Today being 8th march every where we are bombarded with Happy Woman’s day messages. All the radio channels are playing woman power songs. Just heard some news channel tell that Mumbai police has launched some special service to help women in distress. But I don’t know why we don’t hear these things on other non special days. But kya Karen we are like that only. We wish our mothers on mother’s day and take her for granted on the other days. We might even forget to wish her good morning and start bombarding her with all the Why questions….. Why you didn’t wake me up? Why you didn’t keep my dress ironed? (Some examples, I am sure there will be more serious queries as well as there will be exceptions to the rule wherein the kids will be super- independent). Similarly on other days the father will be an ATM machine but on Father’s day he will get a nice gift (probably bought from the pocket money he gives). But chalta hai. Life is like that and we accept and expect it to be like that.
So the song which I heard first in the morning on vividh bharati was from “Aakhir Kyon?” (1985). That movie had a very topical theme of a wife (Smita Patil) being abandoned by her whimsical husband (Rakesh Roshan) for another girl (Tina Munim). The story goes on to show Smita becoming a TV anchor (she was one prior to coming into movies) and then graduating to a Novelist. Then it turns out that when her husband’s business falls in bad times he approaches her; requests her to write for him; so that he can get their daughter (whom had forcibly kept with himself at the time of separation) married decently. That is the gist of the movie. We also had a partly bald Rajesh Khanna playing a TV (DoorDarshan) cameraman who admires Smita for her rebounding power and is a support to her throughout.
This movie came at a time when DD was the only channel available and people used to have one TV in their drawing rooms. And whole families used to sit and watch whatever was dished out to them. Otherwise I cannot imagine an entire family sitting and watching this kind of a musical show on TV these days. Also those were the days when people used to quote Rani Jhansi in all their speeches (don’t miss the photo of Rani Jhansi shown during the song.) also Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher were sources of inspiration. (they also appear in the picturisation of the song)
The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle to music composed by Rajesh Roshan for Indivar’s lyrics.

Chorus
Lyrics
komal hai kamzor nahin tu,
shakti ka naam hi naari hai
jag ko jeewan dene waali
maut bhi tujhse haari hai
komal hai kamzor nahin tu (aa aa aa aa)
shakti ka naam hi naari hai
jag ko jeewan dene waali
maut bhi tujhse haari hai
komal hai kamzor nahin tu
aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa
aa aa aa
satiyon ke naam pe tujhe jalaaya
meera ke naam pe zehar pilaaya
aaa aaaa aaa aaa aaa
satiyon ke nam mein tujhe jalaya
meera ke naam pe zehar pilaya
sita jaisi agni pariksha
jag mein ab tak jaari hai
komal hai kamzor nahin tu,
shakti ka naam hi naari hai
jag ko jeewan dene waali
maut bhi tujhse haari hai
komal hai kamzor nahin tu
aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa
ilm hunar mein dil dimaag mein
kisi baat mein kam to nahin
aa aa aa aa aa
iilm hunar me dil dimaag mein
kisi baat me kam to nahin
purushon waale sare hi adhikaaron ki adhikaari hai
aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa
bahut ho chuka ab mat sahna
tujhe itihaas badalna hai
aa aa aa aa aa
bahut ho chuka ab mat sahna
tujhe itihaas badalna hai
naari ko koi kah na paaye
abla hai bechaari hai
komal hai kamzor nahin tu,
shakti ka naam hi naari hai
jag ko jeewan dene waali
maut bhi tujhse haari hai
komal hai kamzor nahin tu (aaaaaaa)
shakti ka naam hi naari hai (aaaaaa)
jag ko jeewan dene waali (aaaaaa)
maut bhi tujhse haari hai (aaaaaa)
komal hai kamzor nahin tu (aaaaaa)
