Vijay

Vijay, thank you very much for your kind words. It is a good feeling when someone appreciates your efforts and takes time to tell.

I am not certain who the singer Bhushan is. There is a singer named Bhushan Mehta who sang in a few movies like "Aatish" and "Fakira" in 70's. However I suspect that this Bhushan may be a different person. May be some of our knowledgeable members can throw light on this.

Thank you again and welcome back Vijay.

Cheers,
S

(Javed Akhtar) Bhookamp (1993)

Here are the songs from this album...

[swarapriya]

(Majrooh) Mr. X (1957)

All these songs are from a CD. However, their audio quality is not that impressive. For this reason I have decided to upload these songs at a slightly lower bit rate.

Some of the songs from this album were extremely popular. Rafi Saab’s “Laal Laal Gaal” was a chartbuster. My personal favorite is the beauty by Asha, the song “Kitna Haseen”. Here are these and other songs from this album…

(Rajinder Krishan) Ilzam (1954)

This early album from Madan Mohanji is another one where his favourite singer Lataji did not sing any songs. However, Asha fills the bill finely. The quality of these songs seem to be as if they are from old gramophone records. They are slow. The audio of almost all of them is fine with the following exceptions. The last 10 seconds of the song “Dekhoon Kab Tak” is a bit noisy. So is the beginning 15 seconds of the song “Yeh Jag Rain”. Here are these and other songs from this album…

(Shailendra) Dilli Darbar (1956)

I have only a couple of songs from this album, both thanks to the courtesy of the Forum members. Some of the missing songs are shown in red italics in the table below. I am requesting members to share these if they can. Thank you.

Here are the two songs I have...

(Anand Bakshi) Yaadein (1964)

This movie holds the distinction of the only one-actor film in the world. Sunil Dutt acted, produced, and directed this film based on a story by his wife Nargis Dutt. Nargis appeared in silhouette at the end of the movie.

The movie featured some of the fine cartoons done by the late Mario (please see at the bottom of the table in Post 2). World renowned Mario Miranda (see his picture below) was a painter and cartoonist. He worked with many magazines but became famous for his contributions to the magazine, The Illustrated Weekly of India. He was a Padma Bhushan recipient.

Mario traveled all over the world exhibiting his work. He published several books on the subjects of cartooning and painting. He also provided illustrations for books written by other notable authors. His works grace walls of many locations in Mumbai.

I am posting songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. The first post contains songs and the second contains instrumentals. Here are the songs in the first post…

Music Clips from "Yaadein (1964)"...

Here are a few music clips from the film...

(Shakeel) Malik (1958)

I am uploading some of the songs from this film below. It appears like that I am missing at least three songs. These are listed in red italics in the table below. I am requesting members to share these with rest of us if they can. Thank you.

Here are the songs I have...

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Seema (1955)

Songs from this album were uploaded recently in this very thread. These are available starting at the following location...

(Javed Akhtar) Gardish (1993)

This movie introduced two new actors in Aishwarya (not Aishwarya Rai) and Mukesh Rishi. Annu Kapoor has one of the most hilarious roles in the film as an unemployed graduate. He mistakenly becomes a beggar who eventually becomes rich employing people for begging.

Here are the songs from this album…

(Majrooh) Nau Do Gyarah (1957)

This film was the first directorial venture for Vijay Anand, Dev’s younger brother who also wrote its story. Earlier Vijay wrote the screenplay for “Taxi Driver (1954)’ and collaborated in writing the screenplay with his other brother Chetan Anand for “Funtoosh (1956)”. Vijay, fondly known as Goldie, also had a cameo in “Funtoosh”.

“Nau Do Gyarah” became a huge hit and Goldie followed with many other winners for Dev including the widely acclaimed smash hit “Guide (1965)”.

The music for this film by Burmanda is charmingly melodious. All of the songs joined the hit parade when the movie was released and even today, after 56 plus years, they have not lost their charm.

Incidentally, Majrooh Sultanpuri, who wrote the beautiful lyrics for the movie, generated controversy with the song “Aankhon Mein Kya Ji”. The part of the song, “Aanchal Mein Kya Ji … Ajab Si Hulchul”, was at the center of the controversy. This is much before Anand Bakshi Saab wrote the famous song “Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai” for “Khal Nayak” in 1993. Apparently things haven’t changed that much in 36 plus years.

I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. In the second post, I am including a special version of “Hum Hai Raahi” with Dev’s introduction. Dev talks here the guiding philosophy of his life and how this song intertwined with it.

Here are the songs in the first post…

Concluding Songs from "Nau Do Gyarah (1957)"...

Here are the rest of the songs from this fine album...

[swarapriya]

(Rajinder Krishan) Kavi (1954)

I am uploading most of the songs from this album below. It appears like I may be missing three songs listed in red italics in the table below. If indeed this is the case, I am requesting members to please share these with rest of us if they can. Thank you.

(Shailendra) Halaku (1956)

This otherwise predictable drab drama has two redeeming features in it. One is Pran. The other is its music. Pran, one of the great actors of the Indian films, played the title role. He played the grandson of the fearsome Mongole king Chengiz Khan. As his descendant he is bent upon to live up to his grandpa’s name and fame. Even though Pran Saab played a baddie, he has a soft corner that eventually (by the end of the movie) takes over his conscience to do a good deed.

The other noteworthy thing about the film is its music. S&J kept busy churning out hit after hit in movie after movie. This film was no exception. There are eight songs in the film. Lata sang all of them with five solos and three duets. The album has many good songs in it but my favourite is the duet “Dil Ka Na Karna”. This is no ordinary run of the mill duet. It is different because how Rafi Saab joins Lataji at the end of each mukhda with full of feeling in his voice that touches ones heart. Here is this and other songs from this fine album…
