May be so. The date I got probably reflects when the song was released. Thanks for the info.

(Anand Bakshi) Jawan Mard (1966)

I have only one song available from this movie that I am uploading here. There seem to be at least five other songs that I am missing. These are shown in red italics in the table below. I am requesting members to kindly share these or any others not listed here from this film if they can. Thank you.

Here is the only song I have from this album...

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Do Phool (1958)

This film is an adaptation of the famous children’s book “Heidi”. The book was written by the Swiss author Johanna Spyri in 1880. It is one of the best known in Swiss literature and is one of the best-selling books in the world. It was made into a movie nearly 30 times in various languages and spanned several television series both episodic as well as animated throughout the world. Even though adapted, “Do Phool” kept the spirit of the original book intact.

The music for the film was composed by Vasant Desai. There are several beautiful songs in the film like “Aayi Pari”, “Main Buzubaan”, and others. I am uploading these and others in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Javed Akhtar) Angaaray (1998)

Even though Mahesh Bhatt produced and directed many fine films based on original material, he also famously made many movies based on English films without an iota of acknowledgement. This is one of those films. However he was not the producer. It was adapted from the 1990 English film “State of Grace” that starred twice Oscar winning actor Sean Penn. Penn’s movie was critically acclaimed but fared badly at the box-office. Bhatt took the material and Indianized making it into a taut and well-made thriller. Akshay Kumar who led the cast performed all his own stunts including some risky ones. The female characters have little to do in the film. Most of the supporting actors performed well. The movie was a decent hit.

Only five years later Mahesh Bhatt decided to make this movie once gain. This time he hired Vikram Bhatt to direct it. The movie starring Aftab Shivdasani, “Footpath”, was a flop.

There are two music directors for this film, Aadesh Shrivastava and Anu Malik. In general Mahesh Bhatt’s films have some very good songs. This film has some decent ones but a cut below Bhatt’s other movies. I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set…

(Majrooh) Zimbo (1958)

Homi Wadia produced and directed this film in which he introduced actor Azad in the title role. It may be a new hero and a new name for the ape-man hero “Zimbo”, but the movie was simply a remake of “Tarzan”. However, the movie was a surprise hit with several popular songs in it and spawned two sequels, also starring Azad.

(Shakeel) Door Ki Awaz (1964)

Devendra Goel introduced Ravi as a music director in his film “Vachan” in 1955. Incidentally the film also introduced Rajendra Kumar. The songs from that film were hit, especially Asha’s solo “Chandamaama Door Ke”. After that successful debut, Ravi was a constant for most movies either produced or directed by Goel. This film was one of them.

In this film Ravi once again joins hands with Shakeel Saab. All songs from this film were huge hits. Out of the nine songs in the film, Rafi Saab had five solos and two duets. The other two are solos by Asha. Of all the Rafi Saab’s songs from this film the one that became most popular was “Husn Se”. The song was almost picturized like the title song from Guru Dutt’s “Chaudvin ka Chand (1961)”. Incidentally that song also had the combined talents of Shakeel Saab and Ravi.

I am uploading “Husn Se” and other songs from the film in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set…

(Anand Bakshi) Pati Patni (1966)

This was the second association of Anand Bkashi Saab with R.D. Burman. Their first association was in 1965 for the film “Teesra Kaun”. It did not set anything on fire. But that changed with this film. Several songs from this album, sublime to zany, became very popular. This foundation paved the way to the hit parade this pair was collaborated with, in nearly 100 films.

My favorites from the album are the solos by Lataji. Lataji had three solos, even though the song “Saare Jagat” is the continuation of “Naa Mujh Mein”. But the song of the album is Lataji’s stirring and mellifluous rendition of “Kajre Badarwa”. If you did not know that the music was composed by RD, a listening to this song can easily convinces that it has to be Senior Burman’s music. The musical arrangement was that impeccably close to SD’s trademark imprint.
