SB,

There seems to be a problem with this song. I downloaded this but it is only of 17 seconds duration. Other songs are fine. I'm not sure whether anyone else is having the same problem.

Swarapriya

Stree (1961)

Mumtaz appeared in several Shantaram movies this being the first one. Even though she appeared in bit roles in his films, later she bacame a full fledged heroine in one of his movies.

Shantaram remade his "Shakuntala (1943)" as "Stree". Shakuntala starred Jayashri, mother of actress Rajashri, and wife of Shantaram. It was a huge hit. "Stree" starring Sandhya, Jayashri's sister, was also a hit. A much older Shantaram starred opposite a younger Sandhya. When critics pointed out this he told them that if only they read the story of Shakuntala carefully they will realize that Dushayanta in the story was much older to Shakuntala as well. Shantaram eventually married Sandhya after divorcing Rajashri.

This movie boasts some of the most beautiful music composed by C. Ramchandra. He was following the huge success of "Navrang" for Shantaram with this movie. He came through in flying colors. Whereas in "Navrang" all female songs were sung by Asha Bhosle, Lata was back this time for "Stree". Lata and Ramchandra amended their differences and started worked together again. This movie also boasts some of the rich lyrics written by the incomparable Bharat Vyas.

According to "EarthMusic" there are 13 songs in this movie. My CD only has nine songs. I am uploading all of them here. The missing songs are shown in red italics in the table below. If anyone of you have these songs, please share with rest of us.

Now for the songs ...

1) Dr Vidya marked the comeback of Lata ji working with S D Burman after a gap of about 5 years

I believe I have mentioned some of these things in the past, but no harm in telling them again
1) Dr Vidya marked the comeback of Lata ji working with S D Burman after a gap of about 5 years
2) The tune for Jaani tum to dole was supposed to be made by R D Burman for the film "Gauri" which was supposed to launch Geeta Dutt ji as singing star by Guru Dutt. It was also supposed to be the first cinemascope film to be made in Hindi
3) The song "Aye hay dilruba" is the same as "Pappa ja maar lo". The video of this dance competition song is available on our YT channel on Geeta ji here

4) This song is not released on records and is available on the film soundtrack only

Swarapriya,

Thanks a lot for the Geeta Dutt song from this movie.

With sincere regards,

Rajan

According to what I remember, Dr. Vidya and Baat Ek Raat Ki (that had one Lata-Rafi duet) got released first, but the song with which the ice got broken was Mera Gora Rang Layi Le from Bandini.

SP, Bheegi Bheegi (the one you uploaded) is the same as Maine Kya Kya Na Kiya (the one you have put under missing songs). However, I have seen somewhere that there is a Manna Dey version of Bheegi Bheegi. Can someone upload that?

Nagina (1951)

Here is an early album by Shankar & Jaikishan for an early film of Nutan. There are some beautiful songs in this album. C.H. Atma has four stirring solos in his own inimitable style; liesurely, brooding, and contemplative. I am uploading all the songs except one in the first post. The missing song is shown in red italics in the table below. The second post contains some extended version songs, all by the courtesy of the Forum members.

Here is the first set of songs ...

According to what I remember, Dr. Vidya and Baat Ek Raat Ki (that had one Lata-Rafi duet) got released first, but the song with which the ice got broken was Mera Gora Rang Layi Le from Bandini.
