there are 2 parts of this song
as Per HFGK- 1 st part is sung by Om prakash & second part there are Kishore Kumar & krishna goel(although in HFGK have mentioned others) & to me it looks more of Krishna goel rather than C ramchandra.
others opinion is required.
thanks

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Junglee (1961)

Subodh Mukerji produced and directed this film from his own story and screenplay. Saira Banu was introduced in this film that became a huge success. It was a combination of things that clicked big for this massive entertainer. It was a mixture of Saira’s fresh looks, Shammi’s boisterous performance, lovely Kashmir for the location shooting, and to a great measure the music, that all contributed to the film’s success.

The music was composed by the inimitable pair of Shankar & Jaikishan. They were assisted by Dattaram & Sebastian. Every song from the film became a chartbuster. The song “Chaahe Mujhe” became a trademark for Shammi who graduated from the rebel star he was in “Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957)” to the “Yahoo” star from this film onwards.

The story goes that it was Shammi’s idea to introduce “Yahoo” before the title song “Chaahe Mujhe”. The words “Yahoo” were vocalized by Prayagraaj and not Rafi Saab. Prayagraaj was one of the writers of the film. The scene in the film was originally supposed to be shot in Pehalgam in Kashmir. But there was not enough snow when the shooting was planned. For this song alone, the entire unit moved to Kufri near Simla where Saira & Shammi rolling down the snow was picturized.

I am uploading all songs, a few specials, and several instrumentals in four back-to-back posts. The first two posts contain all the songs and specials. The third and the fourth posts contain instrumentals.

(Majrooh) Ek Raaz (1963)

This Shakti Samanta directed film had a simple tale that is infused with unforgettable songs. The movie was fun to watch mainly because it takes you back when things were so simple in our lives. Also for a change performance of Kishoreda was restrained without much of his usual slapstick comedy. However, as mentioned, the real highlight of the film was its music. Chitraguptji's music was simply superb. Almost all songs are excellent.

The movie starred Jamuna, a Telugu and Tamil film actress from South. Her career in the film industry spanned over four decades during which she acted in 200 plus films. She also starred in a few Hindi films. These include “Miss Mary (1957)”, “Ek Raaz (1963)”, “Hamrahi (1963)”, “Beti Bete (1964)”, “Rishte Nate (1965)”, “Milan (1967)”, and others. Most of these films were huge commercial successes. She won Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for her performance in “Milan”.

It is hard to pick a favorite from such a melodious album. But I have not one but two favorites, both solos by Kishoreda, the engrossing "Agar Sunn Le" and the endearing "Paayalwaali Dekhna".

Here are these and the rest of the songs from this beautiful album...

(Rajinder Krishan) Bindya (1960)

Many film productions in the South in the 50’s, 60’s and even to some extent to early 70’s made movies mostly to do with family dramas. These production houses include AVM, Gemini, Prasad Productions, Vijaya Productions and others. Their formula was simple. If the movie was a success in one of the regional languages remake them in Hindi. Most of these Hindi versions made big money for their production houses. This movie by AVM, “Bindya”, was one such family drama, but was a flop.

This movie is simply bad. You have seen these type of stories so many times before. You are simply tired of watching these rehashes. Watching these type of movies one wonders whether the people involved with these are testing your intelligence and patience. This one is simply that revolting.

This movie pairs Padmini opposite Balraj Sahni, a total mismatch. To make matters worse there is a fine song “Dekhiye” that Sahni Saab croons romancing Padmini. It was difficult to watch.

One decent thing about this movie was its music. Less heralded Iqbal Qureshi Saab was its music director. He came up with a few winners. These include the above mentioned “Dekhiye”, a couple of solos by Lata, and a solo by Rafi Saab. There is also a lengthy song by Om Prakash, “Hari Om”, that tells the story of Krishn and Sudama in comic overtones. I am uploading this almost in its entirety as it appears in the film (very few edits) and a briefer version with no dialogues.

Here are the above songs and other songs from this film…

(Rajinder Krishan) Pyaar (1950)

I am re-uploading these songs of early Nargis & Raj Kapoor film on request...

For this Raj Kapoor’s film not only Burmanda composed music but had Kishoreda sing songs for Raj. Remember this was back in 1950. Raj did not yet settle on Mukesh as his voice. That was still a few years away.

My apologies for the poor quality of the songs even though some of them are decent enough.

Here are the songs…

(Anand Bakshi) Tamanna (1969)

There is hardly anything worth to write home about this totally nonsensical family drama. Watching this type of movie one wonders how people, sometimes our own, can be so bad. These are simply revolting one dimensional people void of feelings or emotions.

Two solo songs, one by Mukesh and the other by Rafi, especially that of Rafi Saab are decent to listen to.

Here are these and other songs from this film…

(Hasrat Jaipuri) April Foool (1964)

Shankar & Jaikishan made sure that this day, April 1, celebrated as an All Fool's Day around the world, will be remembered by the Indian music lovers forever by composing some of their beautiful and memorable music for this film. Subodh Mukherjee, who introduced Saira Banu in "Junglee" in 1960, is back here with another winner with her in this film.

All songs from this film were chart busters. S&J were assisted by Sebastian and Dattaram.

The song “Aa Gale Lag Jaa” I am uploading here has over 5 minutes of music preceding it. This is the “Pool Aquatics Show” in the movie. I am also uploading this separately as a music clip in the third post.

I am uploading all of the hit songs plus a few music clips from the film in three back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…
