My mother tongue is Kannada. I have a good collection of fine songs in Kannada, Hindi and English. I also have many beautiful tunes sung in almost all the other Indian languages. I do not understand what these songs say, but I enjoy their enchanting music nevertheless.



I realize that there must be hundreds of songs in these languages which are as good as the songs which I have. I would love to listen to them, if only I could find them. I am sure that there are many HF members who share this desire of enjoying music composed for movies of other languages.



So I am opening threads in all the languages offered on HF and requesting members to upload, say, 15 of the best melodies in that language. If anyone wants to upload more, I will not complain! Since these threads are meant mainly for members who can not speak that language, I request that the uploads be based only on their musical quality.



Please go ahead and upload your choice of the top 15 tunes in Punjabi.



My selection for the 15 top tunes in Kannada can be found at the thread:

Hamara Forums > Music > Regional Music > Kannada > Top Tunes In Indian Movies - Kannada

My choice at this time, of top Punjabi songs. Not all songs are in Punjabi (language).

Dear Harjinder,
I am listening to your uploads. Some of them are excellent. Thank you. I have some Punjabi film songs about which I have no information:
1. Karee Raath - Shamshad?
2. Ki Do Gussaa - Female
3. Maine Kutiyaa Neend - Female,Others

Do you know what films they are from (and the names of the singers and the music directors)?

Hi
If you upload those songs there is a good chance either I or other interested members could figure out the singer and movie name etc. Harjinder

Dear Harjinder,



Here they are:

Karee Raat (mp3 2:54)

Ki Do Gussaa (mp3 2:50)

Meree Kutiyaa Neend (mp3 2:40)

Hi
I can identify all three songs. Their wording is slightly different than given.
First song: Saree raat tera takniayaan raah is from movie titled 'Chaman' 1948 and is sung by Pushpa Hans (Also known as Pushpa Chopra) it has music by Vinod.
Second song is from film 'Posti' 1951.Its words are ' Maaye merriye ni mainu bada cha ki do guttan kar merriyan'. Singer for this song: Asha Bhosle and music director; Sardool Kwatra.
Third song is from film 'Mangti' 1942 : 'Mainu suttiyan need na aaye maahi ni mera gusse gusse' sung by Zeenat Begum & chorus.Its music director was Pt. Gobind Ram. Harjinder

Thanks Harjinder, You are a genius. Sorry about the wording.

Nice songs uploaded by Harjinder ji.
The three by Yadavgiri ji are classic punjabi songs. (thumba chennagide)

Dear hildebrand,

Thank you. I looked at your uploads of Punjabi songs. Can you please indicate which of them are good, purely from the point of melody?
