Shair Aur Sargam

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Satta Bazaar (1959)

The highlight of this movie was its fine music by the then up and coming music director duo Kalyanji & Anandji. They were ably assisted by another yet to be discovered duo Laxmikant & Pyarelal who were to create their own legacy in near future.

Several songs from the film standout. Lata’s solo “Kaisa Insaaf” and Hemantda’s solo “Chaandi Ke” and the duet with Lata, “Tumhen Yaad Hoga”. Especially the duet was a resounding hit.

There is a short song in the film, “Yeh Duniya”, for which I do not have details of. It appears like it started as Rafi Saab’s voice and then changed to someone else’s. Or may be it is the same voice throughout the song. Please kindly provide details of this if you can. Thanks.

I am uploading above mentioned songs and others from the film plus several instrumentals of “Tumhen Yaad Hoga” in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Anand Bakshi) Spy in Rome (1968)

This movie is another cheap and bad version of a mixture of James Bond films. The only thing that can be said about this movie is its not so bad music. Especially Rafi’s song “Rome”. It appears four times in the film. The first appearance is the full song I am uploading here. The other three times repeat the beginnings of the song and have nothing new to add.

I am missing a song from this film shown in red italics in the table below. It was not in the VCD and I could not get hold of it anywhere. Please share this song with rest of us if you can. Thank you.

Here are the songs and some music clips from the film…

Thank you kindly for the songs Hemji. Cheers.

(Majrooh) Flat No. 9 (1961)

Here are the songs from this film...

(Rajinder Krishan) Chandan (1958)

M.V. Raman of “Bahar (1951)” and other films directed this film from a Tamil hit. Apart from Vyjayanti Mala whom he introduced, Kishoreda was one of his favorites. Mala is not in this film but Kishoreda is. Kishoreda starred in seven of the eight Hindi films Raman directed.


Nutan and Kishoreda appeared together in three films in 1958. These were “Chandan”, “Dilli ka Thug”, and “Kabhi Andhera Kabhi Ujala”. All these films had one common trait. They all had good songs. Of these three movies only “Thug” was a modest hit.

But “Chandan” and “Kabhi” had another thing common besides their leading pair. They were based on a story that was already made in Tamil and Telugu as films. I am not sure whether the leading pair was aware of this or not. Yet they went ahead and starred in the two separate Hindi versions of the Tamil film.

Both movies were finished just about the same time and were scheduled for release in the same month. But the producers of “Chandan” went to court to stop the release of “Kabhi” claiming that they had the rights to the story and “Kabhi” should never be released. They had partial victory in the court. They did not get what they wanted but agreed to a postponement of the release of “Kabhi” to a later date.

“Chandan” was released earlier in the year whereas “Kabhi” was released later. Neither of them did well at the box office.

Madan Mohanji gave music to 95 released films and 12 shelved ones. Of these he was collaborated with the lyricist Rajinder Krishanji in 36 films. That comes to a whopping one-third of the movies! Their collaboration produced countless melody rich songs. However the music and songs of “Chanda” bordered on average. An exception was Asha’s “Sunn Raadha” which was a stand out.

A note about the song “Yeh Khule” by Lata. This song actually includes four songs, each with different lyrics and compositions, and each was sung by different actress in the film. The order of these four songs is “Log Kahe”, “Kabhi Dekh Saki”, “Mohabbat”, and “Takra Naa”. I am uploading these songs individually. As mention earlier, the combined version of the song I am uploading as “Yeh Khule”.

Here are these and the rest of the songs from this film…

(Shailendra) Satta Bazaar (1959)

(Anand Bakshi) Mehlon Ke Khwab (1960)

I am re-uploading these songs on request...

Madhubala produced this film that starred herself, her sister Chanchal in a major role, and her husband Kishore Kumar. Interestingly Kishoreda was paired with Chanchal in the film whereas Madhubala’s love interest was Pradeep Kumar. But Kumar only had a very limited role. Even Madhubala’s role was also somewhat limited. She gave her sister Chanchal most of the screen time.

In this film, one can easily detect that something was wrong with Madhubala’s health. She looked very pale. The health might have been a compelling reason why Chanchal garnered so much of screen time. Madhubala’s health became so bad that things took turn for worse for her. While shooting the film Madhubala collapsed and fainted. With her congenital heart problem playing havoc with her health, she was flown to England for treatment. The movie was finished with Chanchal stepping in for her sister.

Most of the songs in this film are good. Their quality is variable ranging from fair to decent. Please note that the song “Gar Tum” has a noticeable skip at 3:05.

Here are the songs from this album…

Now for the songs from this film…

(Hasrat Jaipuri & Shailendra) Begunah (1956)

I am re-uploading these songs on request...

Shankar & Jaikishan were very busy in 1956. They had eight films released during the year, which is equivalent to three films every four months. These movies were: “Basant Bahar”, “Begunah”, “Chori Chori”, “Halaku”, “Kismet ka Khel”, “New Delhi”, “Patrani”, and “Raj Hath”.

“Begunah” was a carbon copy of Daany Kaye’s 1954 comedy hit film “Knock on Wood”. After its wide release “Begunah” with its hit songs was doing brisk business. Then Paramount Studios, the concern that produced the English film, sued the producers of “Begunah” for unauthorized duplication. The suit went in favor of Paramount and per court order all movie boxes of “Begunah” were seized and destroyed. This was kind of unprecedented.

Among the songs Mukesh’s “Aye Pyaase” was a standout and became a huge hit. In the movie it was filmed in the club on the music director Jaikishan. Here is this and other songs from this album. (Incidentally Shakila’s pictures shown in the table below are not from the film.)
