Some nice comments on this video:

1)
Pictures of GD in a family setting coupled with her exceptionally sweet and crisp voice make this video a standout presentation. One gets a glimpse of this icon from a closer ground, making it possible to applaud and appreciate her talents even better. Very nice tribute to GD which she deserved every inch of way.

2)
Geeta Dutt was always superb. Whether she entrusted with one song in a film but that becomes super duper hit and surpas all other songs of the film. People recognize and remember the film on that particular song. For example film Bhai Bhai is remembered for song "Aye dil mujhe batade thoo kis pe aagaya hay" and film Sharth is in our memory for song "Na ye chand hoga na tare rahenge".

Outstanding!.... Jaata kahan hey deewaane....OMG. Look at the voice....Look at the music...All Gold.
Geeta has an inbuilt sadness in her voice...even the happy songs have a tinge of sadness..... Absolutely great! ....Waqt ne kia kiya haseen sitam. Thanks Suhanee for this unforgettable treat......Wonderful upload.

It is pleasant surprise to see tribute to legendary singer. In fact I was not aware of her date of death. This sort of paying tributes will go a long way in the annals of YouTube. I have gone through all those songs and visuals in the presentation with much feelings. There is no second opinion of her talent; but I go a step further. I always look her story from humanistic angle; here I have a feeling that she was a victim of circumstances and suffered a lot. Great loss to family and industry.

Geeta Dutt ji's husky voice with oomf. makes her unique singer. Here each and every song is beautiful and has made her legend.
Suhanee ji your presentation of this collection of songs for medly of Geeta ji's songs is very impressive .The rare pictures are also treat to eyes. I spacially like at 4.44 when she is standing in front of Guru Dutt ji's photoframe.
Thanks for your efforts for this creation

Oh, what a pleasant surprise to see this tribute to Geeta Dutt ! Manna Dey described her voice as the sound of sweet little bells , especially when she sings lively songs or bhajans. The only other voice that, though quite different in other qualities , gives a similar bell-like impression is that of Juthika Roy as Professor Zaidi once correctly indicated . In serious songs, GD draws upon other kinds of sweetness, difficult to capture in words but invariably irresistible. Thanks, Suhanee.

Great pictures all, several new to me. The ones I especially love are of GD and Meena Kumari greeting each other, with K. Asif in the middle ; of GD with Meena Kapoor and Lataji; of GD with Moh'd Rafi's family; and of GD , Guru Dutt and their two sons, the sons cutely draped over the dad's back and shoulders. They look like cherished kids. Such glimpses of our movie icons in their off-screen, normal human settings are priceless.
