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.

(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…

(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.

(Majrooh) Aakash Deep (1965)

Phani Majumdar directed this total misfire from his own story. The movie wanted to show the difficulties faced by well-meaning but inflexible stubborn people (Ashok Kumar played the principal protagonist). But it falters by moving in many directions with plots and subplots that slow down the narrative. Also, it does not add any value to the proceedings.

That said I should mention that there are at least two very beautiful songs in this film. Both Chitagupt, the music director, and the lyricist, Majroohji, rose to give us Lata’s exceptional beauty “Dil Ka Diya” and Rafi Saab’s “Mujhe Dard-E-Dil”.

I have separated these songs into two groups based on their quality. I am uploading better quality songs @192 KBPS (Post 1) and lower quality songs @128 KBPS (Post 2).

Here are the songs in the first post…

(Rajinder Krishan) Chhaya (1961)

It is surprising that Hrishida directed this film for AVM Productions. Surprise because there is nothing novel in the story. It is very predictable from the beginning to end. No situations in the film that call for Hrishida’s handling them with his usual ease and élan. Only one who took seriously about the goings on seems to be the music director of the film, Salilda. His handful of composition of songs all are simply superb. Talat gets to sing several songs, three solos and a duet. He comes through beautifully. I should also mention that Rajinder Krishanji was equally at task by penning fine lyrics for the songs.

(Anand Bakshi) Ishq Par Zor Nahin (1970)

Ramesh Saigal directed this film from his own hodge-podge of a storyline. There are many characters in the film who come and go and their role is neither properly defined nor fully developed.

Sadhana, the central figure of the film, was going through rough time in her life during the filming of this movie with health problems due to thyroid. Only few years back she charmed millions of movie goers with her coy smile, elegant beauty, and understated acting skills. But that was then. Nevertheless she gave a convincing performance. Dharmendra was passable but the surprise of the film was Biswajeet. I never cared for his acting skills but in a pivotal role in this film he came through convincingly. Incidentally, this was the only film in which both Dharmendra and Biswajeet worked with Sadhana.

The highlight of the film was the combination of Burmanda working with Bakshi Saab. SD composed beautiful songs for the rich lyrics penned by Anandji. Too bad these have to be wasted on such a bad film.

I am uploading all songs and some specials in three back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…
