Sahir & Shairi

Thank you very much Aditya for filling in the details. Now you mention I remember the songs from "Lekin" and "Maya Memsaab". But others I don't have any idea.

Cheers,

You're very welcome, Harshji. Cheers. -S

Jeevan Jyoti (1953)

Here is another beautiful album from the combination of Sahir and SD. Apart from its beautiful music, this movie has a couple of interesting things worth noting. Shammi Kapoor made his acting debut this year. He made several movies the very same year and many people believe that this was his first film released as a hero. In an interview Shammi discloses that this was the first movie he signed to be a hero. Besides acting in the movie, Shammi also sings a song with Asha. Thus Burmanda had both Raj (in "Dil Ki RanI in 1947) and Shammi sing for his movies.

Chand Usmani, Meena Kumari's sister, made her acting debut in this movie. Even though she was never able reach the heights of her illustrious sister, that would be a tall order for anyone, she did hold on her own and persevered long enough in the film field to be remembered for a role here or a role there. She acted in 60 plus movies.

Burmanda's assistant for this film was N. Dutta. Dutta became a full fledged music director later on and distinguished himself as a fine one with several movies to his credit. He is also noted for working mostly with Sahir Saab.

I will upload the songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. Now for the details of the songs in this first post and the songs themselves ...

Shahenshah (1953)

Here is yet another winner from the combination of Burmanda and Sahir Saab. I am uploading all songs here except for the one shown in red italics in the table below. If indeed this is the missing song, and if you can, please share. Thanks.

Now for the details of the songs andd the songs themselves ...

Thank you very much Swarapriya for Shahenshah songs. Do you have the original version of "Naazon Ke Pale" by Talat?

I don't think there's any Lata version of Aayi Baharein Le Ke.

Lookng at akbaralibhai's comment, it seems that you have uploaded the re-recorded version of Naazon Ke Pale. It is a more easily available version and was re-recorded in studio sometime in the 80s, and sadly Talat Mahmood voice is a pale shadow of his original voice. Here's the original version:

Thank you very much Aditya Pant for the original version.

I thought I uploaded the original version, Aditya. The re-recorded version I have, I did not upload it, is of 3:33 duration. The original version I have uploaded is of 3:41 duration. The one you have uploaded, Aditya, is of 3:19 duration. Seems like there may be many versions of this song that are all of different time durations. Well, I will dowload the one you have anyways and compare with the versions I have.

Cheers,
Swarapriya

Aditya ji,

I really do not know how express myself for this upload. I have been searching this since very long time. Bahut Bahut Bahut shukriya..

Sincere regards,

Shole (1953)

There were four different types of lyricists in this movie including Sahir Saab. Geetaji dominated the proceedings with several songs. The duet of Geetaji and Hemantda is mostly the song that belongs to Geetaji. I have seen her portion only appear as a separate song in several collections. Therefore I have decided to include here only Geetaji's portion of the song as a separate one.

It appears like I may be missing at least two more songs shown in red italics in the table below. If indeed this is the case, and if you happen to have them, please kindly share with rest of us.

Now for the details of the songs and the songs themselves ...
