Here are a few instrumentals of the song "Tujhe Jeevan Ki" from "Asli-Naqli"...

(Majrooh) Ishaara (1964)

Laxmikant & Pyarelal were assistant music directors for this film that had music composed by Kalyanji & Anandji. L&P already made their name as independent music directors after their stunning debut with the 1963 film “Parasmani”. In 1964, the same year this movie “Ishaara” was released, they composed music for the award winning “Dosti”. Even though a couple of songs from this film were okay, none of them leave an impression so that you can remember them for a while. The movie had a very familiar plot and also is easily forgotten.

Here are the songs from this film…

(Rajinder Krishan) Maa Baap (1960)

This is yet another familiar familial drama that does not make any sense. The story revolves around hapless parents and their one dimensional children; either they are really good or they are obscenely bad. There is no novelty in the story and the score by Chitraguptji is also so so.

(Anand Bakshi) Himmat (1970)

This movie came from the people who gave the 1967 surprising hit “Farz”. However, there is not much to write about this film. It deals with hackneyed subject where all the principle actors go along without showing much interest in the proceedings. Even LP’s songs do not offer anything new. Ditto Bakshi Saab’s lyrics.

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Dil Tera Deewana (1962)

This film was a remake of the 1958 Tamil comedy hit “Sabash Meena”. The Hindi film, like its Tamil predecessor, was dominated by the second hero of the film, in this case Mahmood. He won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor that year.

The movie half way through is lots of fun but in the second half it runs out of steam and gets even boring. The music with S&J at the helm, ably assisted by Dattaram & Sebastian, had many hits. The duet by Asha and Rafi Saab could have been a great one but for the too many intermittent interruptions of donkey braying. Thanks to the music and first half of fun and lovely Mala Sinha the movie became a hit.

This film was shot in black and white. A couple of years ago the Ultra DVD Company released a colorized version of this film. I am not certain whether this version was ever showed in theaters, like the colorized version of “Mughal-E-Azam”. I have both versions of the DVDs of the movie and they both are by Ultra. Also, they are identical in every respect. Sometimes the colorized versions of original B &W movies do not appear that good, but in this case the colors do not look that bad.

I am uploading all songs from the film, a few version songs, and some instrumentals in three back-to-back posts. Here are the songs in the first post…

A Few Instrumentals of the Songs from "Dil Tera Deewana (1962)"...

Here are a few instrumentals of some of the popular songs from the film...

[swarapriya]

(Majrooh) Samson (1964)

This Mumtaz-Dara Singh starrer also had Ameeta and Feroze Khan in important roles. As in any typical Dara’s movies, he shows his might in doing the right things. There are only five songs in the movie but three of them are pretty to listen to. All but one song was picturized on Ameeta. The other song, “Poochho Na”, a fine one, was a qawwali starring then Qawwali Queen, Shakeela Bano Bhopali. Lata’s solo “Khuda Kare” is another good song. But the standout song of the album is Asha’s stirring rendition of “Teri Deed Se”. An absolute beauty.

Here are these and other songs from this film…

(Rajinder Krishan) Patang (1960)

This movie was based on the 1954 National Film Award Winner Telugu film “Pedda Manushulu”. Whereas the Telugu original was a scathing study of so called leaders of the society, the Hindi film does not even come close to its source and in the end disappoints.

In the titles, the Hindi film wrongly credits K.V. Reddy as the story writer. Reddy was the director of the Telugu film. The story of the Telugu film was written by D.V. Narasa Raju. The Telugu film itself was loosely based on Henrik Ibsen’s classic satirical play “The Pillars of the Society”.

Chitragupt was at the helm of the music. Rajinder Krishanji wrote dialogues of the film and lyrics for the songs. The song “Yeh Duniya” appears throughout the film. This song almost sounds like “Chal Ud Jaa Re” from the 1957 Hindi hit “Bhabhi”. Incidentally the music for it was also composed by Chitraguptji. Also, Krishanji wrote its lyrics as well.

The songs and lyrics of this film are about average. All songs sung by Rafi Saab were picturized on the character actor Om Prakash.

I am uploading all songs from this film below…

(Shailendra) Sapan Suhane (1961)

When Balraj Sahni sings solos, duets and starts swinging his fists you know the film is going to be pretty bad. After watching the entire movie my expectations of it did not change. The only redeeming feature of the film was its music. Salilda gave a couple of good songs. His future wife, Sabita Banerjee, sang a solo and a duet.

The best song of the album to me is “Chaand Kabhi”. This one seems to be inspired by Burmanda’s 1955 hit from “House No. 44”, Lata’s memorable song “Phaili Hui Hai”.

Here are the songs from this film…

[swarapriya]

(Anand Bakshi) Humjoli (1970)

This film was based upon the 1964 Tamil hit “Panakkara Kudumbam”. It was later remade in Kannada and Telugu. This is another routine family drama that offered no redeeming value. Only thing going for it was comedian Mahmood who played three roles. But even that act eventually gets on your nerves. Jeetendra, like in the movie “Himmat (1970)’ that was reviewed earlier here, looked overweight with his tummy bulging out. The skintight clothes did not help the matters. In later years Jeetendra took care of his weight problems and looked good and fit. Mumtaz appeared as a guest in the dance number (“Tik Tik Tik”).

LP had a couple of good songs in the film. These are “Dhal Gaya Dinn” and “Haaye Re Haaye”. Both songs were huge hits. I am also uploading a version song of “Haaye Re Haaye”. Even though this song is from a CD, for some reason Babul Supriyo’s voice is feeble in the recording and not intelligible. But Sargam’s is fine. I am including this song at a lower bit rate.

I am uploading all songs in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Hariyali aur Rasta (1962)

Many of the popular movies of 60’s owe much of their success to fine music. This film was no exception. Thanks to its beautiful music by Shankar & Jaikishan, who were ably assisted by Dattaram & Sebastian, the movie became popular.

The movie was very formulaic and borrowed from several previous hit films especially the 1960 “Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai”.

Mahendra Kapoor did not sing too many songs for S&J. This was the first film he sang for them. The song “Kho Gaya Hai” became enormously popular. In the movie it was filmed on a boatman with the hero Manoj wandering on the banks of the river looking for his beloved oblivious of the fact that she was laying unconscious inside that very boat.
