Shammi Kapoor - His Movies & His Songs

Shammi Kappor has been in the movie industry for a very very long time. He first appeared in 1953 in "Thokar" when he was 22. Since then he acted in over 130 movies. Though he struggled initially as an actor, after marrying another actress (Geetabali), his life changed forever under her able guidance. From a commercial also ran to he became a sought after atcor.

I am starting this new series on Shammi. I have many of his movies in CDs. I am missing some of them from his early years, and may be one or two from the later years. I would like to share these songs with you in coming months and invite the members to share any missing songs to complete the albums.

To start with here is the part 1 of his filmography ...

Tangewali (1955)

Inspite of a spate of string of failures that haunted him in his early career, Shammiji found work and kept on making movie after movie. This is another 1955-er that also was not a financial success. This movie however has some beautiful songs tuned by that unforgettable maestro who composed so many everlasting songs, Salil Chowdhury.

There are 10 songs in this movie. I am uploading seven of them. I am missing still three of them. These are shown in red italics in the table below. I am appealing the Forum members to share these missing songs if they have them.

Now for details of the songs and the songs themselves ...
