Babla (1953)

Here is another beauty from the knockout combination of Burmanda and Sahir Saab. Hridyanath Mangeshkar sings a song in this movie. This is interesting because in our films, it has been a general practice for female singers to sing for little boys. In this case, Hridyanathji, must have been a little boy himself, sings the song. Apart from this, did he sing in any other movies?

All songs I am uploading are by the courtesy of the Forum members. Thank you. One of the songs, the song by Mannada, is of inferior quality. I am also missing a song shown in red italics in the table below. If you can, please kindly share with rest of us. Thanks.

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

I am aware of 4 more songs sung by Hridaynath as a young boy, with quite a feminine voice. That was in the 1951-54 period.... the films were Bazooband (1954), Guzara (1952), Sanskar (1952) and Deewana (1952).

As an adult, however, he sang in many Marathi movies and much later also in Hindi films like Maya Memsaab and Lekin.

Thank you very much Aditya for filling in the details. Now you mention I remember the songs from "Lekin" and "Maya Memsaab". But others I don't have any idea.

Cheers,

Jeevan Jyoti (1953)

Here is another beautiful album from the combination of Sahir and SD. Apart from its beautiful music, this movie has a couple of interesting things worth noting. Shammi Kapoor made his acting debut this year. He made several movies the very same year and many people believe that this was his first film released as a hero. In an interview Shammi discloses that this was the first movie he signed to be a hero. Besides acting in the movie, Shammi also sings a song with Asha. Thus Burmanda had both Raj (in "Dil Ki RanI in 1947) and Shammi sing for his movies.

Chand Usmani, Meena Kumari's sister, made her acting debut in this movie. Even though she was never able reach the heights of her illustrious sister, that would be a tall order for anyone, she did hold on her own and persevered long enough in the film field to be remembered for a role here or a role there. She acted in 60 plus movies.

Burmanda's assistant for this film was N. Dutta. Dutta became a full fledged music director later on and distinguished himself as a fine one with several movies to his credit. He is also noted for working mostly with Sahir Saab.

I will upload the songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. Now for the details of the songs in this first post and the songs themselves ...

Concluding Songs from "Jeevan Jyoti (1953)" ...

There are several beautiful songs in this post. Geetaji has a couple of solos and a beautiful duet with Rafi Saab that are worth mentioning. I particularly like her solo, "Mann Sheetal". Shamshadji also has a lovely solo in "Saari Kushiyan". These and rest of the songs from this beautiful album are uploaded in this second post.

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

Shahenshah (1953)

Here is yet another winner from the combination of Burmanda and Sahir Saab. I am uploading all songs here except for the one shown in red italics in the table below. If indeed this is the missing song, and if you can, please share. Thanks.

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

[akbaralibhai]

Thank you very much Swarapriya for Shahenshah songs. Do you have the original version of "Naazon Ke Pale" by Talat?

I don't think there's any Lata version of Aayi Baharein Le Ke.

Lookng at akbaralibhai's comment, it seems that you have uploaded the re-recorded version of Naazon Ke Pale. It is a more easily available version and was re-recorded in studio sometime in the 80s, and sadly Talat Mahmood voice is a pale shadow of his original voice. Here's the original version:

Naazon Ke Pale - Shahenshah 1953 - Talat - SDB - 128 - 03:19
