I was specially looking for "Kaun Kehta Hai ki Dilli Door hai" and got the Shamshad duet of Rafi sahab "Sajaniya" as a bonus.

You made my day with these great rare songs.

Your uploads are something that one looks forward to every morning.

Thanks again and God Bless

Please keep up the great work.


Thanks and Regards

This was a banner year for Lata. Every song in this movie was a huge hit. But this didn’t come easy. While recording of these songs, Naushadji felt that Lata lacked proper Urdu diction. Lataji’s mother tongue being Marathi, this was not unusual. Naushadji spent many hours coaching Lata on how to speak Urdu and how to sing some of the songs. This becomes very evident when Lata sings the song “Uthaaye Jaa Unke Sitam” in the movie.

Lata has very rarely made outright mistakes in diction; one of these rare instances occurs in "Andaz". In the song "merii laa.Dalii rii merii laa.Dalii", there is line that goes "ghuu.NghaT kaa.Dh ke gu.Diyaa naache". It appears twice in succession; both times, Lata pronounces the "che" of "naache" in the way it is pronounced in Marathi, where this sound is distinctly different. It's quite amusing.

After 1949, one is hard put to find a Lata song where one can find fault with her diction (barring one oft-repeated glitch: pronouncing "muhabbat" as "muh*o*bbat"!).

As usual, Swarapriya, excellent work. I didn't have one of the unreleased tracks: it was a pleasure discovering it.

Warm regards,
Abhay

Abhay, there is one more instance that comes to my mind and that was in 1951. In Jhukti Hai Duniya from Sagai, Lata pronounces Begum as begham (implying "without sorrow"), not once but twice.

SP, in Lata's own words, it was Mohd. Shafi who put her in touch with a Maulana who tutored her in Urdu. This happened after the (in)famous daal-bhaat incident with Dilip Kumar during the making of Andaz.

Abhay, there is one more instance that comes to my mind and that was in 1951. In Jhukti Hai Duniya from Sagai, Lata pronounces Begum as begham (implying "without sorrow"), not once but twice.

SP, in Lata's own words, it was Mohd. Shafi who put her in touch with a Maulana who tutored her in Urdu. This happened after the (in)famous daal-bhaat incident with Dilip Kumar during the making of Andaz.

Aditya, I'm not familiar with the daal-bhaat incident you're referring to here. Can you please illuminate? Thanks a lot. Cheers. -S
