(Manoj) Picnic (1966)

Mohinder ji was trained as a classical musician and worked only on a handful of movies. These occurred during his stint with Filmistan Studios which was a hot spot for churning out musical after musical. In the few movies Mohinder ji worked on, he left an indelible mark. To prove the point, take this album as an example of his creative work. Almost every song is a pure delight in this album. My favorite of the lot is Rafi Saab's solo "Bijli Giri Kahaan" and other songs are not far behind.

I am uploading these songs, all by the courtesy of the Forum members, thank you ...

(Raaj) Zindagi (1964)

This Ramanad Sagr directed movie from Gemini was based on a Tamil and Telugu hit. Unfortunately I am not certain of the names of these movies. May be someone can help on this. But as in most of Gemini's early films, this one also has tons of songs. With Shankar & Jaikishan at the helm of composing music most songs became chartbusters and film became a huge hit.

I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set ...

(Raaj) Godaan (1963)

Here is an altogether delightfully different type of album with some absolutely beautiful songs that sound very very different than the ones we hear day to day. The main reason is that Pandit Ravi Shankar is its music director. For the handful of films he composed music for, he always gave a different touch. This album is no exception.

Here are these vividly different but very melodious songs from an original soundtrack album ...

This film is based on a famous novel of the same name by Premchand. Its considered by some to be the greatest hindi novel of the 20th century, although it was originally written in Urdu. I've read the excellent english translation which is quite famous in its own right. Apart from being a moving and very readable work of literature, it also educates one on rural traditions in early 20th century India and the Gandhi influence is obvious in the glorification of rural life and humility. I highly recommend the book...

Thanks for the info Faraaj. I did read the Hindi version. I didn't realize until now that Munshi Premchandji wrote this originally in Urdu. His other fine work that was made into a movie was that of Sadhana-Sunil Dutt starrer, "Gaban" made in 1966 ,with some beautiful music by Shankar & Jaikishan.

Have started visiting HF after a considerable gap and am surfing through some of the threads in SKS. Noticed this piece of information about Munshi Premchand and wanted to add my bit. Heera Moti, released in 1959, too was based on Munshi Premchand's story "Do Bailon Ki Katha" and had a few wonderful songs by Roshan, specially Kaune Rang Mungwa Kaune Rang Motiya, by Sudha Nad Suman. Salil Chowdhry too contributed a beautiful number, Naach Re Dharti Ke Pyaare, so remniscent of his earlier numbers from Do Bigah Zameen. The lead artistes Balraj Sahni and Nirupa too reproduced the Do Bigha Zameen magic in the backdrop of a powerful storyline set in Rural India. Both Heera Moti and Gaban were directed by the same director, Krishan Chopra. In Gaban, Hrshikesh Mukherjee also was co-director.

Thanks SP for continuing your wonderful threads in SKS with such dedication.

(Rajendra) Mere Mehboob (1963)

There were two big reasons that made this movie such a big winner. First it was Sadhana's ravishingly beautiful but charmingly disarming simple looks that made millions fall in love with her. The second, and an equally important reason is beacuse of Naushadji's unforgettable score. Of course it was no "Baiju Bawra", but how many times one will exceed in their lifetime such a magnificent score anyway, but each song became a major hit with both versions of the title song taking the crown.

I am presenting these songs in two back-to-back postings. Here is a description of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves ...
