Is mein duniya o duniya walon - what a beautiful song.
Geet nahi bansakte is a fantastic melody.
A hum e hde wafa karlein is timless.

great album.

(Amitabh) Ek Nazar (1972)

Here is another Jaya-Amitabh starrer with all beautiful songs. They all sound very much like ghazals. Lata's song "Humeen Karen Koi Soorat Unhen Bulaane Ki", a beautiful one it is, sounds almost like Madan Mohanji's composition. Per EarthMusic website, I may be missing a song shown in red italics in the table below. If indeed this is the case, please kindly share. Thank you.

(Manoj) Dr. Vidya (1962)

Here is another brilliant work from Burmanda. Lata dominates with several solos and a duet. Mukesh Saab makes that occasional appearance for Burmanda with a beautiful solo. My favorite song of this album is "Pawan Diwani" by Lata, a trademark song of Burmanda. The melody of the song has that unmistakable SD's stamp all over it. You just can't miss it.

I am also uploading a couple of extended version songs, both contributed by the Forum members. Thank you. It appears, per EarthMusic, I may be missing the song shown in red italics in the table below. If indeed this is the case, and if you can, please kindly share it with rest of us. Thank you.

I will upload songs from this album in back-to-back two posts. Here is the first set of songs ...

(Raaj) Ardhangini (1959)

Here is a beautiful album from Vasant Desaiji. It boasts three duets of Geetaji and Rafi Saab, all utterly beautiful to listen to. Lata also has some nice solos. Several of these songs are by the courtesy of the Forum members.

Now for the songs ...

(Rajendra) Dhool Ka Phool (1959)

Here is another beautiful album from the team of N. Dutta and Sahir. Their combination gave so many sparkling albums that have made a permanent place in our hearts. Remember the songs like Asha's "Inn Ujle Mehlon Ke Tale" in "Bhai Bahen (1959)", Talat Saab's "Ashkon Ne Jo Paaya Hai" from "Chandi Ki Deewar (1964)" and umpteen number of other songs. This album also is way up there.

In this movie B.R. Chopra, the producer and the director, was showing the plight of an unwed mother and complications arising from it for a hapless but determined woman. There are two of my favorite duets in this album by Asha and Mahendra, "Dhadkne Lagi" and "Jhukti Ghata". Great lyrics. Beautiful compositions. Lovely singing. Sahir shows in these two songs what a romantic he can be. Then there are other songs that gives Sahir Saab a chance to issue a commentary on the norms of our society. One such song is by Lata, "Tu Mera Pyaar Ka Phool Hai". The other is Rafi Saab's great solo "Tu Hind Banega Na Musalmaan Banega". I am uploading these and other equally beautiful songs from this album in back-to-back two posts.

Now for the first set of songs ...

Concluding Songs of "Dhool Ka Phool (1959)" ...

Apart from the two songs mentioned in the first post, "Tu Hind Banega" and "Tu Mera Pyaar Hai", there is another beautiful song sung by Sudha Malhotra, "Kaise Kahoon Mann Ki Baat". Wonder whether Sahir Saab was expressing his own sentiments for Malhotra when he wrote this song.

Here are the rest of the songs of from this beauty of an album ...

(Sunil) Sujata (1959)

Most of the following write-up was posted earlier in my post under the thread "Muse & Music" ...

Here are some of the beautiful compositions from the incomparable Burmanda. Every song from this album is full of melody, as if it is oozing with honeyed sweetness. Singling out one of them is really not doing justice to other songs. Because one never gets tired of these songs even when you listen to them over and over again. They are all that good. Very rich in lyrics. Packed with bundles of emotion. Beautiful experience to listen to these songs as if you can see what is happening in front of your own mind's eye. These songs just cast a spell over you. You are simply charmed.

This film won several Filmfare awards; Best Film, Best Actress for Nutan; Best Director for Bimal Roy, and Best Story for Subodh Ghosh. Notable omission was Burmanda's music direction. Simply an inexecusable crime.

The movie also won a special award from the Maharashtra Government for its theme dealing with untouchability. It was an official entry from India in the 1960 Cannes Film Festival.

Along with the songs from the original soundtrack album, I am also uploading a special version of Talat's lovely "Jalte Hain Jiske Liye". This has an introduction by the famous bhajan and ghazal singer Anup Jalota. It is from the album "Legends: Talat Mahmood - The Silken Voice (CD 4)".

Here are the sweet servings ...

(Amitabh) Garam Masala (1972)

Amitabh apparently made an uncredited appearance in this movie. (Most of the cast members of this film include those from Mahmood's "Bombay to Goa" which also was released in 1972.) Here are the songs from this movie ...
