So enjoy our English translation and lyrics to “ Dum Maro Dum” below! Follow along with the video and let us know your thoughts on this controversial smash hit in the comments! You know how Zeenat starts the song with a little “Hush!” just before the music starts? I can’t exactly explain why, but I always feel really awkward when I hear it. I really applaud Dev Anand for making such a bold film that critiques a subject so ignored by his contemporaries and so popular among the masses who bought into it– with a delightfully satirical name like Hare Rama Hare Krishna, the film was a risk and it paid off. The film delivers a powerful message without feeling like Manoj Kumar-eqsue patriotic propaganda. Dev Anand hunts down his long-lost sister in such a hippie camp and tries to extricate her with tragic results. Shot in one of Dev Anand’s favorite locations, Kathmandu (remember Jewel Thief, anyone?), Hare Rama Hare Krishna is a politically-driven film against the subversive hippie culture that our hero believes to be distorting the true message of the Hindu ideals it pretends to preach. Gorgeous Zeenat Aman sports a pair of show-stopping 70s shades as a drug addict in Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971). Let’s face it, with this song, Zeenat may represent everything we don’t want in our loved ones, but God, does she make it look appealing. Burman’s greatest works for the ground he broke–putting illicit drugs and societal defiance to the forefront in a youth-targeted song that was so instantly catchy no one could brush it off. It’s one of incomparable music director R.D.

It’s seductive, eccentric, and exhibits her full range from those bizarre, unexpected high notes to the fabulous embodiment of character as only Asha knew how. So to all the Harvard seniors getting ready to graduate in a few months, this song is for you! When people think of Asha Bhonsle at her craziest, “Dum Maro Dum” is often the song that comes immediately to mind. The translation could not have come at a more appropriate time–as many of you know, as of 2 weeks ago, medical marijuana is now legalized in Massachusetts. Our next lyrics and English translation is the epitome of youthful rebellion and psychadelic glamour: “ Dum Maro Dum” from Dev Anand’s 1971 Hare Rama Hare Krishna. More importantly, can someone please burn that hideous floppy straw hat? Zeenat Aman becomes shamelessly intoxicated in front of her brother Dev Anand in Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971).
