Well I have not played any song by Rafi so here it is a duet with Shamshaad from Raseeli. A beautiful song! Khawar Khawar Saab There seems to be an issue with the songs speed - especially in the earlier part of the song. I think its a little slow... Kind Regards Faraaj Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo There is only one better thing than music - live music. - Jacek Bukowski I hate music, especially when it's played. - Jimmy Durante No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. - W. H. Auden |

Here are two duets (Part 1&2) from film Bindiya that Farraj sahib is talking about. Brilliant composition by kamaldas Gupta again. I think Kamaldas Gupta worked in calcutta through out his life or did he migrate to Bombay? Pradeep sahib can shed light on whether Bindya was produced in Bombay or Calcutta? Khawar I too believe that Kamal Dasgupta (and also Kanan Devi) didn't migrate to Bombay unlike some of the names, I mentioned in my previous post. Yet there are movies like Bindiya (1946), Zameen Aasman (1946) and Manmaani (1947) for whom he composed music which were not only produced under Bombay based banners but also their artistes and directors were always based in Bombay. It is possible that Kamal Dasgupta as also lyrics writer Faiyaz Hashmi, another Calcutta based personality mostly associated with Kamal Dasgupta, were both retained by some of the Bombay based producers to write lyrics and compose music for their films which they did out of Calcutta as even the playback singers (Kalyani Das, Hemant Mukherjee, Anima Dasgupta etc) who sang all the songs in these movies were also based in Calcutta. The strange case is that of Arabian Nights (1946) which was produced under a Bombay based banner but its artistes (Kanan Devi, Nawab, Robin Muzumdar, etc) as also the director were all Calcutta based. May be the movie was produced in Calcutta and its rights were later bought by a Bombay based company. Pradeep This post has been edited by pradeepasrani: Jul 18 2010, 10:09 PM |

Khawar Khawar Saab There seems to be an issue with the songs speed - especially in the earlier part of the song. I think its a little slow... I did not notice it. may be the speed was less than 78rpm, during record play?? Here is a beautiful song by Khan Mastana who sung many songs during 1940-1950 but some how never attained the fame associated with Talat, rafi, mukesh, hemant & kishore. This song is composed by Shyam Sundar....Khawar |

This song is composed by Shyam Sundar....Khawar What a lovely composition by Shyam Sunder! Thanks Khawar Saab I've always wondered what happened to Shyam Sunder and Gyan Dutt that they disappeared from HFM after attaining such heights and compose so many gems. Did they die young or simply retire? There is no information on the internet...I'd be interested if you or any other member can shed some light on these two musical geniuses who are not remembered as well as they should be...

An everlasting gem sung by Kalyani and written by Fayyaz Hashmi. It is interesting that Fayyaz sahib is still living in karachi ~ 92 years old. I dont remember the composer of Zameen aasmaan. khawar

Responding to the queries of Khawar and Faraaj in the above two posts, MD of Zameen Aasman was Kamal Dasgupta. Shyam Sunder indeed died prematurely in 1953 while he was at the peak of his prowess and was composing music for Alif Laila. Madan Mohan stepped in to complete the music composition for the movie. Gyan Dutt simply faded away in 50s, much like Anil Biswas, Husnlal Bhagatram, Bulo C.Rani, Hansraj Behl, etc in 60s. He did get a few assignments for a few movies between mid - 50s and mid - 60s. Possibly his last assignment was Janam Janam Ke Saathi, released in 1965.

I did read somewhere that Shyam Sunder died prematurely but what you say confirms that. Its interesting and sad to hear about true musical genius like Gyan Dutt simply fading away...the last albums of his I've heard are from Sunehre Din '49 and Dilruba '50...were his later songs not that good?
