(Rekha) Saal Solvan Chadya (1977) - A Punjabi Film

Rekha appeared as a guest in this Punjabi film. There are some beautiful songs in this album, thanks to the lovely songs of Dilraj Kaur. When I first listened to these songs, for a moment I thought I was hearing Asha sing. Kaur's voice has such an uncanny resemblance to that of Asha. But Kaur is her own person as many of her songs in Hindi have shown.

I am uploading eight songs from this film with Kaur singing six of them. It looks like I am still missing a few songs from this album. These are shown in red italics in the table below. If you can, please kindly share these missing songs with rest of us. Thank you.

Here is the lovely voice of Dilraj Kaur and the voices of other equally good singers...

(Sharmila) Sunny (1984)

After their successful debut the previous year with "Betaab", Sunny Deol and Amrita Singh were paired again for the second time. It was also a second movie for each one of them. Repeating the formula of "Betaab", the producers retained the services of RD for music direction and Anand Bakshi for lyrics for this Raj Khosla directed venture.

I am uploading songs form this fine album in two back-to-back posts. Interestingly, the beautiful song "Jaane Kya Baat Hai" by Lata was based on RD's own tune in Bengali. It was the song "Chokhe Name Brishti" sung by Asha for a non-filmi album. (I am including this song here.) For some curious reason, RD had here Lata sing the song based on the same tune. Asha, many years later paying tribute to RD, sang the Hindi version herself. I am including this version song here. It is taken from her album, "Asha Reveals Real R.D. Burman (Disc 1)".

Here are the songs in the first post...

SP,

Thank you very much for Sunny album.

Congratulations for becoming fourth highest contributor (in terms of posts) to HF. It is not simply the shear volume, your posts are very widely read.
BTW, among top four, three contributors are female members.

Thank you very much Exon. I am not sure what those numbers mean. But your kind words make me feel so much better.

I am having so much fun sharing this tiny treasure lode of legacy music. It is such a vast ocean. I realize that I am only making an infinitesimal contribution. But the pleasure I derive from doing this makes it just worthwhile to move forward with unabated enthusiasm and undying zeal.

Music is forever.

Cheers,

(Vyjayanti) Ganwaar (1970)

After getting married in 1968, Vyjayanti Mala started phasing out from her movie commitments. This movie, "Ganwaar" was the last mainstream movie that she starred in. She did appear after a 19 year gap in a movie called "Ladki" in 1989 that went unnoticed.

Songs from this album were recently uploaded in the "Saat Saath" thread in the "Sangeet ke Sitarey" section. These are available starting at the following location...

(Mala) Do Kaliyan (1968)

This movie was based on AVM’s multilingual film that was made in all four Southern Indian languages; Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. It was a runaway hit in every language. It was only natural that it was remade in Hindi. In Hindi also the movie was a hit.

The film was loosely based on Walt Disney’s “Parent Trap” that was originally made in 1961 with Hayley Mills and then remade in 1998 with Lindsay Lohan. These movies were based on “Das Doppette Lottchen (“The Double Lotttie”)” by Erich Kaestner, a German writer. It was translated into English under the name “Lottie and Lisa”. But Kaestner’s book itself was inspired from an English film in which Deanna Durbin starred called “Three Smart Girls”. This story revolves around three little sisters who try to reunite their separated parents. It was made in 1936. Its story was credited to Adele Comandini and Austin Parker.

The Hindi film starred Baby Neetu Singh as the twin girls. The credits carried her name as Baby Sonia. This was her third film. She initially starred in 1966 in “Dus Lakh” under the same name. She also appeared uncredited the same year, 1996, in the film “Suraj”. Not long after she starred in the hit film “Do Kaliyan” in 1968, she made her debut as a heroine of “Rikshawala” in 1972 opposte her future brother-in-law to be, Randhir Kapoor. The movie flopped. But the very next year the hit film “Yaadon Ki Baaraat” in which she had a smaller role but a sensational dance number gave her career a lift.

The name of the Telugu movie was “Letha Manasulu”. It was released in 1966. I will upload songs from this film in this same thread immediately after I am done with uploading Hindi songs.

The Hindi film songs are from an original soundtrack. I will upload them in two back-to-back posts. Here are the songs in the first post…
