(Hasrat Jaipuri) Sasural (1961)
This movie was based on the 1959 super hit Telugu film “Illarikam”. I read some place that the Telugu film itself was loosely based on Sharat Chandra Chatterjee’s novel “Kashinath”. I am not sure how accurate this information is. But one thing is certain. I don’t think Chatterjee, a brilliant novelist, probably never wrote a movie as entertaining as this purported to be. He was famous for tragedies, “Devdas” being an example of it. The Hindi movie did not have either the soul or the spirit of the Telugu film. This was mainly because of the disappointing performances of most of the artistes, except possibly for Mahmood. Nevertheless it went onto break all records for a Hindi film. Much of the credit was due to several catching tunes composed by S&J, with the classic “Teri Pyaari Pyaari Surat Ko” by inimitable Rafi Saab. The team of S&J were assisted by Dattaram & Sebastian. I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. Here are the songs in the first post… Attached image(s) ![]() Attached File(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

(Majrooh) Daal Me Kala (1964)
Character actor Bipin Gupta produced the film. Satyen Bose, who made films like “Jagriti (1954”), “Chalti ka Naam Gaadi (1958)”, “Dosti (1964)” and “Raat Aur Din (1967)” among others, wrote the screenplay and directed the film. My expectations of the film were high as I was hoping to see a good movie. But alas. It was a total disappointment. Except for its music, there is nothing in this film to write home about. C. Ramchandraji was the music director of the film. He did a commendable job with several nice tracks. My favorite of the album is the Kishoreda’s number “Chaand Chup Chaap Hai”. All songs from this album were ripped from a DVD. The quality of most of the songs is decent. Here are some observations about the songs. In a couple of them Kishoreda impersonates a female voice. One of the songs is “Do Aankhen Janaani”. At the very beginning of this song, he sings with a female voice. The second song is “Duniya ki Bazaar Mein”. In this song Ramchandraji had Kishore song a portion of “Gore Gore” from his own composition from the film “Albela (1951)” in a female voice. It is interesting note that in the song “Mohabbat Karna Hai” Chitalkar sings for Kishoreda. This comes close to the end of the song.

(Rajinder Krishan) Hum Hindustani (1960)
I was expecting to watch a patriotic movie because of its title. But alas. This is another ordinary movie that has nothing to do with patriotism. It was directed by Ram Mukherjee, father of the actress Rani Mukherjee. Ram also directed Dilip Saab’s “Leader” released in 1964. Sanjeev Kumar made his debut with this film. He had a small role as a police officer. He comes almost near the end of the film. The movie also supposed to have Prem Chopra in it. But I failed to spot him. In a surprise twist, Helen in this movie has a supporting role opposite Joy Mukherjee and there are no dances by her. In the romantic role she does a pretty good job. Helen later quoted as saying that she was not offered such roles again because “Hum Hindustani” did below average business. However, the only noteworthy thing about the film was its beautiful music. Usha Khanna followed her stunning debut of "Dil Deke Dekho" in 1959 with this beautiful album. If there were any doubts whether the success of "Dil Deke Dekho" was just a flash in the pan, this movie completely erased them. Here Khanna shows that she can be versatile in handling different singers. Whereas "Dil Deke Dekho" was all Asha and Rafi Saab, in this movie she also has Geetaji, Lata and Mukesh sing. She also joined the fray in a duet with Geetaji even though Khanna was not credited as one of the playback singers. The standout songs from this album are both solos by Mukeshji, "Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein" and "Raat Nikhri Hui", and his duet with Asha, "Neeli Neeli Ghata". Parag Sankla, one of the members of this Forum of ours, wrote last time these songs were uploaded for one of my different threads that the lyricist K. Manohar’s (see Post 2) full name is Manohar Lal Khanna. He was father of Usha Khanna who composed music for this film. Per Parag, Mr. Khanna used various names in the films he worked in. These were K. Manohar (in this film), M.L. Khanna, or simply Mnaohar, and sometimes as Javed Anwar. Parag also wrote that in the late forties and early fifties he worked as a lyricist for an outfit called Nargis Films Arts. The film “Darogaji (1949)” was one of the films released under this banner. Mr. Khanna wrote lyrics for 12 songs of that film which had music composed by Bulo C. Rani. Geetaji sang all 12 songs. I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs... Attached image(s) ![]() Attached File(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

(Anand Bakshi) Devi (1970)
This is another formulaic family drama that does not make any sense. Yet Hindi film industry kept on making such films in 60’s and 70’s, especially from the film makers from South. The music, like the movie itself, is very forgettable. Here are the songs from the film… Attached image(s) ![]() Attached File(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Aashiq (1962)
Hrishida and Raj Kapoor became good friends after they collaborated in the 1959 blockbuster film “Anari”. Hrishida was looking for a right story so that he can rope in Raj for another film. When Vishwamitter Adil’s story of this film came along Mukherjee Saab was convinced that this would be the right vehicle. But as it turned out there was not much novelty in the story and this predictability and the high expectation set by this pairing proved to be downfall for movie’s success. This in spite of its beautiful music by Shankar & Jaikishan. Every song from this film became a super hit. S&J were assisted by Dattaram & Sebastian. Interestingly, the music at the end of the song “Tum Aaj Mere Sang-1” had the similar tune of Hemantda’s super classic hit of Geetaji’s song “Piya Aiso Jiya Mein” from Guru Dutt’s “Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam”. However, like “Aashiq”, that film was also released in 1962. I am uncertain about the months these films were released during that year but my guess is that “Sahib” came early in the year and “Aashiq” later part of that same year. I am uploading all songs from this film and a few instrumentals in three back-to-back posts. Here are the songs starting in the first post… Attached image(s) ![]() Attached File(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

(Majrooh) Ganga ki Lahren (1964)
The novelty of this film was the casting of Savithri, a magnificently marvelous actress from the South. One of the greatest actresses the movie industry has seen, she acted in nearly 300 films, mostly in Tamil and Telugu. She came into the limelight at the age of 15 years when she starred as Paru in the film “Devadasu” shot both in Tamil and Telugu. After the stunning success enjoyed by that film, she never looked back by reigning supreme . She was unchallenged for nearly next 15 to 20 years. Most film magazines from North used to call her as “Meena Kumari of South”. There is a website dedicated to her life, career, and movies. This is available at: www.savithri.info This movie has several good songs. The song “Jaya Jayahey” (appeared four times in the film) and the duet “Machalti Hui” are standouts. I am uploading these and others in two back-to-back posts. Attached image(s) ![]() Attached File(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

(Rajinder Krishan) Love in Simla (1960)
This film introduced R.K. Nayyar as a director. He earlier was associated as an assistant to a couple of Raj Kapoor’s films, the 1953 “Aah” and the 1954 “Boot Polish”. RK also wrote the story for this film. This movie also introduced both the leading pair, Sadhana and Joy Mukherjee. Sadhana appeared in bit roles in a few movies before this film but this was her first outing as a full-fledged heroine. Sadhana was available when S. Mukherjee, producer of this film, was looking to cast a new heroine opposite Shammi Kapoor in “Dil Deke Dekho”. But its debutant director, Nasir Hussain, opted for Asha Parekh. For Joy, son of producer S. Mukherjee, this was the first film. Joy also starred in a couple of other “Love” movies; the 1966 hit “Love in Tokyo” and the 1974 “Love in Bombay” (that was actually released in 2013). Sadhana’s looks were carefully modeled after the beautifully talented Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn. Sadhana’s haircut, which became a sensation throughout India, was known as “Sadhana Haircut”. This was a direct copy of Miss Hepburn’s hairdo. In the movie when Sadhana is crowned as “Miss Simla” with a crown on her head she exactly looks like Hepburn from the 1953 film “Roman Holiday”. While filming the movie the director of the film Nayyar and Sadhana fell in love. But Sadhana’s parents vehemently opposed it and threatened to take Nayyar to the court. Not for another six years until Raj Kapoor intervened, they got married to each other. The film was all out entertainer until it falters in the last 20 minutes or so. It becomes too heavy for its own good. In the end the movie was still satisfying mainly because of the beautiful performance of Sadhana and chartbuster music from Iqbal Qureshi. Every song from the film became a huge hit and helped the movie to become a box-office hit. I am uploading all songs and a few music clips from this film in three back-to-back posts.
