Dear Lakshmi,
A good effort at making HFers start thinking..thinking..I want to add, whenever one comes across a twin number where one of the singers is Lataji, she is undoubtedely better than her counterpart,I suppose u will agree.This particular song falls in a category of twin songs where the aforementioned notion does not stand true !!!

Chandrashekhar.

I beg to differ..relapsing into your words, whenever one comes across a twin number where one of the singers is Lata, other is undoubtedely better than her
striking examples

1 above song
2 jeevan ke safar mein- kishore
3 jayen to jayen kahan- talat
4 mujhko is raat ki tanhai mein- mukesh
5 rimjhim gire sawan- kishore
6 teri ankhon ke siva-rafi
7 zindagi bhar nahi bhulegi-rafi, lata's version is I think a duet with Rafi, but still rafi's solo is mindblowing
8 mere mehboob- rafi
9 hamen aur jeene ki chahat -kishore
10 yeh raat yeh chandani- hemant , lata's version is exactly not the same but Hemant kumar
11 samay ae dheere- rudali - asha
12 jis dil mein basa tha pyar tera- saheli mukesh

I dont remember more right now.. there are many many... and the BIGGEST EXAMPLE is KUCH NA KAHO... a singer(??????????) like kumar sanu sounds much better in this song

but if you compare Geeta with others, Geeta's versions sound better.. two examples

1 na yeh chand hoga- shart
2 hai ye duniya kaunsi- sailab
in both cases, hemant was the counterpart

Of course this is my opinion
cheers
