Do You Know Any Pair Of Almost Identically Tuned Songs Of Rafi Saab?, I Now Know Not Eleven, But Twlve Pairs! Options

[venkat]

Friends,

It was only after I joined HF that I came to know this. There are at least twelve pairs of Rafi Saab's songs which are almost identical in tune.

PAIR-I:

1. "Ek Chameli Ki Mandwe Tale"--Film: Cha Cha Cha(1964)---MD:Iqbal Quereshi--Rafi and Asha

2. "Aaj Mausam Ki Masti Mein Gaaye Pawan"--Film:Banarasi Thug(1962)---MD:Iqbal Quereshi---Rafi and Lata


PAIR-II:

1. "Tu Hind Bane Ya na Musalmaan Banega, Insaan Ki Aulad"---Film:Dhool Ka Phool(1959)---MD:N.Datta---Rafi

2. "Kya Kya Na Sitam Tujh Pe Huve Mehlon Ki Raani"---Film:Mohini(1957)---MD:N.Datta---Rafi


Incidentally, within each of these Pairs, the MDs are the same!

Firends, please let me know if you know any other such almost identical pairs. Mind you, only almost identical pairs. Not similar pairs, of which there are plenty!

P.S. Another seven or eight pairs have been discovered in the following posts!

Main Kal Phir Milungi (Lata & Rafi) - Dr. Vidya & Kisi Ki Mohabbat Mein (Asha & Rafi) - Kaise Kahoon

Both have the same exact tune, both are composed by S.D Burman.

Friends,

Could someone please upload these two songs mentioned by Prince Ji, as I am not able to exactly place them? The idea is to hear them and see whether they are as 'identical' as the Iqbal Quereshi pair and N.Datta pair that I mentioned in my first post.

Coming to the other songs mentioned by USR Ji, Paresh Ji and Nasar Ji, my humble view is that they are similar in some parts such as mainly the Mukhda, but are not almost identical (both in Mukhda and Antara) like the two pairs that I mentioned.

Regarding Anupama Ji's Kitna Rangeen song and Aaj Ki Raat Badi song, no doubt, they have a great amount of similarity, but still fall short in the extent of identicalness. While I know her Boot Polish song well enough, I need to hear her Raja Saab song once again to understand the extent of similarity.

Why I am probing this subject so hard is that I wish to compile a list of such almost identical pairs (not just similar pairs).

PS. On a rethink, Paresh Motiwala Ji's Yeh Hawa Yeh Raat (Talat) and Tujhe Kya Sunao (Rafi) have a very great degree of identicality both in Mukhda and Antaras.
