Looking For Songs From "darogaji", One film where all songs are sung by Geetaji Options

[parag_sankla]

Hi All Geetaji fans

I am looking for songs from this movie in which Geetaji has sung all the songs. I am sure most of you are aware that the movie was "Darogaji".

MD was Bulo C Rani. Lyrics are by M L Khanna. The movie was produced by Nargis's brother and the heroine was (obviosuly) Nargis.

I am aware of the following 10 songs from this movie :

(1) Ab kaun sunega hai re dukhi dil ki kahaani

(2) Apne sajan ke man mein samaai re

(3) Ho jawaaniyaan nigodi sataaye hai ghoonghat mera khul khul jaaye

(4) Jeena mushkil marna mushkil bechain hai dil

(5) Kotwaal daroga apna ki ab dar kaahe dar kaahe ka

(6) Le jaa le jaa baabu yeh meri nishaani

(7) Mere man ke gagan mein aaj chhitaki chaandni

(8) Meri soyi preet jaga ke bichhad mat jaana

(9) Mori tujhse ulajh gayi ankhiyaan

(10) Piya milan ke din aaye

All have been sung by Geetaji. Only the song number 9 (Mori tujhse ulajh gayi ankhiyaan) has been uploaded on HF (since I have joined). This song is also in lower bit rate.

Please share if you have any of these songs in your collection.

Thanks and best regards
Parag

More information about the MD (from RMIM group) :


A music director, however popular, is often forgotten with the passage of
time when the trend of music changes.

Bulo C Rani was one such composer whose best is buried under the debris of
time. When the slow paced melodious music was replaced by the fast paced
rhythmic melodies Bulo suddenly lost his relevance as a composer. He lived
in a state of hybernation for so long that his death - a suicide - on 24th
May 1993 at 73 was reported as if it was a matter of no big consequence. The
eventful career of Bulo C Rani in the 40's and the early 50's was forgotten.

Mukesh, after his initial failure as a singer, drew attention only when he
sang for Bulo in 'Moorty' ( 'Badariya baras gai us paar'/with Hamida and
khursheed/1945 )

The film 'Jogan' (1950) was a land -mark in Bulo's career. His composing
skill enabled him to enhance the inherent charm of Meerabai's traditional
bhajans such as 'ghoonghat Ke Pat Khol re', 'Main to giridhar Ke ghar jaaoon
', 'Damag damag dole naiya' and ' Jogi mat ja, mat ja'. Even the Holi song
('Rang daaro ri') and the sentimental one in the voice of Talat ('Sundarta
Ke Sabhi Shikari') were no less appealing. More than Dilip Kumar and Nargis
in the film it was Bulo's music which turned out to be the real star.

Before 'Jogan' came his way Bulo had already earned recognition through the
films such as 'Rajputani' ('Ja parwane ja kahin shama jal rahi hai/Mukesh,
hamida and 'Anjuman ('Kaise bataoon tum se is dil ko pyar kyun hai'
/Shamshed, Mukesh) and the immense popularity of the song 'Armaan bhara dil
toot gaya' ('Wafa/Lata, Mukesh)

Bulo C Rani had a special fascination for heavy voices which were capable of
more expressive power. For the same reason he was able to create a great
impact on listeners with the voices of Amirbai ('Sooni padi hai payar ki
duniya tere baghair'/ 'Carvan').
Zohra ('Ankhon mein intezaar Ki duniya liye huve'/'Carvan') and geeta Roy
(Dutt) in the songs of 'Jogan'. Bulo did not hesitate to create an
enchanting melody in the song 'Badi bhool hui tujhe pyar kiya' in 'Maghroor'

'Bilwamangal' (1954) was the last significant film of Bulo c Rani. Suraiya
sang one of her most memorable song 'Parwanon se preet seekhli, shama se
seekha jal jaana' and so did C.H. Atma in 'Panghat pe more shyam bajaaye
muraliya'.

Despite the popularity of a stray song such as 'Hamen to loot liya milke
husn Walon ne' (Ismail Azad/'Al Hilal'/1958). Bulo C Rani just continued to
drift because his music had not remained a viable commercial proposition.

After 'Sunhare Qadam' (1966). Bulo's career came to an end. Having once
enjoyed the position of prominence the lack of assignment made him restless.

It was an irony of fate that the song he composed in the voice of Lata in
his last film 'Sunhare Qadam' was 'Maangne se jo maut mil jaati, Kaun jeeta
zamane men'.

Irony was that in life he asked for death and he got it.
