Swarpriya'
My hats off to you for your wonderful posts of the "Golden Age" albums! Thank you.

Nandi, you're more than welcome indeed. Cheers. -S

(Meena) Daera (1953)

Here is another album starring Meena Kumari. Kamal Amrohi made this movie from his own story. Meena Kumari was married to him at this time. Kamal was many years senior to her and apparently she was his second wife. This movie was a flop. But definitely not because of its songs. Because they are all pretty good with Mubarak Begum and Talat sharing the bulk of the chore. I haven't seen the movie but apparently Meenaji had an excellent portrayal basking fresh from the glory she achieved with the performance in her previous movie, "Baiju Bawra".

I am uploading all the songs of this album taken from various sources. Some came from CDs and others came via the courtesy of the Forum members. Thank you. I am also uploading some extended version songs in the second post.

Quality of most of the songs is very good. However, because of the bdifferent sources they came from, some songs do have poor quality. Mubarak Begum has three solos and a duet. I don't believe I have seen Begum Saab singing this many songs in any movie before. Here is the first set of songs ...

Some Extended Version Songs of "Daaera (1953)"

I am including in this post some extended version songs. Couple of these are by the courtesy of the Forum members. Thank you. The third one I found in the "You Tube". This is a very long version of Talat's song "Aa Bhi Jaa Meri Duniya Mein" which is over seven minutes long. Its quality is poor but it has sounds of Meena Kumari intermixed within drwan out silences of the song. The slow pace with Talat sings and the long song really match the mood that was depicted in the movie and caught my fancy. Here are these songs ...

Thanks Swarapriya for sharing so many rare albums. I really dont have right words to express my appreciation. You are simply amazing.

(Madhubala) Nadaan (1951)

I am uploading most of the songs from this album here. Chic Chocolate, the music director, was apparently worked with C. Ramchandra who supervised the music for this album. All these songs are by the courtesy of the Forum members. Because these songs came from various sources, their quality is also variable ranging sometimes from very good to other times to kind of iffy.

I am uploading some extended version songs in the second post. That post also lists missing songs. Here is the first set of songs ...

Songs of "Nadaan (1951)" Continued ...

I am uploading a couple of extended version songs and a slower version of Talat's solo here. The missing songs are shown in red italics in the table below. Requesting members to share these if they can. Thank you.

Now for the songs ...

Dear swarapriya,

The male voice in Aisa Kyaa Qasoor Kiyaa sound like Chitalkar and not Rafi. Am I right?

Aisa Kya Qusoor Kiya was in Rafi's voice in the film, and in Chitalkar's voice on 78rpm.

I am not sure about Baba Ki Sun Le Baat, but there is a Lata song called Door Hi Se Hum Se Karo Baat in this film. This song plus O Bhai Machhua is available in low bit rate here:

The line, 'baba ki sunlo baat' is supposed to be starting words in 'door hi se karo baat'. However, my audio doesn't contain those words.
