This is what he has written about duets of Kishoreda with Geeta ji


Next we take up the Jodi of KK and Geeta Dutt....Alas, wish we had the luxury of hundreds of duets by this duo...No. 13 is unlucky they say, but lucky for some....but not in the case of this duo....they sang only 13 songs together in good 23 years of the overlap of their singing career (from KK's Ziddi of 1948 to Geeta Dutt's Anubhav of 1971)...of course these 23 years were punctuated by a few losses to wilderness by Geeta Dutt...

If KK was enigmatic to some, Geeta Dutt was no less, may be in a different context...Geeta Dutt started her hindi film singing career with an image of a singer of melancholic songs....kahte hain dard chhalakta tha unki aawaz se (you can choose chhalakta or jhalakta, whichever, both would do)...because she could emote extreme sadness through her voice....it was only in 1950s that another side of her singing talent came to fore...and guess who brought it out? Can he be anyone else than SD Burman? He had an uncanny precision in spotting talent hidden under reams of wrap...and then there was dramatic change in her image as a singer...from sad song singer she emerged as singer of choice for peppy, sultry and seductive songs...what a dramatic change in the image...perhaps as dramatic as her whole life had been...if only she had not had her own share of personal problems, perhaps Asha Bhosle would never have got the break and push she got, arguably at the expense of Geeta Dutt...

I am no Geeta Dutt expert....I am sure Parag_Sankla could talk till cows are back home about her life, talent and singing heroics....

Here is the list of KK-Geeta Dutt songs:

1 Aankhon Mein Tum Dil Mein Tum Ho ------ Half Ticket 1962
2 De Bhi Chuke Hum Dil Nazrana ------ Jaal 1952
3 Dekh Aasmaan Mein Chand Muskuraye ------ Shararat 1959
4 Dekho Na Dekho Hamen Maare Guroor Ke (Part 2) ------ Miss Mala 1954
5 Ek Hum Aur Doosre Tum ------ Pyar 1950
6 Ghar Ki Raunak Hai Ghar Wali ------ Bandi 1957
7 Jab Jab Tujhko Chhuaa ------ Jaalsaaz 1959
8 Kaabul Ki Main Naar ------ Krorepati 1961
9 Kamata Hoon Bahut Par Kamayee ------ Adhikar 1954
10 Naachti Jhoomati Muskurati Aa Gayi Pyar Ki ------ Miss Mala 1954
11 O Bewafa Ye To Bata ------ Pyar 1950
12 O Re O Re Do Dil Jaan Chupke Chupke ------ Miss Mala 1954
13 Tune Mera Dil Liya Teri Baaton Ne ------ Shararat 1959



Thanks eskayes
