Geeta Dutt And Helen...

I discovered one more very great and wonderful song sung by Geeta ji for Helen today. I say discovered because I saw it for the first time today having loved its melody for long.

The song is none other than Aye Haaye Dilruba from Dr. Vidya. The song is set in an old students get together in the college. Helen and Vyjyanthimala have an argument. Then Helen breaks into this song. The song begins with Helen dancing to Geetaji's lovely voice. Vyjyanthimala joins later and Asha Bhosle sings for her!
A lovely song and dance is also great with them dancing in competition to each other!

HB,

Thanks for this information. So the only ones who could "hear" this song were the lucky ones who watched it in the theater (or on VCD/DVD now). RPG should bring a compilation of such songs of Geeta ji.

Regards
Parag

Yes, that would be a good idea. But would RPG be interested in doing this?

HB,

It will be wonderful if you can (at your convenience) rip the video of this song and share with us. It will be a fun to watch this lovely 9 minute song.



Cheers

I have not done much of video editing before. I will try to do it after searching for software and procedures for it.

Will be looking forward to it HB.

Take your time, no worries..

Thanks to forum members Erum ji, FP and Mahesh ji we have got information about a hindi song in a bengali film picturised on Helen and sung by Geeta ji.
Details as available are as follows:-
1959-gali theke rajpath-tere liye laya-md-sudhin dasgupta;ly-?

Its a lovely song. Its video has been uploaded by Erum ji and audio uploaded by FP.

Saw a movie today which I've been wanting to see for a long time due to its lovely Geeta songs. Found two of them to be picturised on Helen. Any guess, which is the movie? Find out in the updated list below:-

1. Mera naam chin chin choo - Howrah Bridge
2. Dil se dil takarayein - Love Marriage
3. Bechain dil khoyi si nazar- Yahudi
4. Kahan Phir Hum Kahan - Night Club Club
5. Maara Re Maara - Aab-e-hayat
6. Oonchi edhi walon ne - Bedard Zamana Kya Jaane
7. Arey Tauba Yeh Teri Ada - 12 O Clock
8. Aaye Haaye Dilruba - Dr Vidya
9. Tere Liye Aaya Hai Le Ke Koi Dil - Gali Theke Rajpath (Bengali movie)
10. Ja Raha Hai Kyun Deewane - Passport
11. Tauba Tauba Tauba O Tauba Meri Maan - Passport
12. Majnu Ke Chhilke - O Tera Kya Kehna

As you would've guessed from the additions the movie is Passport. (The third Geeta song in the movie Nazar Ka Jhuk Jana is on another dancer. Can somebody guess who it is? My guess is its Lillian. )
I vaguely recall seeing Nau Do Gyarah years back in which helen had a song (probably her first proper dance song). Can somebody confirm that its Helen for whom Geeta ji sang in the song Kya Ho Jo Din Rangeela Ho?

Thanks for the quick response Parag. I recalled the actresses and singers but didn't remember who sang for whom.

You are most welcome HB.

You can always refer to this thread to see if that particular song is available on YT or not

Yes, thats a good list. Infact, I had directly searched youtube already for the song. Due to some net issue youtube doesn't open very well for me (funny college net again?). So I generally download the songs. Was downloading it when your reply came! I should have guessed the answer before download itself since her other song See Le Zubaan was known to be picturised on Shashikala. (Thats an interesting Geeta song which forms most of the climax!).

Say isn't that helen in Majnu Ke chhilke?

Oh yes, that is Helen! One more song added to our list!

Updated the list. We now have 12 songs. They're no less in quality as compared to songs sung for helen by other singers.
Hope members will find others as well.
