Punjabi Songs In Hindi Movies Options

[deewani]

This is also a remnant of the former desiboard, started by a wonderful user named bm99 with contributions from other members, feel free to add on. The idea was

to make a list of Punjabi songs featured in Hindi movies. Meaning that the songs either have a similar melody to traditional Punjabi songs, have Punjabi boliyaan, etc.

........or even have a line or two of Punjabi in them.

Hi
I glanced at your list and did not see some prominent songs of the 1950's like'Main koi jhooth bolia' (MD Salil Chaudhury)from Jaagte Raho.Also 'Naya Daur'(MD O.P.Nayyar) had Punjabi type Hindi/Urdu songs like'Yeh desh hai veer jawano ka' 'Reshmi salwar kurta jaali ka'and 'Uden jab jab zulfen teri' all written by Sahir Ludhianvi.To name a few other films Shanker Jaikishan's "Ujala' 'Kanhaiya'and 'New Delhi', Naushad's 'Sohni Mahiwal' and many more movies with music by O.P. Nayyar had Punjabi type songs.I am not sure if 'Naach' is a movie from 40's or 50;s but it had a mostly Punjabi song 'wat takkun main teri kothe chadke aaja merey balma bahana karke' sung by Suraiya (MD Husn Lal; Bhagat Ram).I think there are numerous other songs from the 40;s, 50;s and 60's that could be added to this list.By the way I am really impressed with your knowledge of Punjabi songs in particular and of Punjabi culture and Punjabiyat in general.Please continue providing us with all the information and sources related to Punjabi.Harjinder
