(Vyjayanti) Sitaron Se Aage (1958)

Here's one missing song from Sitaron Se Aage. I consider this to be one of the finest Lata song by SDB.

Mehfil Mein Aaye Wo - Sitaron Se Aage 1958 - Lata - SDB - 128 - 03:08

Aditya

Thank you very much for the song, Aditya. Cheers. -S

(Waheeda) Ram Aur Shyam (1967)

"Gunga Jumna (1961)" was the last major hit Dilip enjoyed until the release of "Ram Aur Shyam". With the huge money spent on it, "Leader (1964)" could barely garner its investment back. "Dil Diya Dard Liya (1966)" met a similar fate. Ironically the music by Naushadji was outstanding for all of these movies. Probably the commercial failure must have been irking in Naushadji’s mind when he was asked to compose the music for "Ram Aur Shyam". Here was a movie, first made in Telugu called "Ramudu Bheemudu (1964)" that was a runaway hit. It was remade in Tamil with equal success. When Dilipji was approached to play not one but two roles of twin brothers of the movie, he jumped at the opportunity to play a dual role for the first time in his career. When the movie was released and became a huge hit, the muisc didn't contribute much to its success. It was Naushadji's inferior effort. Yes. There are a couple of hummable tunes. But by and large it was not to the standard Naushadji set everybody's expectations to.

Incidentally, Vyjayanti Mala was originally cast to play one of the heroines in the movie. Two weeks of the movie also was in the can. This was the time when Vyjayanti Mala was drifting away from Dilipji and moving towards Raj Kapoor's camp. This irritated Dilipji to no end and he was in no mood to work with her as his costar. It was difficult to work for all those involved and the production was dragging under this cloud given the set of circumstances. Vyjayanti Mala was replaced almost immediately by Waheeda Rehman and the production went without a hitch afterwards.

This is another movie which fetched Dilip Saab the Best Actor award from Filmfare. It was almost a routine to expect his winning if he was in a movie. This movie also inspired later "Seeta Aur Geeta (1972)" with roles of twin brothers switched to twin sisters, played by Hema Malini. Salim and Javed took the credit for that story even though it was not their original idea.

I will upload songs from the Telugu film in this section when I am done with the songs of the Hindi version. Now for the details of the songs from the original sound track album of "Ram Aur Shyam" and the songs themselves ...

The first one is by Ramana Reddy and Relangi and the second one is a tit-for-tat sequel to the first one by Relangi!!!!!!!!!!

(Zeenat) The Great Gambler (1979)

Here is a stylish composition from RD. The songs fit the mood of the film which was kind of James Bondish that was shot in some exotic foreign locations. Shakti Samanta, who made so many great movies with Rajesh Khanna, like "Aradhana (1969)", "Kati Patang (1970)", "Amar Prem (1971)", and others, switched to Amitabh as his hero with this movie. Even though Amitabh was at the top of his popularity, the movie proved to be only a moderate success, mainly because of its spineless story premise.

Here are the details of the songs from the original soundtrack album and the songs themselves ...

(Asha) Kanyadaan (1969)

Here is another one of my favorite S&J album. Here every song is just beautifully done. Rafi Saab's both solos are like himself phenomenally great. Then there is a typical Lata number that has to appear in an S&J album. I am referring here to the song "Mil Gaye". The song really is beautifully sung by Lata, an expert at these type of songs.

I am uploading songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. Now for the details of the songs from the original songtrack album and the songs themselves ...

Concluding Songs from "Kanyadaan (1969)" ...

I am including in this post a version song of "Meri Zindagi" by Sonu Nigam. This is taken from the album "Never Forget Me - Mohd. Rafi".

Here are the rest of the songs ...

Excellent description! Just another example about how Rafisaab imortalised compositions, a rare and unique aspect exclusive to Rafisaab only.
