Many thanks for the great kindness you have shown Who is wearing more make-up here? Joy or Sadhana? 🙂 Bahut Shukriya Badi Meherbani: Lyrics and Translation Before the food coma from dinner sets in, take a listen to this gem and follow along with the lyrics and our English translation below. Given the special occasion of Thanksgiving, we hope that the portrayal of thankful sincerity in this song will inspire you to go say dhanyavaad, shukriya, or thank you to the loved ones in your life. This orchestration is an integral part of the song and it has even been reflected in the picturization: Joy Mukherjee serenades with a harmonium strapped around his neck as Sadhana accompanies on the dholak.

Mohammed Rafi is at his playful best as he sings for Joy Mukherjee’s character, a wounded soldier who has fallen in love with Sadhana after being hit with classic Bollywood’s most popular disease: amnesia! Asha Bhonsle also makes her presence felt despite being given a single stanza to sing here. This movie must have done something right because it became the second-biggest hit at the box office in 1962! Despite some plot loopholes and scattered character development, this film is worth a watch for Sadhana’s sublime beauty, O.P Nayyar’s evergreen soundtrack, and the cinematic portrayal of Kashmir. Directed by Raj Khosla, this film presents Joy Mukherjee and Sadhana in their second film together after debuting in Love in Simla (1960).
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! In the spirit of giving thanks today, we are presenting one of Hindi cinema’s most cherished expressions of gratitude: “ bahut shukriyaa baDii maharbaanii” from Ek Musafir Ek Hasina (1962).
