Yeh Gul(zar)istan Hamara, Films of Gulzar Options

Gharonda (1977)

Here is a beautiful album from Jaidevji. There are only a few songs in this film and Runa Laila sings three of the four songs. She came from Bangla Desh, in the wake of its liberation, and had few assignments in Bombay but wasn't able to sustain her popularity.

I am also including an audio clip of the song "Ek Akela" with Gulzarji's prologue. This is taken from his album "Fursat ke Raat Din".

Now for a description of these songs from an original soundtrack album and the songs themselves ...

Mausam (1975)

Here is another beautiful album from Gulzarji. It was a great movie with Sharmila shining again. There are several good songs in this film with both versions of "Dil Dhoondta Hai" taking the top honors. I am uploading all the songs in back-to-back two posts. In the first post I am uploading songs from an original soundtrack album. The second post has a couple of specials.

Now for the details of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves ...

Thank you so much SP. for this beautiful album.

Madan Mohanji was a master musician. This is just one small but an important instance of it. Cheers Ketaki. -S

Jaidevji was a true disciple of the great Burmanda. However, he carved himself a name by putting his own stamp on several movies for which he gave music. This is an excellent example of it.

Jaidev had consistently given superior music for Hindi cinema for decades. However, he was not
as prolific a composer as a lot of others like Shankar-Jaikishen, O P Nayyar or even his guru SDB.
He was in the same ilk as composers like Khayyam.
This film had superb music. I am particularly fond of the sad version "Mujhe pyaar tumse nahi hai"
by Runa Laila. The version that I have has a couple of minutes of dialog by Amol Palekar and Zarina
Wahab which really adds to the drama of the song. And it also sets up the story of the film.

SB,

The original CD song did have the dialogue. I decided to include the song portion only. And, I am with you about Jaidevji's state of affairs. It was very unfortunate. But that is the way things are in life.

Concluding Songs from "Kinara (1977)" ...

I am including here three audio clips from different albums. Both "Naam Gum Jaayega" songs were full songs, but I have included only the commentary and a portion of the song. I am not sure about the source of the third clip.

Here are these audio clips ...
