Jaan Pehechaan Ho

[@reubensher8144]

Hard to believe..the song is 56 years old. Only Rafi could have pulled this off...

[@mohammadshah3496]

In 1965, she appeared as a masked dancer in Gumnaam, performing in the song Jaan Pehechan Ho. Laxmi Chhaya, a dancer whose frantic hand-shaking, head-tossing, smiling, and leaping is almost overwhelming in its joie de vivre. Her performance gained a cult following across India and America; it has been regarded as her signature work. India Times Group states: "The enthusiastic dance by Laxmi Chhaya and Herman Benjamin is not something today’s actors will be able to pull off with the same ease and grace." On 9 May 2004, Chhaya died from cancer in Mumbai at the age of 56. Tributes have been published and created in recognition of Chhaya's work in the film industry.

[@badjaycl]

I've watched this frantic yet strangely elegant dance MANY times Mohammad, and it is almost hypnotic! Thank you for your info on Laxmi, she is a performer for the ages, regardless of national culture.

A sad update to be sure. . .This strange video, which I first came across several years ago, never ceased to make me smile. Certainly hate to hear of Ms. Chhaya's demise, but thank you for the update.

[@francisdmello9955]

I think first song composed by Shankar jaikishan with western instrument. Who can forget Mohammed Rafi for the melodious voice. The song was super hit during the 60s and played at every corner of Mumbai during various ceremonies.

[@2244khan]

A trend-setter Rock n Roll Indian style music composed by the greatest of all musicians, Shankarji and an unparalleled performance by Rafi Saab, as usual including the wonderful counter-music(orchestra). The superb choreographer Herman Benjamin (singing in white suit), Laxmi Chayya and the whole choreography was fantastic. May God bless the departed souls of Rafi Saab, Shankarji, Shailendra and all those who passed away. All of the musicians performed manually, no digital stuff was invented at the time, simply unbelievable considering the tremendous arrangement of the orchestra in complete harmony with Rafi Saab's outstanding delivery of the melody ❤️⁩⁦❤️⁩⁦❤❤️⁩❤️❤. ️

[@madhavkopalle]

Absolutely no auto tune days

[@manikdey7012]

Laxmi Chaya overnight became a craze during Gumnaam days ; with this spellbinding song from Rafi sahab. A masterpiece creation from SJ . And what to say about Rafi's mesmerising Hyna like giggles ( Jaikishan said , it is impossible to copy Rafi sahab's Jaan Pehchan Ho ) .

Terrific. SJ's masterpiece. Rafi rocks. Another highlight is Lakshmi Chhaya's dance. But above all it is SJ's orchestra that is the major highlighht. Typical SJ song. Listen to others like "Badan pe sitare" and they all have the SJ stamp. Thanks

[@theseeker4615]

And for those friends who want to enjoy the lyrics along with this awesome music Jaan pehechan ho, We should know each other Jeena aasaan ho, Living would be easy Dil ko churane walon, Those who steal hearts Aankh na churavo, Should not move away Naam tho batavo.. Tell me your name ... Aaj ki yeh shaam javan, The evening is young Yun na chali jaaye, It must not be lost Phir se na aayegi yeh kisi ke bulaaye, It won't come back on anyone's call Jaan pehechan ho We should know each other Bolo yeh na bolo tum, You say it or not Hogaye ishaare, The contact is established Sidi sidi chot huve dil pe hamaare Straight hit to my heart Jaan pehechan ho We should know each other Chup chup dekha dekhi, Quietly staring Nazaren diwani, Our crazy eyes Zara si yeh baat ban jaaye na kahani, This little thing might end up being a story Jaan pehechan ho, We should know each other Jeena aasaan ho, Living would be easy
