(Shakeel) Rukhsana (1955)

Now the songs from this album...

(Anand Bakshi) Badshah (1964)

This Dara Singh-starrer was a black & white movie with all songs and the climax picturized in colour. This was the vogue in 60’s with colour films just becoming popular. Many producers used to shoot songs in colour as during these times availability of colour film was tight and there were too may governmental restrictions on importing colour film. For people like Mehboob Khan (“Aan” in 1952) and Sohrab Modi (“Jhansi ki Rani” in 1953) this was not a problem. These folks had high level political influence (for example Mehboob Khan was a friend of then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru). But B-grade film makers, like this one, for lack of colour film availability were forced to shoot their films only partly in colour.

Of the six songs in this film five were sung by Asha. She had four solos and a duet with Purnima Seth. In 60’s the Qawwali Queen Shakeela Bano Bhoplai used to make frequent appearances in films to sing qawwalis. Even though she can sing for herself, in this film she did not. In the DVD from which I ripped all these songs, it appeared like the qawwali, “Mohabbat Mein Agar Daaman” is not complete. Here is this and other songs from this film…

(Anand Bakshi) Jabse Tumhen Dekha Hai (1963)

Here are the songs from this film...

DSP,
Thanks for one more gem!

In the movie, all the songs are by Shailendra Mahan except this only qawwalli by Anand Bakshi Sahab, & it had made him the show stealer lyricist ….. ‘Tumhe Hushn Deke Khuda Ne..’.

I also loved his another qawwalli from Kala Samander ‘Meri Tasveer Lekar Kay Karoge’.

During ‘golden era’, ‘qawwalli’ was a trend in every movie. Gone are the days now

During the sixties era, Rafi & Lata had partitioned hence IMO the female singers in this qawwalli are Asha & Suman (not Lata). Pl comment.

BTW, uploading sweet humming by Geeta Bali ‘Ye Din, Din Hain Khushi Ke’, coutesy of HFM..


USR

Thanks for the snippet USR. About the qawwali singers. You could be right. I am hoping someone with the KOSH can come forward and clarify this.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
S

Dear Swarapriya & Usrafian
definately very pleasant Qawwali
according to HFGK this qawwali is sung by Mannadewy Rafi Sahab Lataji & asha ji.
if you hear it is sure Lataji,s voice.

(Rajinder Krishan) Chacha Chowdhary (1953)

The story of this film revolves around a mentally deranged man who is committed to a lunatic asylum. He escapes the asylum and finds a place in a house with a disarrayed family who mistook him for their rich uncle. In due course, the man who is supposed to be crazy solves everyone’s problems in the household who are driving each other and themselves crazy. A very interesting premise for a story but Raja Paranjape, the actor who played Chacha and directed the film, distracts the main storyline with too many trifle things. In the end, what should have been a gripping drama based on a powerful story, even though has its moments, ends up as just another ordinary and forgettable film.

This is another Madan Mohanji’s album without Lataji’s songs. However Asha does beautifully well in all of her songs. My favorite song of the album is “Jaa Dekhi”.

I have no clue who the singer of the classical raga song “Bahaar Aaye”. I am requesting members to fill in the blanks if they have any information. Here is this and other fine songs from this film…

Dear Swarapriya
According to HFGK DEKHO DEKHO YE GOKUL KA CHOR is not mentioned under CHACHA CHOWDHRY Title.
Can somebody identify this song.
thanks

My Dear Taiyab,

I am pretty sure this song is taken from this film's DVD. I am not able to verify this at this moment but I believe that I got it from this film's DVD. When I have time I will verify if this is the case or not.

Cheers,

(Javed Akhtar) Hafta Bandh (1991)

There is one good song in this otherwise an average album. The song is “Aye Haseena”. It has rich lyrics by Javed Akhtar Saab, fine music by Bappida, and great singing by Kumar Sanu. Here is this and other songs from this album in two back-to-back posts…

Here are the rest of the songs from this album including Kumar Sanu's beautiful song "Aye Haseena"...

(Majrooh) Sailaab (1956)

Mukul Roy, the music director of this film and a brother of late Geeta Dutt, was intent on making this film at any cost. Strapped for money, he went to his sister Geetaji seeking help. To help her brother, Geetaji decided to co-produce the film. When Guru Dutt was approached to direct the film, he advised Geetaji against investing on the project. But Guru has to yield and finally agreed to direct the film.

When the film was made and released it was a financial disaster. Geetaji put all her savings into the project. With the money gone and the losses suffered, she declared herself as insolvent.

Only thing that is still remembered about the movie is its music and songs. Apparently there are nine songs in the film with Geetaji singing nine of them. I am uploading eight songs here, six of Geetaji’s. One missing song is shown in red italics in the table below. I am requesting members to share this song if they can. I have an extended version of the song “Jiyara” that is 36 seconds longer. These seconds either precede or follow the song and its content is music only. I am not uploading it here.

Here is a rare treat of some excellent songs from this beautiful album…

I am uploading nine songs here, seven of Geetaji’s. Two missing songs are shown in red italics in the table below. I am requesting members to share these if they can. All songs are of decent quality except for “Chaand Ke Aansoo”. Because of the noise in the song, I am uploading it at a lower bit rate. I have an extended version of the song “Jiyara” that is 36 seconds longer. These seconds either precede or follow the song and its content is music only. I am not uploading it here.

Dear Swarapriya
The song Kisi ke pyaar ki tasveer & CHAND KE AANSOO SHABNAM are same songs.
the song you requested NAHIN DER KARO is not in the list of HFGK, & there are only 9 songs listed.
thanks
taiyab
