(Dilip) Shikast (1953)

Here is a beautiful album from the energetic team of S&J that was composed during early years of their professional career. As usual was the case with their work during this and ensuing many years, the songs from this album are all just beautiful to listen to. There are several lovely songs in this album but my favorites are both of the solos by Talat Saab.

I will upload these songs in two back-to-back posts. Here are the details of the the first set of songs from this original soundtrack album and the songs themselves ...

Concluding Songs from "Shikast (1953)" ...

Here are the rest of the songs from this album. I am also including here a special version of the song "Sapnon Ki" with an introduction by Dilip Kumar. This is taken from the album, "Legends: Talat Mahmood - The Silken Voice (CD2)". Dilipji has some real nice words to say about Talat Saab.

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

Hi,

There is another song rendered by Lata in this movie 'O ghan sanware'. Does anybody has that song?

(Kishore) Bhai Bhai (1956)

This is another great album from Madan Mohan Saab. Interestingly, if you take a typical Madanji's album, Lata has the bulk of songs and most of them made history. Lata also has six solos in this album, that are all good. But it is one song that stands out from any in this fine album. It is Geetaji's unforgettable "Aye Dil Mujhe Bata De". It is a song that in her mesmerizing voice is transformed into a thing of utter beauty. The sweetness of her voice, the seductive traces in her tone, a lovely composition to some fine lyrics, all these come together to make a definitive statement about the romance in the air. It's too bad that Geetaji didn't get to sing too many songs for Madan Saab.

This movie was a runaway hit thanks to its beautiful music. M.V. Raman, the director of the film, teams up here with his favorite Kishoreda minus Vyjayanti Mala but results are the same. A winning combination.

I am uploading all songs from the original soundtrack album and some specials in two back-to-back posts. Now for the details of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves ...

Concluding Songs from "Bhai Bhai (1956)" ...

Here are the rest of the songs from this beautiful album. I am also uploading a couple of specials. I am including here the song "Aye Dil Mujhe Bata De" with Preeti Sagar's introduction. Sagar has a couple of beautiful things to say about Geetaji. This is taken from the album "Legends: Geeta Dutt - The Voice of Passion (CD 3)". I am also including a special version of the song "Kadar Jaane Na" with a lovely introduction by the legendary ghazal singer Begum Akhtar. This is taken from the album "Legends: Madan Mohan - The Instinctive Genius (CD 1)".

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

Another great album, and another set of little pieces of information from my side!

AVM as most of us know was one of the most powerful film productions of the south India in forties and fifties. Lyricist Rajinder Krishan was a very close associate of AVM. He was a versatile speaker of Tamil. Practically all the Hindi films made under AVM banner in those years had Rajinder sahab as the lyricist, irrespective of who the composer was. He even wrote the dialogues of many of those films, a fact not known to many.

Regarding the song "Aye dil mujhe bataa de". It has been well documented that Madan sahab was not interested in composing this song. He did it only on insistence of the producer. His lack of interest is evident in the not-so-great tune and relatively indifferent musical pieces between the stanzas. Compared to the very high standards of the lyrics by Rajinder sahab, this was a relatively mediocre effort. But it is Geeta ji who breathes life in this song and makes it a timeless classic. This must be one of the very few incidents in Hindi film music where a song filmed on a vamp has become more popular than songs filmed on main heroine or other "nice" female characters. Shyama lights up the screen with her pleasing personality and Geeta ji glides on the song taking it to pinnacles of melodious beauty.

This song is even counted in the list of Madan sahab's topmost popular songs. It is unfortunate that he chose not to give more songs to Geeta ji, yet she has won our hearts with this one song itself.

Cheers
Parag

P.S. Swarapriya, I have taken the liberty of sharing your valuable information and the song by Geeta ji on my Facebook account.

Thank you very much Parag. As always you're full of anecdotes that I am not aware of. I am glad better senses prevailed and this song came about.
