Lyrics :-
aye malik tere bande ham
aise ho hamare karam
neki par chale aaur badi se tale
taki hasate huye nikle dam
aye malik tere bande ham
bada kamjor hain aadmi
abhi lakho hain isme kami
par tu jo khada hain dayalu bada
teri kirapa se dharti thami
diya tune hume jab janam
tu hi jhelega ham sabke gam
neki par chale aaur badi se tale
tanki hasate huye nikle dam
aye malik tere bande ham
jab julmo ka ho samana
tab tu hi hame thamana
woh burayi kare ham bhalayi bhare
nahi badle ki ho bhawna
badh uthhe pyar ka har kadam
aur mite bair ka yeh bharam
neki par chale aaur badi se tale
tanki hasate huye nikale dam
aye malik tere bande ham ..
Do Aankhen Barah Haath ({Two Eyes, Twelve Hands}) is a 1957 Hindi film directed by V. Shantaram, who also starred in the film. It is considered to be one of the classics of Hindi cinema and is based on humanistic psychology. It won a Silver Bear at the 8th Berlin International Film Festival and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the category Samuel Goldwyn Award. The film is also remembered for the song "Aye Maalik Tere Bande Hum", sung by Lata Mangeshkar and written by Bharat Vyas.
The film was inspired by the story of an "open prison" experiment: Swatantrapur in the princely state of Aundh near Satara. Now, Swatantrapur is part of Atpadi tehsil in Sangli district of Maharashtra. It was recounted by screenwriter G. D. Madgulkar to V. Shantaram.In 2005, Indiatimes Movies ranked the movie amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films. During filming, V. Shantaram fought with a bull and injured an eye, but his eyesight survived.The film was later remade in 1975 in Tamil as Pallandu Vazhga, starring M.G. Ramachandran and Latha, and in 1976 as the Telugu colour film Maa Daivam, starring N.T. Rama Rao and Jayachitra.
Plot:-
The film portrays a young jail warden Adinath, who rehabilitates six dangerous prisoners released on parole into persons of virtue.
He takes these notorious, often surly murderers and makes them work hard with him on a dilapidated country farm, rehabilitating them through hard work and kind guidance as they eventually produce a great harvest.
The film ends with the death of the warden at the hands of the minions of a corrupt enemy who wants no competition in the profitable market he controls.
This film takes the viewers through several scenes that set a strong moral lesson that through hard work, dedication and concentration a person can accomplish anything. Also, this film explains that if people focus their energy on a worthy cause, success is guaranteed.
