Shankar Dasgupta sang a handful of filmi songs in the late-40’s early-50’s for top-notch composers like Khemchand Prakash and Anil Biswas before fading out of view. I attach some of his songs. Hearing his beautiful voice, its difficult to understand why he was not as successful as others like Mukesh, Talat, Rafi and Manna Dey.
A few of the songs originated from senior HF Members. I haven’t been able to get any bio-data on him on the internet. If any member can provide some information about him, that would be great! Song: Dil Kha Kar Chot Judai Ki Singer: Shankar Dasgupta Film: Daulat (1949) Music: Hanuman Prasad Format : mp3, 128 kbps ; Duration : 3.07 Song: Bar Bar Tum Soch Rahi Ho Singer: Lata, Shankar Dasgupta Film: Girls School (1949) Music: Anil Biswas Format : mp3, 128 kbps ; Duration : 3.24 Song: Chahe Kitni Kathin Dagar Ho Singer: Suraiya, Shankar Dasgupta Film: Jeet (1949) Music: Anil Biswas Format : mp3, 128 kbps ; Duration : 3.28 Song: Lehron Se Khele Chanda Singer: Geeta Dutt, Shankar Dasgupta Film: Aahuti (1950) Music: D C Dutt Format : mp3, 128 kbps ; Duration : 2.42 Song: Dukh Se Bhara Hua Hai Dil Singer: Shankar Dasgupta Film: Jaan Pehchan (1950) (entire album uploaded recently but included here for completeness) Music: Khemchand Prakash Format : mp3, 160 kbps ; Duration : 3.59 Song: Hum Kya Bataein Tumse Kyon Door Singer: Shankar Dasgupta Film: Jaan Pehchan (1950) (entire album uploaded recently but included here for completeness) Music: Khemchand Prakash Format : mp3, 160 kbps ; Duration : 3.48 Song: Ye Ishq Nahin Aasan Singer: Shankar Dasgupta Film: Machalti Haseena (1950) Music: Basant Prakash (unknown composer – great tune!!!) Format : mp3, 128 kbps ; Duration : 3.12 Song: Tera Mera Mera Tera Pyar Ho Gaya Singer: Meena Kapoor, Shankar Dasgupta Film: Doraha (1952) Music: Anil Biswas Format : mp3, 128 kbps ; Duration : 2.45 Song: Sun Lo Aji Sun Lo Pate Kee Baat Singer: Shankar Dasgupta, Suman Kalyanpur Film: Do Roti (1957) Music: Roshan Lal Format : mp3, 128 kbps ; Duration : 3.16 Any other good filmi or non-filmi songs uploaded by other members would be appreciated. Kind Regards Faraaj Kind Regards Faraaj Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo There is only one better thing than music - live music. - Jacek Bukowski I hate music, especially when it's played. - Jimmy Durante No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. - W. H. Auden |

Kind Regards Faraaj Faraaj ji Many thanks for posting these lovely songs of S D Gupta. AFAIK, Basant Prakash was the younger brother of the famous composer Khemchand Prakash ji. He composed the song "Aa jaane wafaa aa" from Anarkali sung by Geeta Dutt ji. Later the entire score of Anarkali was done by C Ramchandra ji, but this song was retained in the film. There are a few more films of Basant Prakash, but as you can guess, not a single film which can be called a musical blockbuster. Thanks again Cheers Parag Please visit www.geetadutt.com

Thanks for the info - I didn't know the family connection. Khemchand Prakash was probably the finest composer of the 1940s and I guess some of the Rajasthani magic rubbed off on his brother (at least as far as this song is concerned). Mahesh Bhai Thanks for the kind words and upload. Anil Biswas is always good to listen to. I liked the song - even with the storm effects! Milan had some good songs like Jis Ne Bana Di Bansuri and Gun Gun Bole Bhanwarwa. I'll be waiting for the day you upload the entire album on the Anil Biswas forum! Waheed Bhai I uploaded what I had of Shankar Dasgupta. Its rare to find his songs and I think some HF Member is your best bet because nothing else of his seems to be available anywhere on the internet. I'd be just as keen as you to hear the two songs you mention and to find out what happened to prevent him becoming a famous singer.

Faraaj thanks for opening up a thread on lesser known singer like Shankar Dasgupta.
 Let me check the ones I have. Just found one from Dil bhi tera hum bhi tere 1960 --- music by Kalyanji-Anandji --- lyrics by K.L. Pardesi Aaj iski hai to kal uski hua karti hai ... --- Shankar Dasgupta and Chorus. |

Thanks for the uploads Waheed Bhai and Mahesh Bhai
Exon Ji Thanks for the brief info - at least it tells us that he seems to have spent his lifetime in music without getting due recognition. Take the song Aaj Is Ki uploaded by Waheed Saab as an example - the singing is no less than that of any top singer of the 50s-60s.
