Shair Aur Sargam, Songs From Movies of 7 Great Lyricists Options

[swarapriya]

(Rajinder Krishan) Mohar (1959)

In this movie the wife and husband team of Geeta Bali and Shammi Kapoor worked together. They worked in five films altogether. These were “Miss Coca Cola (1955)”, “Coffee House (1957)”, “Mujrim (1958)”, “Mohar (1959)”, and “Jab Se Tumhe Dekha Hai (1963)”.

This is yet another film where Madan Mohan Ji worked with his favorite lyricist Rajinder Krishan. It is their fifth movie during 1959. These were “Baap Bete”, “Chacha Zindabad”, “Duniya Na Mane”, and “Minister”. Earlier I have uploaded songs from all these films in our Forum.

In this film, “Mohra”, both solos by Hemantda (“Kho Gaya”) and Talat Saab (“Yaad Jab”) are excellent. My favorite is the one by Hemantda. Here are these and other songs from this film…

[Viraj Padhye]

I second you on this Taiyabji. I referred book on Suman by Mangala Khadilkar and even it credits the song to Suman though HFGK has not mentioned anything.

Taiyab & Viraj,

So what is the consensus? Should "Ladi" be by Suman and "Dholak" by Usha? Can someone please confirm. Thanks.

S

Yes, "Ladi" is by Suman and add Usha in "Dholak" in addition to existing singers.

(Rajinder Krishan) Ladki (1953)

I am re-uploading these songs on request...

M.V. Raman, who earlier introduced Vyjayanti Mala to Hindi audience in “Bahar (1951)”, is back again for the same concern AVM. He also has Kishoreda who was also in “Bahar”. I saw this movie recently and was pretty disappointed. It is very dated and some of the characters are simply revolting. Even the makeup was done sloppily (Randhir for example). This movie was very very difficult to watch.

As in the case with “Bahar”, Vyjayanti Mala dominates the proceedings in this film also. Her other costar is Anjali Devi, a popular star from the Telugu film industry. Anjali Devi produced and starred in the 1958 folklore film “Suvarna Sundari” that has fabulous award winning music by her husband Adi Narayana Rao.

There are tons of songs in the film. Lataji sang all the songs for Vyjayanti Mala. Geetaji sang for Anjali Devi. Screen credits list Sudarshanam & Dhaniram (encrypted as SD in the “Music” column in the table below) as the music directors. But I found various references that credit C. Ramchandra (encrypted as CR) as another composer of some other songs. I am hoping someone from our Forum can verify this.

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

According HFGK all your tagging is correct except AYRE AANKH for which (according to HFGK) , most probably C ramchandra, have given the music.

Got it. Unless this is confirmed, I will leave it alone. Thanks Taiyab.

(Anand Bakshi) Raja Saab (1969)

Once you see the opening scene it is a cinch to predict what the story is about. One can easily tell what the next scene or situation going to be. This predictability robs any fun one might expect from this film.

This film was made by the same team that made the hit “Jab Jab Phool Khile (1965)”. Same Production Company. Same director. Same leading pair. Same music directors. Same lyricist. Even the stories are almost similar. Also, both movies were shot partly in Kashmir. Some of the scenes in Kashmir (like “shikara”) look just about the same.

There are several songs in the film. The score by Kalyanji & Anandji is about average. One song, by Suman Kalyanpur and Rafi Saab, “Tu Jungle Ki”, is racy and fun to listen to. This again goes back to the song by the same pair in the “Jab Jab” film, “Naa Naa Karte” which was also racy.

I am uploading all songs and some music clips from the film in two back-to-back posts. Here are the songs in the first post…

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai (1961) - Songs

Nasir Husain (see his picture below) who was with Filmistan Studios for a long time was a successful writer of many hit films for them. He turned into a director with “Tumsa Nahin Dekha” in 1957. The movie was made by Filmistan and became a huge box-office hit that established Shammi Kapoor as a bonafied star. When S. Mukherjee left Filmistan to form his own company, Filmalaya, he had Nasir Husain direct their first movie. This was “Dil Deke Dekho” in 1959. This movie became a blockbuster and heralded a new heroine, Asha Parekh and a new music director, Usha Khanna. After these two successes, Nasir Husain decided to form his own company and established his production house, Nasir Husain Films. His first movie released in 1961 was “Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai”. This was also a runaway hit. Interestingly, besides directing, Husain Saab wrote stories of all these three movies. Except for small variations, they all have similar themes.

This was the only movie Dev was collaborated with Husainji. Dev was offered to star in “Teesri Manzil” but declined as he was still fresh from the success of his “Guide” and wanted some time off. This is the only film of Husain Saab for which Shankar & Jaikishan gave music.

I am uploading songs, music clips, specials, and instrumentals from this film in four back-to-back posts. The first two posts contain all of the songs and a few music clips from the film. The third post contains some specials. The fourth post contains instrumentals of some of the popular songs from this film.

Here are the songs in the first post…
