(Dilip) Dil Diya Dard Liya (1966)

Here is another movie based on a famous English novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emile Bronte. It was published in 1847. The story tells passionate but thwarted tale of two ill-fated lovers. In 1939, famous Hollywood director William Wyler (of “Ben-Hur” among others) made this into an award winning popular movie with Merle Oberon and Sir Laurence Olivier. It was remade in 1992 with Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes, but this time around the adaptation was tame.

When producer and director Kardar approached Dilipji with the story that he was thinking of making it into a movie, Dilip Saab at once took the story to the heart. He saw an opportunity as he immediately recognized that the complex character presented many challenges that demanded different skills as an actor. On one side as a silent lover the performance demanded much restraint. On the other side the villainous nature has to bring in from the actor subtle shades of grey. On another dimension, the role offered a chance to show pangs of pathos of a heart broken lover. All said and done, when the movie was made and released, a consummate actor he is, Dilip Saab pulls off all these different facets with much magnificence and élan.

It was rumored that Dilip Saab spent much time with Kardar Saab in developing his and the character played by Pran. As a result, this is one of those roles where Pran also gives an equally unforgettable performance.

Waheeda, the object of everyone's love interest in the story, was stunningly beautiful. As usually is the case with her, she exuded not only grace and charm but pulls off her role matching scene for scene with Dilip Saab.

There are some beautiful songs Naushadji created to the lyrics penned by Shakeel Saab. Listen closely to the solos by Rafi Saab. Especially the way Rafi Saab sings the songs, "Guzre Hain Aaj Ishq Mein" and "Koi Saagar Dil Ko". Only Rafi Saab can deliver such masterpieces. But my favorite happens to be the duet of Asha and Rafi Saab, "Saawan Aaye Ya Na Aaye". This is an absolutely sweet duet with Naushadji's imprint all over it.

I am uploading all songs from the original sound track album in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set …

(Kishore) Dilli ka Thug (1958)

This beautiful album has several zany as well as a few lovely songs. With Kshoreda in the lead, one can expect a fair share of typical zaniness. Most of the songs he sang for this film fit this pattern except for one. This one is the duet "Yeh Raaten Yeh Mausam". It is one of my favorite duets of Asha and Kishoreda. Asha has several lovely numbers of her own with "Yeh Bahaar Yeh Sama" taking the honors. Then Geetaji has her trademark song, "O Babu O Lala". When it comes to these type of songs nobody does it better than Geetaji.

I am uploading all these songs from an original soundtrack album in the first post. The second post contains few extended version songs, all thanks to the Forum members.

Thank you Gargi.

I double checked my database for both albums but I couldn't come up with the same conclusion you did. I will wait for someone else to come forward and settle this. Thanks. Cheers. -S

Swarapriya,

O bandariya is certainly from Dilli ka Thug.I have this info from original CD CDF 120334 and
Hindi Film Geet Kosh.

Thank you for authenticating this Vasudev. I happen to have both original CDs. Only thing is all my CDs were converted into MP3s many moons back and have been shelved. It is almost impossible for me to go back to check these to verify one way or another.

Thank you again.

Cheers,

The song 'chal re ameeran ... o bandariya' was recorded for Dilli Ka Thug (1958); but wasn't used in Dilli Ka Thug. It was later used in Bambai Ka Chor (1962).
