A perpetual favourite from among Geeta-ji's renditions, from "AAR PAAR", picturized on Shakila with Guru Dutt also on-screen.

Shall upload the song clips from "JAAN-PEHCHAAN".

About the re-location of the Geeta Dutt forum:

Of late we've received requests for forums dedicated to Hemant Kumar and Manna Dey. It would be unreasonable not to oblige these requests, considering these are legendary artistes in their own right.

But due to space constraints on the Home Page, it was decided that:

1) We'll retain on the Home Page the oldest/original forums dedicated to singers, the ones members are most used to seeing there.

2) Create a new forum for Legendary Singers with sub-forums for the various other great singers whom we revere. It gave us the flexibility of creating a sub-forum for no less a legend than the immortal K. L. Saigal!

No disrespect was meant to Geeta-ji and no offence intended to her innumerable fans. But moving Geeta Dutt into the new forum was necessary to create space to feature other legends --- without making the Home Page look like a telephone directory!

You and Bappa-da and other members have made this a very active tribute. We'll continue to participate as best as we can to make it one of the most popular and informative in HF.

Thanks to all concerned for their contributions.

hi unniji,
i understand the constraints of the administration.but being a geeta fanatic i felt geeta dutt forum was gaining immense popularity because of direct exposure.although more people were actively participating in rafi,lata,kishore and asha forum;geeta forum's popularity was in no way less than noorjehan or mukesh forum since 21st april.
of course i am a big fan of shamshad,hemant,suraiya and all other newly introduced legends and eagerly await discussion on them.
maybe after a couple of months the adminstration can reconsider the decision if it percieves significant participation in the geeta forum comparable to other legends.

a million thanks for ''pardesi se lag gayi preet re''.it was my least favourite song from the movie;but after watching the picturisation,i am beginning to like it.

mahesh

MAHESH JI,
I THINK I UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION. AS A DIE HARD FAN OF GEETA DUTT, I COULD ONLY FIND LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT HER AS WELL AS VERY LITTLE COLLECTION OF HER SONGS....PEOPLE SEEM TO LIKE HER BUT DID NOT KNOW OR CARE MUCH TO KEEP HER IN PROMINENCE. I REMEMBER THE FRUSTRATIONS I UNDERWENT WHEN I STARTED TO ACTIVELY PURSUE TO KNOW, COLLECT GEETA DUTT CLASSICS!
WHEREAS OTHER SINGERS LIKE LATA, ASHA, HEMANT,TALAT, RAFI, MUKESH, MANNA DEY ETC. ETC. WERE ALL EITHER ALIVE OR THERE WERE ALREADY TOO MANY OF THEIR SONGS IN THE MARKET, WHERE GEETA DUTT WAS ONLY A HANDFUL. I REMEMBER WHEN I USED TO ASK ABOUT GEETA DUTT RECORDS FROM HMV RECORD STORES IN CALCUTTA, THEY WOULD GIVE ME A LOOK LIKE I WAS CRAZY TO BE LOOKING FOR THEM....THEN AFTER A LOT OF COAXING, THEY WOULD FIND A RECORD UNDER PILES OF JUNK AND PULL IT OUT AND SAY, THIS IS ALL WE HAVE.....I DON'T HAVE TIME TO LOOK THROUGH.....ETC. ETC. SEVERAL TIMES I THOUGHT OF GOING AND ASKING HEMANTA MUKHERJEE ABOUT HER, (OR PRATIMA BANERJEE, WHO WAS ALSO A FAMILY FRIEND, BUT SHE WAS MENTALLY UNSTABLE AT THAT TIME) BUT COULD NOT SUMMON THE COURAGE AS MY MOTHER ALSO POINTED OUT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO INSULT HIM BY ASKING ABOUT ANOTHER ARTISTE OR SHOW YOUR CRAZINESS TOO MUCH....YOU WILL EMBARRASS ME AND MY FRIEND, KRISHNA (HEMANT KUMAR'S NEICE)...SO THAT NEVER WORKED OUT!! THEN I STARTED STEALING TWO OR THREE CASSETTES I WOULD FIND IN MY NEIGHBOR'S, MOTHER'S FRIENDS PLACE. I USED TO FEEL ANGRY AT LATA AND ASHA, WHY DON'T THEY EVER MENTION ABOUT GEETA DUTT, WHO WAS THEIR EQUAL. HOW COULD THEY LET HER JUST WITHER AWAY LIKE THAT? ETC. ETC.

SIMILAR SITUATION WAS OF COLLECTING GURU DUTT ARTICLES.....NO ONE SEEMED TO CARE OR KNOW. I WAS DEEMED AS CRAZY FOR EVEN LIKING GURU DUTT THEMES!! I ALSO STARTED STEALING PAGES FROM MAGAZINES FROM MY SCHOOL LIBRARY WHERE GURU DUTT WOULD BE MENTIONED, HIDE THEM IN MY PANTS AND TRY TO AVOID BEING CHECKED OUT BY THE LIBRARIAN!!! DOES THAT SOUND CRAZY!! THAT WAS MY PASSION FOR THE DUTT COUPLE WHICH HAS ONLY INCREASED AS I HAVE GROWN OLDER AND MOVED AWAY!

SO NATURALLY BEING A GEETA DUTT FAN WAS HARD AND IT SEEMED TO BE EVER ELUSIVE!!

RIGHT MAHESH BHAISAAB?
