Shammi Kapoor, His Movies & His Songs Options

[toyo]

College Girl (1960)

Shammi and Shankar & Jaikishan are back together. The music duo who were experimenting with who should be the singing voice for Shammi, finally settled down with Rafi Saab. The team of Shammi-Rafi-Shankar-Jaikishan will churn out awsome hits in the years to come.

There are eight songs in this movie. I am uploading seven of them here. I am missing one song. This is shown in red italics below. Requesting the Forum membership to share this song if they have it. I am also uploading four extended versions of the songs. These are courtesy of the Forum members.

Now for details of the songs and the songs themsleves ...

I was not knowing about this movie. I was only aware of the movie with the same title released in the 70s which had music by Bappi Lahiri, from which “Pyaar Maanga Hai Tumhi Se” is still a rage.

Few days back one of my friend just asked whether I have the songs of “College Girl” starring Shammi Kapoor & Vyjayatimala, which I don’t have. Then I started hunting for these songs in the net and ultimately landed in this Forum. Soon I registered and became a member just yesterday.

Don’t know at this stage I can dl these songs, which I have to clarify with the Admin. But I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing the songs of this movie here.

Swami Vivekananda (1995/1998)

This movie was completed in 1995 but for various reasons it was not released until 1998. It was considered for the National awards for 1995 and Mithun Chakraborty, who plays Rama Krishna Parama Hamsa, walked away as the best supporting actor for that year.

Interestingly, originally Naseeruddin Shah was cast for the role Mithun eventually played. But under the pressure brought by the Hindu extremists, producers have to drop the idea of a Muslim playing a Brahmin's role in this movie. When Mithun, a Bengali Brahmin, was cast in the role replacing Shah, the folks who protested vehemently threatened to stop any pogress of the movie, quieted down.

Several film personalities from Bombay appeared in the movie. Apparently they had only brief roles. I haven't seen the movie myself but was told that in the title role, Sarvadaman Banerjee was just about brilliant.

Producers took well over five yeas to complete the movie. But when the finished version was shown to the monks of Rama Krishna Mission, they objected to several scenes. One song was deleted and some of the scenes were reshot before it got their ffinal stamp of approval.

Salilda, who was always brilliant with his music compositions, does it again here. He composed all the songs for the movie but passed away before scoring its background music. B.V. Karant (also known as Vijay Bhaskar Rao) scored the background music.

Finaly, all these songs are by the courtesy of our fellow Forum member, Erum Hashmi. Thank you very very much Erum for such lovely songs.

I am uploadng these songs in back-to-back posts. Here is the first set ...

Megha (1996)

Here are songs from this album that I didn't know much of. But after a couple of hearings, I have developed some liking for them. The music was given by Ram Laxman (under his original name Vijay Patil). Yes, the same person who gave some great hits for the record breaking Madhuri Dixit-starrer "Huma Aap Ke Hai Kaun?". Because of the number of songs in this album, I am uploading them in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set ...

Namak (1996)

Apparently this movie started before Sanjay was in trouble with the law and took many years to complete even after he came out of the jail. Things changed so much that the music director Annu Malik became Anu Malik. The songs also reflect these troubles and are just so so.

I don't have names of the lyricists. I will be thankful if someone can help with this. Thank you. I am uploading the songs in back-to-back two posts. Here is the first set ...

Here is a typical album from Bappida. You got to give it to Bappi. There are 10 songs in this album and he uses talents of thirteen different singers including his own daughter. Because of the number of songs, I am uploading them in back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs ...
