is making a multistarrer on a socio-political subject.
Music is taken from many composers.
Aadesh Srivastava is one of them. So are Salim Sulaiman.
One song is taken from something everyone remembers. Vande Mataram to Raghupati Raghav.
There is one item number kinda thing.

Now, the things that don't come under these bullets.

First of all, accolades to Prasoon Joshi for writing magic throughout.

Salim Sulaiman have made Raghupati Raghav Raja Raam really well. After being out of touch for quite some time, their music comes out as good and effective as required. Of course, the base tune comes to their advantage, but the mixing of their own tune with it is not an easy task and they have done it in a way that the overall song sounds powerful.

Shivam Pathak does sound well, but towards the end, he sounds, well, Salim-ish. His energy is good, but he comes a little too much in 'Josh' towards the end. Still, he's not bad.

The next song begins with Shraddha Pandit singing Hamri Atariya pe aiyo balam ji to a nicely self-inspired melody*. She sounds okay here, but Salim-Sulaiman's arrangements seems to have got a little too much of electronica here, and so, despite the nice, slow melody of the song, it doesn't seem to work too well. The song could have been much better if the baansuri in the background was showcased a little more, and the like, if you know what I mean. Won't call this an experiment really as it sounds more like a remix already.

* Tune inspired by: Baawli si preet mori, ab chain kaise paaye, i.e. Rasiya, from Salim-Sulaiman's own Kurbaan. Begins on that note and diverts.

The next song is Aadesh's Ras ke bhare tore nain. I don't know much raagas, but I think this is not the regular thumri that comes in this name. Correct if I'm wrong. Anyway, Shafqat sings it nice, though Arpita's tirkit-dha in the background sounds like extras behind Hrithik Roshan, which here try to come to the front too! Not required really. At a point or two, the song very clearly becomes 'mora piya mose bolat naahi'. Now may be it's due to some raaga or tech thing, but whatever it is, it does remind you of the song. No issues though, as it sounds fine.

Next, Meet Bros Anjjan make a nice song as Janta Rocks, but voila! Did the music remind you of 'Stop That' by Devang Patel? And VERY much like Meri Aan, Meri Shaan, Meri Jaan Hindustan, that theme in Border? Other than that, the song is good, especially the part in Ashok Kumar's Jhumaritalayya style is just lovely.

The next song of the album is probably the best of the lot. Indian Ocean's Hum Bhole The is a passionate composition, well performed and rockingly sung by Rahul Ram, Amit Kilam and Himanshu Joshi. The lyrics and the music just complement each other in the song. Look for the interludes of the song too; lovely music there. In short, it's a must listen.

As such I don't believe in remixes, but Aadesh makes Ras ke bhare tore nain quite interestingly. The way he begins the song gets me attracted, and he's not bad overall. Interestingly, Arpita in background sounds better than in the original version here. It's all in the arrangements.

And may I just miss the atariya remix? It's not too bad, but it's too commonplace. Hence.

Overall, with one superawesome song [Bhole the], one really good song [Raghupati Raghav], one quite good song [Ras ke bhare], and one not bad song [Janta Rocks], Satyagraha is a good album, and does get you some feel of the movie. If you'd like to be a part of Prakash Jha's revolution, you can certainly buy it.

Hum Bhole The Hum Bhaale Hain Lyrics Translation [Satyagraha]

Hum Bhole the is a Rocking rock song composed and performed by Indian Ocean for Satyagraha. The impassioned lyrics of the song are written by the man with a spirited pen, Prasoon Joshi. As for the praise of the song, there are just four words to be said. Do Not Miss It.

Here are the lyrics of the song with Translation. Most of those available on the web until now are wrong. I've tried to get it as right as possible. Still, if there is anything missing, let us know.

Lo mashaalon ko jagaa daala kisee ne
Bhole the ab kar diyaa bhaala kisi ne..

Here, someone has burned the torches..
We were innocent, someone has made us a spear..

[The thing to notice here is that Bhola and bhaala are used together as bhola-bhaala where bhaala doesn't have any meaning and the whole thing means 'innocent' only.]

Hum bhole the, hum bhole the, hum bhole they..
Hum bhole the.. Ab bhaale hain
Hum bhaale hain.. ab aale hain..

We were innocent, we were innocent, we were innocent,
We were innocent, But are spears now..
We're spears, and we've come now..

Hai Sheher ye koyalon kaa ye magar naa bhool jaanaa..
Laal shole ki isee bastee mein rehte hain yugon se..
Raaste mein dhool hai keechad hai par ye yaad rakhnaa
Ye zameen dhulti rahi sankalp waale aansuon se..
Mere aangan ko hai dho daala kisi ne...

This town is that of coals, but don't forget,
We've been living in this street of red fireballs..
There are dust and mud on the way, but remember,
The earth gets washed with the tears of pledge at times,
And someone has washed my yard..

Bewajah ye aag ghar se yoon nikalti hi nahi hai
Toliyaan jatthe bana kar cheekh yoon chalti nahi hai
Raat ko bhi dekhne do aaj tum sooraj ke jalwe
Jab tapegi eent tab hi hosh mein aayenge talwe..
Tod daala maun ka taala kisi ne..

For no reason this fire doesn't come out of home(s)..
And a scream doesn't walk making groups and hordes.
Let night too see the brightness of the sun today,
When the bricks are hot, then only the soles [of feet] will come to themselves..
Someone has broken the lock of silence [that was there on the public's mouths]..

[For Line one of the para: Aag is singular, but here he means all the people, hence it's actually about homes, not one home.]

Hum bhole they.. Ab bhaale hain
Hum bhaale hain.. Hum bhaale hain.. Hum bhaale hain..

रसके भरे तोरे नैन - Raske Bhare Tore Nain (Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan, Satyagraha)

Movie/Album: सत्याग्रह (2013)
Music By: सलीम-सुलैमान
Lyrics By: प्रसून जोशी
Performed By: शफ्कत अमानत अली खान, अर्पिता चक्रबर्ती

रसके भरे तोरे नैन
सांवरिया
तड़पत हूँ दिन रैन
सांवरिया

बिन देखे नहीं चैन
सांवरिया

दर्द जिया का, कासे कहूँ मैं
टीस में कैसे बोलूं
पिया बिना मैं, जोगन जोगन
बन के बावरिया डोलूं
और न कर बेचैन
सांवरिया...
रसके भरे तोरे...

तोरे खातिर से सजाई
खुसबू फुलवा फुलवा
अंग अंग मोरे गंध तेहारी
बहियन झूला झुलवा
हुई सुहागन रैन
सांवरिया
रसके भरे तोरे...

Aara ra ra Janta Rocks Satyagraha Lyrics Translation Explanations

Movie: Satyagraha
Music: Meet Bros Anjjan
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singers: Meet Bros Anjjan, Keerthi Sagathiya

In this song, Janta, Public is replaced by 'Janta Rocks' by the lyricist, but since it makes it difficult to write the meaning, the additional 'rocks' is removed from meanings.

O hilegi kursee dolegaa shaasan
Dag dag dag dag janta rocks
Ab baat karegee janta rocks
Jaag uthee hai janta rocks
Baat karegi jaag uthee..
Ab raaj karegee jantaa hoye..

The chair will stir, the regime will swing,
dag dag dag dag Public Rocks
Now the public will talk,
Now the public has woken up
Will talk, has woken up,
Now the public will rule..

janta rocks..
Ab raaj karegi janta

Chalo ghotaale ki baat karein..
Kuchh dhan kaale ki baat karein..
Bhai ghotaalaa karnaa khel nahi.. Aukaat chaahiye
Ek alag hi kalaa chahiye.. Baat chaahiye

Come let's talk about scams,
Talk a bit about black money,
It's not a game to do a scam, you need some status,
You need a different kind of art, that thing..

Aam aadmi kyaa samjhegaa
Bade logon kee badi baat
un se kahan fursat hai bhaiyaa
From chauka, choolhaa aur daal-bhaat

What will a common man understand
the big thing of big people,
They don't have time free away from
their daily routine problems..

[choolha chauka daal bhaat is literally stove, kitchen, lentils and rice, but idiomatic usage here.]

Aur ye mantri ji ne kalaayi ke prayog se dhan ko mod diya hai. Boundary line ki taraf yahaan koi fielder nahi aur jantaa ke dekhte hi dekhte Swiss bank mein ek aur khaata khulaa. Par hamre ghotaale se tohra ghotaala bada kaise re.. Ji haan, super ghotaale ki chamkaar zyada safed..

[This part makes a parody on cricket matches and famous washing powder advertisements]

And the honorable Minister has diverted the money with the skilled use of wrists [like in cricket]. There is no fielder towards the boundary line, and as people watch, one more account opened in Swiss bank. But how is your scam bigger than mine. Yes, Super scam's shine is whiter.]

Ghotaalaa champ tumhein salaam
Janta kartee tumhein pranaam
Khaamosh rahee hai ab tak par
Ab baat karegee jantaa..

O scam champ, salute to you,
The public bows to you..
It has been quite until now,
But now public will talk..

janta rocks..
Ab raaj karegi janta

Ain't nobody strong to stop us, we're janta
Hum sab saath chalein hum hain jantaa

There's nobody strong enough to stop us, we're the public
We all walk together, we're the public..

Chalo-chalo-chalo sammaan ki baat karein
Kuchh in ki shaan kee baat karein..

Come, let's talk about respect,
talk a bit about their splendor..

Lo gaadi chalee..
Lo batti waalee badi niraalee gaadi chalee..
Lo batti waalee badi niraalee mantri waalee gaadi chalee..
Idhar se udhar, udhar se idhar
Lo traffic ruka
jantaa wala bhola bhaalaa traffic rukaa
Lo janta wala bhola bhaala aam aadmee ka traffic rukaa
Scooter rukaa bike rukee auto taxi bus bhi ruki
Titar se bitar, bitar se titar
Are batti waalon kee yahee hai shaan
Mera Bhaarat pareshaan

[This one is sung in Ashok Kumar's style, like his popular song Jhumaritalayya.]

See the car goes,
See the unique car with [red] light goes,
See the unique, Minister's car with [red] light goes,
From here to there, there to here..
See the traffic stopped,
Public's innocent traffic stopped..
See Public's innocent, common man's traffic stopped..
Scooter stopped, Bike stopped, Auto taxi Bus too stopped..
All got into chaos..
This is the grandeur of those with [red] light
My India is Troubled..

[Mera Bharat Pareshaan is a spoof on famous line Mera Bharat Mahaan, My India is Great.]

Oonchaayi se neeche aao..
Hum se aa kar nazar milaao..
Baith ke dekho tamaashaa
Ab bindaas chalegee janta

Come down from the heights,
Come and meet us in the eye..
Sit and see the drama,
now the Public will walk freely..

janta walks
janta rocks
Ab raaj karegi janta

Chalo.. Sanskaar kee baat karein
Thodaa aachaar ki baat karein
Aachaar ki.. are suno to sahi
Neemboo aam mix panchrangee
Ho gaye fail saare achaar..
Jab se apne desh mein aaya
Achaaron ka achaaar....
Bhrashtaachaar... bhrashtaachaar... bhrashtaachaar...

Come, let's talk about culture,
Talk a bit about behaviour..
Of Achaar, listen for a moment..
Lime, Mango, mixture of five,
All pickles got failed,
since the time we got in our country
Pickle of Pickles,
Corruption.. Corruption.. Corruption

[Aachaar = Behaviour, Achar = Pickle, The lyricist has taken a dig mixing the two. Also, Bhrashtaachaar comes from Bhrasht+Aachaar, i.e. corrupt+behaviour.]

Pehle ik badi si beimaani lijiye. Ab is beimaani ke chhote-chhote tukde kar ke sookhne ke liye daal dijiyega. Phir ik katore mein kameenepan ka tel le ker beimaani ke tukde us mein daal dijiye. Ab is mein milana thoda saa laalach, thodi si haraamkhoree aur achchi tarah se milaa kar iska paste bana leejiye. Bhrashtachaar taiyyar!

[This one is spoken as a pickle's, that is, achaar's recipe, in Nana Patekar's usual style where he speaks non stop, like in Krantiveer.]

First take a big dishonesty. Now divide this dishonesty into small pieces and let it dry. Then taking the oil of villainousness in a bowl, put the pieces of dishonesty into is. Now add to it a little greed, some habit of getting money without doing anything, and mix it well and make a paste. Corruption is ready.

Wahaan takiye mein thoonsaa rupaiyaa
Yahaan pe bhookhee janta maiyaa
Un ki gaayein bhi khaaye badaam
Gale mein rassee mare kisaan
Kholo sansad ke darwaaje
Knock kare hai jantaa khol

There, they cram money into pillows,
here, the public is hungry..
Their cows also eat almonds [for politicians]
And (here) farmers die with rope in neck [they commit suicides]
Open the doors of the parliament,
The public knocks, Open them..

janta knocks
janta rocks
Ab raaj karegi jantaa

Janta rocks.. Janta rocks..

Ras ke Bhare Tore Nain Saanwariya Lyrics Translation [Satyagraha]

Movie: Satyagraha
Music: Aadesh Srivastava
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singers: Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan, Arpita Chakraborty

Saanwariya.. Sawariya..
Sanwariya.. Saawariya..

O dark one, O beloved..

[Saanwariya was used for Lord Krishna lovingly for his dark complexion, for detailed meaning, see THIS POST.]

Ras ke bhare tore nain saanwariya
Ras ke bhare tore nain..

Your eyes are full of sweet syrup,
O beloved, Your eyes are full of sweetness..

Tadpat hoon din rain saanwariya
Tadpat hoon din rain..
Bin dekhe naahi chain saanwariya..
Bin dekhe naahi chain..

I agonize day and night, O beloved,
I agonize day and night for you..
I don't get peace unless I see you, O dear,
I don't get peace unless I see you..

O, ras ke bhare tore nain saawariyaa
Ras ke bhare tohre nain..

Dirkit dha dha dha... Dirkit dha

[notes for Tabla]

Dard jiyaa ka kaase kahoon main
Tees main kaise boloon..
Piyaa binaa main jogan jogan
Ban ke baawariyaa doloon..
Aur na kar bechain saawariya.. Saawariya..

How do I tell you of the pain of my heart,
How do I tell of the stinging in the heart..
Without my beloved I feel like a monk
Going mad, I wander here and there,
Now don't make me further restless, O beloved..

Ras ke bhare tore nain saawariya

Tohri khaatir sej sajaayi
Khushboo phulwaa-phulwaa..
Ang ang more gandh tihaaree
Bahiyaan jhoolaa jhulwaa..
Hui suhaagan rain saawariya..
Hui suhaagan rain..

For you, I have adorned this bed,
Where there is fragrance in every flower..
My entire body is fragrant with your smell,
I swing in your arms..
The night has become a newly-wed, O my beloved..
The night has become a newlywed..

O ras ke bhare tore nain saawariya
Ras ke bhare tore nain

Satyaagraha/Satyagraha Meaning [सत्याग्रह]

[सत्याग्रह] Satyagraha is Hindi-Sanskrit word. this word is combination of Two different [सत्याग्रह] Satya + 'आग्रह' means 'insistence or perseverance' and सत्य means 'Truth'

Thus [सत्याग्रह] Satyagraha means 'Perseverance of Truth'

Satyaagraha or Satyagraha was a term coined by Mahatma Gandhi for his unique way of fighting against llinjustice without being violent. As such the meaning of the word doesn't mention non-violence, still the term is used for non-violent methods of protesting.

Literally, Satyagraha is made of Satya and Aagraha, the former meaning Truth and the latter meaning Request. So the meaning is literally 'Request for Truth'. The aagraha here is also used as insistence, though usually it's not used to that effect, and hence Satyagraha is called Insistence for Truth.

Either way, the word is not just limited to request or insistence for Truth alone, but is used as a way of protesting against any injustice in an active but non-violent way.
