(Majrooh) Paisa Hi Paisa (1956)

This album consists of 15 songs. I am uploading 13 of them here. Two missing songs are shown in red italics in the table below. I am requesting members to share these songs if they can. Thank you.

Unfortunately some of the songs I am uploading here are of only fair quality. Most of this problem stems from hissing noise. I tried to eliminate as much as possible but still the noise remains.

I am not sure about singer assignments of two of the songs. In the song “Sone Ka Laddu” is it Asha or is it Meena Kapoor? Also in the song “Taqdeer Ki Chidiya” is there a third singer? If so, is it Sudha Malhotra? If it is Malhotra, this will be a rarity. The only other song she sang with Kishoreda was the smashing beauty “Aaj Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai” in the 1960 film “Girl Friend”. I am requesting our members to help clarify the correctness of the singer assignments for the two songs mentioned. Thank you kindly again.

I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set…

Dear Swarapriya

Thanks for the uploads.

As far as I can tell, "Le Lo Pyar Ka Laddu" is part of "Le Lo Sone Ka Laddu". Can this be confirmed

Thanks

My Dear Raman,

Strictly speaking you are correct. The "Sone Ka" starting at 4:00 minute mark somewhat parallels "Pyaar Ka". In "Sone" there is cross-talk by some of the characters. In "Pyaar" there is no interference as there is no cross-talk. Also, "Pyaar" is 35 seconds longer. May be I should have marked them as part 1 and part 2 of the same song. That thought occurred to me while preparing these songs but somehow made a decision to upload them as separate.

I will leave things as they are taking your comment at heart.

Thanks & cheers,
S

I am uploading some of the songs from this album below. Most of these were contributed by one of our Forum members, late Erum Hashmi. Thank you Erum. May your soul rest in peace.

It seems like that at least four songs listed in red italics in the table below are missing. I am requesting members to share these if they can. Thank you.

Please note that the quality of some of these songs is very poor.

Here are the songs I have...

(Shailendra) Shree 420 (1955)

This was another fine offering from the great film craftsman Raj Kapoor. It was a joint collaboration between Raj Kapoor and K.A. Abbas, who were so successful with their previous venture “Awara (1951)”. This movie was a precursor to "Jagte Raho" which came just one year after “420”. Both movies had almost parallel themes. A stranger comes to a new town and loses his way in the big city. In the case of 420, the stranger was an educated man with a simple heart. Soon he finds the urge for making some quick money irresistible and is lured into doing shady work. This was the story of a man caught in conflict between the good conscience stemming from high self-esteem on one side and enticing material aspirations on the other side. In the end his good nature prevails and his true love triumphs.

The movie has some of the most memorable music composed by Shankar & Jaikishan. Each song is a sparkling gem. The song "Mera Joota Hai" was an international phenomenon. One of the most beautifully picturized romantic scene in rain was the song "Pyaar Hua". Young Rishi Kapoor makes a brief appearance in this song. "Ramayya Vastavayya" was another song that was a rage. "Vastavayya" is a Telugu word meaning "will you come?” Shankar, with his Hyderabad background, had songs sprinkled with an occasional Telugu word (for example the song “Naach Re Mann Batkamma” in “Rajkumar (1964)” – “Batkamma” is Telugu word and the “Hum Kaale Hain” from “Gumnaam (1965)”. This song contains the word “Tandaana”, a Telugu word). A newspaper account said that Shankar, a longtime resident of Hyderabad, while driving in the city streets heard some construction workers singing a song and humming this word. He decided to use the word right away in the “Ramayya” song he was composing at that time.

Shailendra also recounts how "Mud Mud Ke" song came about. One fine evening he was taking a stroll in a park in Mumbai with his friends Shankar and Jaikishan. They couldn’t help notice a beautiful woman who happened to come across their path. Jaikishan, still a bachelor, turned back several times to get another glimpse of the woman. This gave inspiration to Shailendra to create the song on the spot. Incidentally, both Shailendra and Jaikishan appear briefly in the film. Jaikishan was in two scenes as a boyfriend of Nadira. He could be seen in the song “Mud Mud Ke” shaking hand with Raj.

Interestingly, even though Mukesh was settled by this time as the voice of Raj, Shankar & Jaikishan utilize the talent of Manna Dey in three songs for him for playback. These are absolute delights, the solo “Dil Ka Haal Sune Dilwaala”, and the duets “Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh” and “Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua”. Especially the duet “Pyaar Hua” is a song for the ages. It is one lovely romantic song with some unforgettable music. The vibes from this song leave you with a glowing youthful feeling.

I am uploading these songs, some specials, and several instrumentals of the songs in back-to-back five posts. The first two posts contain songs and some music clips from the film. The third post also contains few specials. The final two posts contain several instrumentals.

A note about the song “Pyaar Hua”. This appears in two versions in the second post. The shorter version is from an original soundtrack album. The second, longer version is from the movie itself. However, this one is not available on any CD I know of or any DVD. It has some extra vocals that are absent from the other two media. Unfortunately the audio of this extra from 2:09 to 2:32 is weak and easily noticeable from rest of the song. Apart from that blemish rest of the song is in good shape.

Here are the details of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves …
