Songs of "Waqt (1965)" Continued ...

Here are the rest of the songs from this beautiful album ...

Anjaam (1952)

This movie is listed as both "Anjaam" and "Anjaan" in EartMusic and other places. Under "Anjaan" EarthMusic lists more songs. For this reason I have opted to take the title as "Anjaan".

There are eight songs in this album. I have only two of them that I am uploading here. Quality of one of these songs, "Meri Naiyya" is poor. The missing songs are shown in red italics in the table below. Please kindly share these if you have them.

Here are the two songs ...

The correct name of the film is Anjaam.

Thanks Aditya. I made appropriate changes.

Jayasimha (1955)

After her appearance as an "item" girl in the Telugu movie "Rojulu Maaraayi" was a smashing success, it was inevitable that Waheeda was flooded with many offers in the southern film industry. She was offered the second lead role opposite N.T. Rama Rao (NTR) in this movie which she readily accepted. Actress Anjali Devi had the primary role, even though she was not heroine in the movie. But before long, Guru Dutt came along and frisked her away to act in Hindi movies.

This movie, if I am not mistaken, was based on a short story by one of Telugu literary giants, Vishwanatha Satya Narayana. NTR revered him, so he may have the story made into this movie. This second movie starring Waheeda was also a huge hit.

"Jayasimha" is loaded with some beautiful songs. I will upload them in two back-to-back posts.

One last note. In this section, Maheshji has a fine thread going on the music director Ramesh Naidu. The name of the thread topic is "Ramesh Naidu-the Andhra Giant". There are several songs from a movie called "Jaisingh", made in 1959, are listed in this thread. If I am not mistaken, "Jaisingh" was a dubbed version of the Telugu movie "Jayasimha". The only surprising part is that the music for Telugu version was provided by T.V. Raju. But the music for "Jaisingh" is credited to Ramesh Naidu. May be Hindi version was actully a remade one after all.

Here is the first set of songs from the Telugu "Jayasimha" ...

The songs of Jai SIngh had the same tunes as Jai Simha, though I did feel a few minor arrangement variations in the Hindi version. Still it beats me why Ramesh Naidu was credited for the dubbed version.

The telugu film Jaya simha came in 1955 where as hindi one was released in 1959. I believe that the telugu film was dubbed into Hindi....and needless to say, the film sank without a trace.
TV Raju is the original composer no doubt. Ramesh Naidu was give the task to make the music for hindi version. the reason might be that Ramesh naidu was well versed in Hindi and could take the work without any qualms.. Just my two pence..

Hulchul (1971)

With her mold-breaking performance in the movie "Hare Rama Hare Krishna" released in 1971, Zeenat created quite a bit of "Hulchul". The same year she also made "Hulchul", again with RD as the music director. Unfortunately, I don't have much information about its songs. This is surprising because there is so much information out there on RD. I do have a song and a long musical piece from this movie which I am uploading here. If anyone can help with other songs please do so.

Here are the details ...

I think the song "Konda meeda kokki rayee" is sung by K Rani, better known for her "Cheliya ledu chelimi ledu veluture ledu" from 'Devadasu'

Madhu..what you said is true.
Though i distinctly remember the song when i saw it in theatres, i couldnt find the same in both VCD and DVD version of the movies...
Any pointers on this?

Thanks for the dance track, SP. Hulchul had no other songs. It is an OP Ralhan thriller that did not have any songs apart from the title track that has the word "Hulchul" repeated nth. number of times by Asha and Pancham.

Not sure if I understood your comment, but Jamunarani (who is identified as singing this song) is also
known as Koka Jamunarani or K Jamunarani. So I think they are the same person.

SB...K.Rani and K Jamuna Rani are two different singers. Rani's full name is Usha Rani. She first sang for C.Subburaman..in Ragini's Dharma Devata ( 1952 )
Her notable song apart from Devadas and Jaya simha.. is Mokka jonna thota lo...musirina cheekatlalo..from Sipayi Kooturu.
