i am not sure if the md/s Shafi M - Nagri ( earthmusic.net) have been covered
in the thread

Geeta ji sang the song Preeti Kisi ko Na Chhode for Circus King(1946). It had two MDs: J. Abhyankar and Nagesh Rao. Geeta Kosh doesn't mention who is the MD for individual songs.

Does anyone have the song and MD Details.

I went through the entire thread today and noted the contribution by various contributors led by Parag, the the ultimate Geeta devotee. The stuff uploaded here is mind bogling and everyone who uploaded here deserves congratulations of the rest of HF members.

The old timers on HF may recall another Geeta devotee, Bappaditya Chatterji, who unfortunately is no more with us. I am sure that the blessings of Geeta and Bappa are with with Parag for his untiring efforts in promoting the music of Geeta Roy Dutt.

I noticed the above comment by Venkat. I wonder which Pradeep he is referring to. There are not many HF members with this name and surely he doesn't mean that I have contributed in any significant way to popularising Rafi (not that Rafi needs anyone). There have been some devoted contributors in the Rafi thread. The ones readilly come to mind are Unni, Myawan, Suhana Safar among the old timers, Mohammed Parvez in recent times and of course Venkat himself. So I wonder why he had to refer to me, if he is indeed referring to me. Of course the attached smiley gives it away that he is not sure himself.

One last word Venkat Bhai, in my humble opinion, to compare Parag's devoted obsession with any other fan's devotion to his / her favourite singer is nearly a sacrilege.

Pradeep

one more MD missed out is Payami for whom she sang two songs in Sagar Tarang (made in 40s. exact year not known).

Two songs were:-
1. Itna to bata de prabhu kyon humko sataye
2. Bhagwan Yeh Kyon Hai

If someone has the songs do upload them.

Pradeep ji

It is very pleasing to see positive and encouraging comments from a discerning music lover like you. In Geeta ji's forum in general, and on this topic in particular, I am merely an initiator. It is the blessings of Geeta ji (as you rightly mentioned) and the affection of HF members for Geeta ji which is keeping these threads/discussions active. We all are so thankful to all the generous members who have contributed in various ways to the success of this forum (which finally led to the launching of the website http://www.geetadutt.com). The site would not have been launched without the vast amount of groundwork done by several members over last 6-7 years.

We hope to see you more often in this forum and also please help us in letting more and more people know about our website http://www.geetadutt.com

And yes, we do remember Bappada, though I personally did not get a chance to interact with him. On the first birthday of our website, we will be having a special feature dedicated to him on the blog section of our website.

Warmest Regards
Parag

Never heard about this composer or the film. Seconding the request for these rare songs..

Thanks in advance

As mentioned on this article here,

http://www.geetadutt.com/actress.html

The music of the film Badhu Baran (1967) was composed by the legendary and brilliant composer Kamal Dasgupta and had songs sung by leading Bengali singers Manna Dey , Feroza Begum, Shyamal Mitra, Arati Mukherjee , Arun Datta and of course Geeta Dutt herself. It is a pity that the composer chose to have Geeta sing just one song for this film. The song she sang is "Amar alor o shishu o andhar ja" and was released on record number N 77083. This turned out to be Geeta Dutt's last recording in a Bengali film (she did sing some non-film Bengali songs till 1971 though).

Requesting all to share the audio of this rare song.

Thanks in advance
Parag

Kadri ji

This song is from the film Hamari Shaan (1950) and is composed by Chitragupta ji. I am not sure about the correctness about this entry in the EM database here

http://www.earthmusic.net/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/...e+poochhte+hain

Requesting help from music lovers with HFGK to confirm about this.

Best Regards
Parag

parag you are right the song is from film "hamari shaan-1951 music by chitragupt

romesh

Based on the information received from our friend Romesh ji, as per Harminder Humraaz (HFGK fame), there are 3 songs of Geeta ji in this film. Not sure which are the other two. Any information regarding this will be most appreciated

Parag

The above song was composed by Chitragupta (Ly: Anjum Jaipuri) and first appeared in Hamari Shaan (1951). It was re-used in Circus Queen (1959). Info taken from HF archive.

Do we have clarity about P. Ramakant now? P. Ramakant was same as R. Paigankar and was C. Ramchandra's assistant. It is also believed that CR composed under the name of P.Ramakant for tax purposes. So should this be counted as CR's film?

Aditya

Aditya,

Based on my gut feeling, its more like "Painjankar" should be the last name.

I think Dr Mahesh has conclusively mentioned that C R sahab himself composed music under this nick-name (P Ramakant) for about 4-5 films to save tax. (A case probably similar to B Vasudev, Snehal Bhatkar..)

So, IMHO, Rupaya should be considered as a C Ramchandra film.

Parag

Thanks for the verification Exon. Requesting confirmation from music lovers with access to HFGK as well.

Thanks
Parag
