(Kishore) Ganga ki Lahren (1964)
The following write up appeared in one of my earlier postings of this album... Savithri was one of the greatest actresses of Telugu cinema, if not of our times. If she were a Hindi actress, she would be right up there with Meena Kumari and Nargis. During 50’s and 60’s she was the reigning queen of both Telugu and Tamil films. She had the top billing in most of the movies. Her presence generally guaranteed success. Savithri started as a bit star in Telugu films like “Samsaaram” and “Patala Bhairavi”. When the producers gambled to take her to play Parvati in the classic “Devadasu (1953)” in Telugu opposite Akkineni Nageshwara Rao (ANR), many felt it was foolhardy. But when the film was released she received rave reviews for her performance matching ANR scene for scene and the movie enjoyed unprecedented success. There was no turning back for Savithri after this. “Devadasu” was also made and released in Tamil with the same pair at the same time and was also a resounding hit. This made Savithri a sought after star in Tamil as well. She continued to act in both languages and had a string of major hits to her credit. She ventured into Hindi movies when S.S. Vasan offered her a supporting role in “Bahut Din Huye” in 1954 with Madhubala in the lead. Subsequently she also appeared in “Ghar Basake Dekho (1963)” with Manoj Kumar, “Ganga Ki Lahren (1964)” with Dharmendra, and “Balram Shri Krishna (1968)” in which Prithviraj Kapoor was one of the stars. Savithri’s crowning achievement as an actress came with the film “Chivaraku Migiledi (1960)”. She received the National Award for Best Actress for her brilliant and memorable performance in that film. This was a remake of the Bengali movie starring Suchitra Sen. It was later remade into Hindi with Waheeda as “Khamoshi (1969)”. Savithri was married to the Tamil actor Gemini Ganeshan, father of actress Rekha. Ganeshan already had several wives. The less I say about this better. Later on they got separated. The depression of the separation was devastating to Savithri. Her life took for a sorry turn and in the end when she passed away at the young age of 44 she was broke and helpless and very heartbroken. How come all these brilliant actors seem to leave us so young leaving us to reminisce the rich legacy they left with us? It seems like the fate plays such a cruel joke with their personal lives. They seem to be on the top of the world giving so much pleasure with their many memorable performances in the films they act in and yet they are not able to manage their own personal lives. A real pity. There is a web site dedicated to Savithri, who acted in nearly 250 movies, mostly in Tamil and Telugu. The URL for this web site is: http://www.savithri.info I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. All songs are from an original soundtrack album except for one. The exception is the song “Ek Paise Ka Hai Sawaal”. This was contributed by one of our fellow members, Aditya Pant. Thanks for sharing this with us Aditya. Here are the songs in the first post… Attached image(s)

QUOTE(swarapriya @ May 31 2012, 11:24 PM)  QUOTE(nandi @ May 31 2012, 09:46 AM) Jaidev had not been at very good terms with Lata when word leaked out that Jaidev was planning to offer "Allah Tero Naam" to M S Subbalaxmi. When Lata heard of this, she, in her own charming way dissuaded Jaidev from calling M S S. She reportedly said something of why go outside of the "Family" when a "nacheez" like Lata was available. The greats like Lata had to be brilliant at their profession but they also had the sixth sense of preventing disaster. Who knows what would have happened if MSS has started in Hindi movies! Nandi, thanks for the note. MSS was a towering legend. She didn't need to sing in Hindi films to prove her prowess. She left enough of her work for generations to enjoy. There was nobody like her before, or since then. A great singing genius. Cheers, S Subhalaksmi Ji is only singer having Bharat Ratna award !!! She is truly a towering legend  USR Dil Shaad Tha Ke Phool Khilenge Bahaar Mein

(Dev) Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1961)
The songs from this film became a huge hit. However the movie didn't. I am uploading these songs in three back-to-back posts. The first two contain songs from the film. The third has some of the extended versions. Please note that the quality of these songs is variable from fair to good. I am uploading poorer quality songs in a lower bit rate. Also, Lata's version of "Tum Toh Dil Ki" is usually published as a solo in various CD collections. However, this is essentially the same as the duet version with Talat's humming that precedes and trails the song removed. Incidentally, I am including the duet version from the film also here. Here are the songs in the first post... Attached image(s)

(Kishore) Mr. X in Bombay (1964)
The music director duo Laxmikant & Pyarelal who made their stunning debut with "Parasmani" the previous year were busy giving music to several films following its unprecedented success. But the assignments came for "B" grade films. Even though most films made less than average business, their music remained a strong feature in all of them. This movie was one of them. Interestingly, this very same year, LP came up with the music score for their award winning "Dosti" that propelled them to the richly deserved position of ace music directors status. This was a very poor film except for its beautiful music. The song "Mere Mehboob" is Kishoreda's one of all time classics. There are many others that are equally good in this film. I am uploading these songs in three back-to-back posts. The first post contains songs from the film from an original soundtrack album. The second post contains some specials. The third post contains several instrumentals of the song "Mere Mehboob". Here are the songs in the first post... Attached image(s)

(Dev) Asli-Naqli (1962)
This simple story of discovering ones own true personal identity was directed by Hirishikesh Mukherjee. The movie has the regular drama but the show stealer was its music. Shankar & Jaikishan composed songs for this film that were all huge hits. The appeal of Sadhana's innocent looking charm with Dev's usual savvy helped the movie to become a modest success. I am uploading songs from this film in three back-to-back posts. The first post contains all songs from the film from an original soundtrack album. The second post contains some of the musical clips from the film. The third post contains extended versions of the songs. Here are the songs in the first post... Attached image(s)
