This is factually incorrect. The number of songs sung by Asha for MM is quite close to LM, although LM definitely has more songs. Just that Lata songs have been more popular to this day (with some help from HMV, of course)

I am no expert on Asha ji, so you could be right. This is what Shirish Kanekar had to say about Madan Mohan though :

When you subtract Lata Mangeshkar from Madan Mohan, what will you get? May be some Talat Mahmood, thats all! The fact is that Madan bhaiyya gave all (say most) of his songs to his Raakhi-sister Lata and she too did a great justice to his songs.

Thanks for pointing out the facts.

Also the main point of discussion was that unlike SDB or OPN, Madan Mohan never gave a lot of songs to Shamshad ji and Geeta ji in the initial phase of his career. So there is no question of him "deserting" them.

Again, these are conceptions and subject to every one's likes and choices.

Parag, I'm no expert on Asha ji myself. Till, say ,a year back, I also thought that Madan Mohan mostly worked with Lataji, so strong was the association in my mind because of all the lovely songs their collaboration had produced. It did come as a surprise to me when I saw the facts and figures.

There is factual inaccuracy in Shirish Kanekar's statement when he says "Madan bhaiyya gave all (say most) of his songs to his Raakhi-sister Lata", but the point is taken. Madan Mohan's best compositions have indeed been for Lata.

For those interested, here are some statistics based on VN's books on Lata and Asha.

Lata sang 210 songs for MM in 68 films
Asha sang 190 songs for MM in 72 films

Hi Aditya

Since I never thought about MM-AB association till date, I never imagined that Asha ji would have sung so many songs for MM sahab.

Shirish Kanekar is probably going by the popular notion about MM.

Of course I stand corrected on this point.

The basic point of our discussion was about MM and Shamshad ji. I am not sure how many songs she sang for MM!

I must admit you are good at numbers!

Parag

If I'm not wrong, Shamshad Begum has sung just around 20 songs for Madan Mohan

That is approximately the same number of songs Geeta ji sang for Madan Mohan sahab!

Would love to see the video of this only duet of Nutan and Geeta ji. This film launched Tanuja as a young actress (and the film was produced by mother Shobhna Samarth). Most likely Geeta ji gave voice to Tanuja (or was it filmed on Helen?)

An absolutely melodious number. Hats off to Snehal Bhatkar for this song!

Cheers
Parag

Agreed, its my favorite song too!

Parag

I also would love to see the video of the Chhabili song as well as the Sansar song too!

Uploading a lesser heard Lata-Geeta duet from Baap Bete which has a nice punjabi tune.
Was reminded of this song from a query in punjabi forum between sonu ji and BTM ji.

I found an interesting discussion on SKS yahoo group by Samik ji on this song.
