(Amitabh) Guddi (1971)

Amitabh made a guest appearance in this movie in which his future wife, Jaya Bhaduri, made her first adult acting debut. In 1963 she appeared as a child artiste in Satyajit Ray's story about Calcutta, "Mahanagar". She has to wait for another eight years to grow up before she got an opportunity to play a lead role in Hrishida's "Guddi". But its not Jaya who stole the show. It was the singing of a new plaback singer named Vani Jairam that was the talk of the town.

Vani, a classical Carnatic singer by training, was giving a public performance when she was spotted by Vasant Desai, the music director. He was about to compose music for "Guddi" and signed Vani immediately to sing all three songs for the movie. Vani became an overnight sensation and a celebrity with these songs, especially for that unforgettable song "Bol Re Papeehara". The song was based on a Hindustani raga, Miyan Malahar, and Vani's classical training background immensely helped in singing the song. It is one of those songs that seem to stay with you forever.

Jairam was recognized for her great singing with several awards. She received The Lions International Best Promising Singer Award, The All India Cine Goers Association Award, The All India Film-goers Association Award, and the Tansen Sammaan Award. In the years to come she won even more accolades; among them three times The Best Singer National Award.

Here are the three sweet and melodious songs from the pleasing voice of Vani ...

(Dharmendra) Anpadh (1962)

Here is one of the best scores of Madan Mohan Saab. Out of seven songs, Lata sang five solos. All of these songs are marvelous but at least three of them have gained strength through times for their sheer beauty of compositions and renditions. These are "Aap Ki Nazron", "Hai Isee Mein Pyaar Ki Aabroo", and "Jiya Le Gayo". I am uploading these and others in the first post. In the second post I am uploading several specials.

Now for the songs from the original soundtrack album ...

Songs of "Anpadh (1962)" Continued ...

I am uploading several specials in this post. I am uploading a version of "Aap Ki Nazron Se" with Mala Sinha's introduction. She fondly recalls friendship between her father and Madanji. This is from the album "Legends: Madan Mohan - The Instinctive Genius (CD 2)". I am also uploading Anuradha Paudwal's version of the same song from her 2-CD album "A Tribute to Madan Mohan". From the same album, I am uploading another song by Anuradha Paudwal, a version of "Hai Isee Mein Pyaar Ki Aabroo". Finally, I am uploading an abbreviated version of the same song sung by the venerable Mohan Saab. This is taken from the album "Legends: Madan Mohan - The Instinctive Genius (CD 2)". Here are these songs ...

(Amitabh) Anand (1971)

Here is a heart rendering touching story only Hrishida seems like capable of making. Rajesh in the title role is very endearing. The ease with which he goes through his role, even when he was aware of the eventual fate of his life, makes it one of his best performances as an actor. Amitabh in support gives a greatly subdued and understated performance complementing Rajesh's bursting enthusiam for life and love.

There are only four songs in this movie but they all are winners. I am uploading these in my first post. In the second post I am uploading several specials. Here is the first set of songs ...

(Rajendra) Toofan Aur Deeya (1956)

This movie is from the production house of the great Shantaram. It was directed by his nephew I believe, named Prabhat Kumar. I don't believe he directed any other Hindi movies. I read some place that (Baby) Nanda, who has the prncipal role in this movie, is also related to Shantaram. This was a good movie and has some great music by Vasant Desai. There is a beautiful song by Geetaji, "Meri Aan Bhagwaan". My personal favorite is the title song by Mannada, "Nirbal Se Ladaai". Most of these songs were contributed by the members of this Forum. Thank you. Here are the songs ...
