Hamlet (1954)

Kishore Sahu's "Hamlet (1954)" was Mala Sinha's first breakthrough movie in Hindi. This was the movie in which her performance was noticed by cinegoers and reviewers alike. The music for this film was composed by Ramesh Naidu. An informative write up and some of his Hindi film work was brought to our attention by Mahesh in his fine thread "Ramesh Naidu - the Andhra Giant, his hindi filmography" in "Sangeet Ke Sitarey" section. Per this thread there are five songs in this movie. Two of these were uploaded by Mahesh. You can access these songs at the following path ...

Apart from these two, thanks to Mahesh for these two, I don't have any other songs. I am requesting members to share these if they can.

Stree (1961)

Mumtaz appeared in several Shantaram movies this being the first one. Even though she appeared in bit roles in his films, later she bacame a full fledged heroine in one of his movies.

Shantaram remade his "Shakuntala (1943)" as "Stree". Shakuntala starred Jayashri, mother of actress Rajashri, and wife of Shantaram. It was a huge hit. "Stree" starring Sandhya, Jayashri's sister, was also a hit. A much older Shantaram starred opposite a younger Sandhya. When critics pointed out this he told them that if only they read the story of Shakuntala carefully they will realize that Dushayanta in the story was much older to Shakuntala as well. Shantaram eventually married Sandhya after divorcing Rajashri.

This movie boasts some of the most beautiful music composed by C. Ramchandra. He was following the huge success of "Navrang" for Shantaram with this movie. He came through in flying colors. Whereas in "Navrang" all female songs were sung by Asha Bhosle, Lata was back this time for "Stree". Lata and Ramchandra amended their differences and started worked together again. This movie also boasts some of the rich lyrics written by the incomparable Bharat Vyas.

According to "EarthMusic" there are 13 songs in this movie. My CD only has nine songs. I am uploading all of them here. The missing songs are shown in red italics in the table below. If anyone of you have these songs, please share with rest of us.

Now for the songs ...

Dear Swarapriya,

Thank you for uploading these rare songs. I had seen this movie about 45 years ago and still remember it quite well. I remember a song ' Jaao laadli Pati ke sang tum sukhi raho'. If any one has it, please upload.

Amma Kosam (1970) - A Telugu Movie

Rekha's second film also was in Telugu. This time she had the lead role. I am uploading seven songs from this album here. The music for this album was composed by Aadi Narayana Rao who became famous and wellknown with the cinegoing folks throughout India with that smashing score of score of "Suvarna Sundari".

These songs are from a LP. Almost all songs are of pretty good quality. The song "Ade Ade" had a slight click at about 1 minute 50 seconds into that song. This is the only blemish in all the songs. Balasubramanyam (also called as Balu) was a relative newcomer at the time these songs were recorded. You can see how tender his voice is.

Here is description of the songs and the songs themselves ...

Baap Beti (1954)

This was Asha Parekh's second movie as baby Asha. The great Bimal Roy directed the movie and Roshan provided its music. Unfortunately I don't have a single song from this movie. I am requesting members to share these if they can. Thanks.

This film had 4 songs, all sung by Lata Mangeshkar. I am uploading the songs, but the sound quality is just about average.

1. Koyal Bole Koo - posted here.
2. Andhere Se Ujale Tak - Baap Beti - Lata - Roshan - 128 - 3:09

3. Duniya Bananewale Ramji - Baap Beti - Lata - Roshan - 128 - 3:01

4. Le Chal Ri Nindiya - Baap Beti - Lata - Roshan - 128 - 3:08

Can't get enough Roshan music. Great posting.

Parakh (1960)

Great Bimal Roy made this sweet little movie based on Salil Chowdhury's story. Chowdhury also provided its music, at once sweet and endearing. There are several beautiful songs in this album with "O Sajna" being a standout. I am also including a slightly longer version of "Mila Hai". This song is by the courtesy of the Forum members. Its quality is just about average.

Here are the songs ...

SP..another of finest pictures. I discovered this movie recently and to my great pleasure found the movie to be as contemporary as today's films. Bimal Da, one of my favorite directors poured his heart out for this film. Made on a shoe string budget no doubt, it creates a lasting magic.
Just to narrate the story...one day in a rural village, the local post master receives a cheque for Rupees five lakhs sent by a person who hailed from that village and now is settled abroad. The purpose is for the upliftment of the village..The little note sent along with cheque discloses that and leaves the onus on the post master to select a person who can do justice to the monies involved !
The hapless postman who is very honest calls up a meeting with the local Zamindar, priest, Teacher and Showcar ( merchant ) and narrates the purpose. Now, the teacher suggests that there should be a voting to select the person who can disburse the amount for the genuine cause... Then starts the rat race between the contestants even as the benefactor keeps on looking at the circus going around surreptiously..
Woven into this interesting story is the love story of the school master with the village belle sadhana.. She looks lovely in this film.
where is meaningful cinema gone these days?? i wonder...and what happened to the wonderful music?
Btw, i have a better copy of " mila hai kisi ka jhumka" courtesy a dear friend. Uploading the same for you all.
SP...needless to say, your zeal and the films you pick are exemplary ! thanks a lot.

Shaadi (1962)

Here are the songs from Saira Banu's second movie. I am mising one song. This is shown in red italics in the table below. If you can, please kindly share it with us.

I don't think here's a Lata version of Jisko Jalne Ki Parvah. These are the starting lines of Rafi-Manna duet Log To Baat Ka Afsana, which you have already uploaded.

IMDB lists Kanu Ghosh and Sebastian as Assistant Music Directors. Could the unknown singer in the chorus song be one of them?

Waqt (1965)

Here is a start-studded movie with some beautiful music composed by Ravi to Sahir Ludhianvi's sweet and rich lyrics. Because of the lengths of the songs I will post these songs back-to-back in two posts. Here is the first set of songs ...
