Aakarsh, here is your one request-

Full version of Beraham asmaan meri manzil bata...- By Talat Mahmood,
Ripped directly from CD at 192 Kbps-
Film: BAHANA (1960), Music: Madan Mohan

Enjoy,

Mohd.

Here are two of your requested songs.


Chhote Babu- Do Din Ki Mohabbat

Ek Gaon Ki Kahani- Raat Ne Kya Kya Khwaab Dikhaye

Aakarsh, thanks for refreshing our memory with a great number, the requested song-Ada se jhoomte huwe dilon ko choomtey huwe... from the film- Sindbad the Sailor (1952). However this song was not sung by Talat Saheb. This is in fact an excellent duet by Rafi Saab and Shamshad Begum composed by Chitragupt. I had it in an audio cassette which I lost it . I am also looking for this one and it can be requested in Rafi Saab's forum.

Mohd.

U are 100% Rafi+ Shamshad ji. I have vhs movies very nice all songs this movie. Thank.

Never heard the first one. The second one is nostalgic.

Dear Unni ji ,

There isa wonderful song by the great Talatji " Zindagi denewale sun teri duniyase dil bhar gaya ... ". Unfortunately I do not have any other details of the song. I hope you will have no difficulty to U/L the lovely song.

Mohd bhai, would you have the few lines Talatsaab hummed in Devdas, which went like "Kisko Pata Thha, Kisko Khaba Thhi, Aise Bhi Din Aayenge... Jeena Bhi Mushkil Hoga, Marne Bhi Na Payenge..."
Would be grateful if somebody could upload this...

I think I've those lines. They were uploaded at his official website. Let me rummage through my unorganized CD collection and get back to you with that, along with the cries of 'Roko, Gaarhi Waalay, Gaarhi Roko ... ... Devdaas ... Devdaas ... "

From the film soundtrack, yet not too clear.
Would anyone agree with me that this puts to shame all those stupor-filled songs sung by many a singers of today ... trying to imitate Rafi sahab's style ... and in their craze over-looking such a magnificent rendition by Talat sahab.
Amazing little gem from 1955, tucked away for us.

And something interesting on Devdas that I found while searching for the year of release.

Imran:

I've had no interest in watching the 1935 version, although I've read and heard good things about it. It would now seem very dated and the cinematic qualities 'primitive'. So, I am in no position to compare the acting performances. Recently, I did watch the 1955 version, to contrast it with the recent "DEVDAS", and I was struck by its authenticity.

Also, I am not a fan of Saigal-sahab or the singing style of those days. I can more easily relate to S. D. Burman's compositions and Talat-sahab's singing.

But, having said that, I would concede the writer's point about "outliving the passage of time".

Saigal-sahab sang only some 175 - 250 songs in his career. But he has acquired a legendary status that is unrivalled. Two of his songs from "DEVDAS" feature among the greatest classics of HFM, "Baalam Aaye Baso" and "Dukh Ke Din". Whereas Talat-sahab's songs from "DEVDAS" are perhaps regarded as just some other good ones from a bigger khazana (700+ ?).

Mitua" is a personal favourite of mine among Talat-sahab's renditions, but fans of Talat-sahab are more likely to cite other songs as his greatest numbers. Whereas Saigal-fans would invariably include 'Balam Aaye Baso".

Thanks, Extenok, for so promptly fulfilling my request!
These few lines, I think, capture grief and longing perfectly. Comparing these to the efforts of current singers is unfair to Talatsaab and, perhaps to a greater extent, to them as well.
I think today's singers are not exposed to the nuances of poetry and song of masters like Talatsaab...
As for trying to ape Talatsaab, it's just as well they don't... the result could only be disastrous, because if one singer from the past was most inimitable, it was Talatsaab.

Now, though I haven't seen any of the versions of Devdas, I'd agree with Unni-ji that the 1955 one would be most compelling... And also with his views that Talat's songs from Devdas are not likely to be ranked among his greatest by his fans.

Disagree on the point of old movies. I like to watch really old movies, and love several of Saigal's songs, like Mein Kya Jaanoon Kya Jaadoo Hei, Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Jaye, Gham Diye Mustaqil Kitna Nazuk Hei Dil, Karoon Kya Aas Niraas Bhayi, Diya Jalao, Madhukar Shaam Hamare Chor, Kaahe Ghumaan Kare, Ik Raje Ka Beta Lekar, Tadapat Beetat Din Nahin, and more.

Can anyone upload
