Girlfriend (1960)

This album by Hemantda has one of my most favorite duets of Kishoreda. The song is "Aaj Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai" with Sudha Malhotra. This is the only song, I believe, these two sang together. And what a song! It is a lovely composition enriched by Sahir Saab's endearingly beautiful lyrics. Sung with lot of passion by both Kishoreda and Malhotra. Especially Kishoreda's voice touches your nerves and evokes a sweet pain. A truly rewarding listening experience.

I am uploading all songs, most of them from an original soundtrack album, here. The only exception is the song "Talni". This was contributed by the Forum member Vin Nidhi. Thank you Vin.

I am also uploading a solo version of Sudha Malhotra's "Aaj Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai". This is not from the film but was sang in a London concert as a solo in 1972. The source for the audio is "You Tube".

Here are the songs...

Romesh,

Thanks very much for posting these long audios.
Some how these audios don't appear to be true extended versions; instead they could be digitization artifacts.
For example, in the 'kashti ka khamosh' song, after 'kabse tumhaare raste mein' line, song's mukhda and 'jo kuch tumko kehana hai' stanza repeats.

Hum Dono (1961)

This happened to be one of the most popular albums of Jaidevji. Dev, whose regular was S.D. Burman, decided to give an opportunity to Jaidev, a longtime assistant to SD. Jaidevji returned the favour with spectacular results. Jaidev already made his solo debut with Chetan Anand's film, "Joru ka Bhai" in 1955, so it wasn't that he was going for the first time as an independent music director.

Here Jaidevji was working with Sahir Saab. Sahir Saab wrote some rich and beautiful lyrics. All songs became extremely popular and even today they are enjoyed for their youthful freshness. Solos by Asha and Rafi Saab especially are fondly remembered even today after nearly 50 years for their literary richness and the way they were unforgettably performed.

I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. I am including some specials in the second post. Here are the songs in the first post...

Concluding Songs from "Hum Dono (1961)"...

Here are the rest of the songs from this beautiful album. I am also including a couple of specials. One of this is with Dev's monologue before the song "Kabhi Khud Pe". This is taken from the album "Legends: Dev Anand - The Evergreen Star (CD 3)". From the same album there is an introduction by Dev to the song "Main Zindagi" I am uploading this as well.

Here are the songs...

Dharmputra (1961)

Yash Chopra, who made the stunning debut as a director with "Dhool Ka Phool" in 1959, once again comes through with such a fine and thought provoking film in "Dharmputra". It was again produced by his older brother, Bal Raj. The story was set during the partition days and the implications of Hindu-Muslim religious conflicts form its core. The movie got the Best Picture National Award but was a financial failure. After this debacle Yash Chopra never dealt such a daring subject for the rest of his film making career.

Shashi Kapoor got a real adult role for the first time in his career in this movie. Shashikala and Rajendra Kumar make uncredited appearances, both in separate song sequences.

One thing that stands out in the movie, apart from its noble plot, is the beautiful music and rich lyrics. N. Dutta tunes many magnificent melodies to the lyrics of Sahir Saab. There are many excellent songs in the movie. For example Mahendra has two of his best solos in "Aaj Ki Raat" and "Bhool Sakta Hai Bhala Kaun". Then there is Rafi Saab's rollicking "Jo Yeh Dil Diwaana". Asha also has two unforgettable numbers in "Main Jab Bhi" and "Naina Kyon". There is also a beautiful qawwali. I have many favorites in this album, but for me, the standout song is Asha's "Main Jab Bhi Akeli Hoti Hoon". Asha elevates this song an extra level to give it that sweet touch; it caresses your thoughts like eastern breeze. Utterly unforgettable melody...

Now for these beautiful songs...

Aaj Aur Kal (1963)

This is another beautiful album from the combination of Sahir & Ravi. I am uploading these songs in two back to back posts. The first post contains all the songs from the film. The second post contains some of the extended version songs.

Here are the songs in the first post...
