(Shailendra) Devar Bhabhi (1958)

Most of these songs were contributed by various Forum members including the late Erum Hashmi, exon, and Romesh. My many thanks to all of them. I am still missing three songs listed in red italics in the table below. If you can, please kindly share these songs with us. Thank you.

Here is a note on the song “Maike”. This was picturized in the film on the comedian Radha Kishan. Ravi, the music director of the film, requested Rafi Saab to sing the song mimicking the comedian’s voice. Rafi Saab obliged. The results are unbelievably wonderful. Indeed this is a tribute to Rafi Saab’s greatness that he could mold his voice to suit the voice he was singing for. Amazing!

Here is this and the other songs I have from this film…

Soumik,

The following set of songs completes your request. Enjoy.

Cheers,
S

Many Many Thanks Swarapriya Bhai....

Hope you don't mind fulfilling my songs requests.

Regards,
Soumik

(Shakeel) Benazir (1964)

This Muslim social was produced by Bimal Roy. S. Khalil who directed the movie also wrote its story, screenplay, and dialogues. Gulzarji was the chief assistant director. Roy who employed either Salil Chowdhury or S.D. Burman as music directors for his films, this time went along with Burmanda. In his great illustrious career, this was the first time Burmanda worked in this genre. RD was the assistant music director.

This film came on the heels of the tremendous success of “Mere Mehboob” released only the previous year. People started comparing songs, music, and lyrics of this film with those from “Mere Mehboob”. Shakeel Saab wrote lyrics for both the films. Filmgoers felt that in both the music and lyrics departments the movie fell short compared to “Mere Mehboob”.

Shakeel Saab worked with Burmanda in only two films. Both of them came in 1964. It was this film and the other was “Kaise Kahoon”. There were many songs in “Benazir” but only few became popular. I have two favorites from this album. One is Lata’s beautiful “Mil Jaa” and the other is Rafi Saab’s “Dil Mein”.

I am uploading these and others in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set…

Dear Swarapriya Bhai,

As far as I know that Sahara is an unreleased film; did not released in 1987...

Soumik

May be so. The date I got probably reflects when the song was released. Thanks for the info.

Cheers,

(Anand Bakshi) Jawan Mard (1966)

I have only one song available from this movie that I am uploading here. There seem to be at least five other songs that I am missing. These are shown in red italics in the table below. I am requesting members to kindly share these or any others not listed here from this film if they can. Thank you.

Here is the only song I have from this album...

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Do Phool (1958)

This film is an adaptation of the famous children’s book “Heidi”. The book was written by the Swiss author Johanna Spyri in 1880. It is one of the best known in Swiss literature and is one of the best-selling books in the world. It was made into a movie nearly 30 times in various languages and spanned several television series both episodic as well as animated throughout the world. Even though adapted, “Do Phool” kept the spirit of the original book intact.

The music for the film was composed by Vasant Desai. There are several beautiful songs in the film like “Aayi Pari”, “Main Buzubaan”, and others. I am uploading these and others in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…
