The song which was rejected repeatedly, later became the biggest identity of Raj Kapoor’s film.

New Delhi . In the history of Hindi cinema, there have been many songs which have created their own identity with time and have made a place in the hearts of people for generations. But the journey of some songs was not easy. There was one such famous song which was rejected several times by the Censor Board as obscene. Not only this, this song was removed from two films, but later when it was heard on the big screen, it became immortal forever. Even today, this song automatically comes to people’s tongue during the rainy season.

This story takes place in the 1950s, when the famous music composer duo Kalyanji-Anandji was trying to make a mark in the industry. At that time he was composing music for a film. The film was almost completed and sent for censor certificate. Meanwhile, the Censor Board objected to some lyrics of a song in the film. The board believed that the words of the song were not appropriate according to the social atmosphere of that time.

The release of the film was near and the song had already been shot. In such a situation, the producers decided to remove that song from the film to avoid controversy. However, the musician duo had full confidence in their song. He felt that there was something special in this tune and its lyrics which the audience would definitely like. This was the reason why he decided to use that song in some other film instead of leaving it out completely.

After some time, an attempt was made to include this song in another film, but things did not work out there either. This song did not fit the story and atmosphere of the film. Then it was narrated in another film, but the director did not accept it. The producers and directors did not want to take any risks due to objections from the censor board. Even after being out of two consecutive films, the musicians continued to have faith in this song.

After this, preparations for a new film began in which Raj Kapoor and Nutan were in the lead roles. The story of the film was based on the backdrop of emotions and partition. The film required a rain song that could instantly attract the audience. Meanwhile, the musicians played their same old rejected song to the director. This time, as soon as everyone heard the song, everyone liked its tune very much. However, keeping in mind the old objections of the Censor Board, some lyrics of the song were changed. The lyricist was called again and the lyrics were rewritten and the song was re-recorded.

But the difficulties did not end here. When the film again reached the Censor Board, objections were raised on some lyrics. Once again changes were made to the song. Finally, after many changes and hard work, this song was included in the film.

That song was ‘Dum Dum Diga Diga, Mausam Bheega Bheega’. As soon as it was released, this song became popular among the people. This song, filmed on Raj Kapoor and Nutan, became one of the most popular songs of Baarish. Even today, after decades, people’s faces light up when they hear this song and memories of old times become fresh. This is the reason why this song, which was once rejected, is today counted among the most immortal songs of Hindi cinema.
