Shammi Kapoor

Dear SP,
Thanks for posting this absolute gem.

I am kind of averse to film music after the late seventies.
Out of the large number of films belonging to the eighties & nineties, there are just a handful that stand out for memorable music. IJAAZAT is one of them.

I am a big fan of Asha & consider this to be the high watermark of her singing career.

What makes each song, noteworthy, apart from Asha's singing, is Gulzar's light-as-air poetry.
'Mere kuch saamaan...' is an bewildering work chronicling loss, remembrance and longing, couched in Gulzar's magical words and sung ever so beautifully by Asha.

I really did not know about the Bengali origins of this film. It was fascinating to read all the nuggets of information; as usual, your research is excellent.

I was missing IJAAZAT and more particularly 'Mera kuch saamaan...'.

Thanks, once again, SP, for making my day.

Bestr Regards,
Suresh

Well, Suresh, the essence of the whole movie is in the song "Mere Kuchh Saamaan". Your description aptly fits how the movie played out.

Thank you for your nice comments.

Cheers,
Swarapriya

Bade Ghar Ki Beti (1989)

Songs from this album were recently uploaded by Naveed ji under the "Laxmikant Pyarelal" thread in the "Legendary Music Directors" section. You can still access these songs at the following location ...

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?showtopic=81674

I believe there are still two songs that are missing from these uploads. These are ...

1. "Jai Jai Ram Siya Ram" by Suresh Wadkar; lyrics: Santosh Anand
2. "Teen Hisse Paap Ka" by Mohd. Aziz; lyrics: Santosh Anand

If anyone has these songs, please share. Thanks.

I believe the album uploaded in another thread is complete. The Vinyl has 6 songs as well
1. "Jai Jai Ram Siya Ram" by Suresh Wadkar; lyrics: Santosh Anand = Jinka Ghar Hai Ayodhya Jaisa
2. "Teen Hisse Paap Ka" by Mohd. Aziz; lyrics: Santosh Anand = Probably a typo in Emusic site unless this version is there only on film

Thanks for the explanation, Sangeet. That clarifies the situation. Cheers. -S

Batwara (1989)

J.P. Dutta is in the habit of making movies with a huge star cast. This movie is no exception. I was expecting that the experience of watching this movie will leaveme with something worthwhile to remember. However, sadly, it was a total disappointment.

The movie did have some good songs by LP. All these songs were ripped from the DVD. The missing singer names and the correct song titles themselves were given to me by Exon and Aditya. Thank you. Because of this, some of the wording of the songs in the table may not exactly match the zipped files. My sincere apologies for the confusion ...

Here are the songs ...

One correction: Aa Idhar Aa is by Mohd. Aziz & Kavita Krishnamurthy.

If I remember correctly, in the film the song Ye Isaq Dank Bichhua Ka is not complete. Here is the full audio version.
