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 ...

Shama Parwana (1954)

Here is another album from 1954 starring Shammi. It is amazing that inspite of the string of flops he had five films released in his debut year 1953 followed by another five in 1954. There must have been something that these producers saw in him and hoped for a big success. Also, there is that Kapoor myth with Shammi's father and older brother already highly respected figures in the industry. Whatever it is, I am glad Shammi kept going because his best was just ahead for him that would last many many years.

In this album there are 12 beautiful songs with Suraiya, the leading lady of this movie, dominating with several sweet songs. I also have two extended versions that were ripped from a DVD. Most songs came from a CD but others came from different sources. Therefore quality of the songs is not quite uniform.

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

Is this "Nadan Ankhiyan Lagi" duet (Rafi-female) really from Film:Shama Parwana(1955)--MD:HB?

Some chroniclers list only 3 Rafi duets in Shama Parwana. Those are:

1.Sham-e-Bahar Aayi

2.Beqarar Hai Koyi

3. Sar-e-Mehfil Jo Jala

Can anyone authoritatively confirm?

OK, I seem to have got the answer. This "Nadan Ankhiyan Laagi" song is from Shama Parwana(1954) sung by Rafi Saab, Asha Ji and Suraiya Ji.
