Concluding Songs from "Police (1958)"...

Here are extended versions of some of the songs from this film. Please note that quality of these songs is uneven and varies from poor to fair...

(Majrooh) Police (1958)

This film was co-produced by Pradeep Kumar. In otherwise a dull routine film there were two highlights. One was Madhubala. The other was the music.

Madhubala stole the show with a hilarious performance. It became clear to me while watching this movie where Madhuri Dixit picked up her mannerisms and talent for comedy. She probably has seen this and other Madhubala movies many a times to develop the personality she projected while she was at the top.

Music by Hemantda and songs are simply great. It is not the normal type of song composition one expects from Hemantda. Most songs have a western music tone and they are simply rollickingly rocking good. With Geetaji singing especially for Madhubala (she sang for others in the movie as well) you know they will be bubbly. To top this, if you are a fan of the duets sung by Geetaji and Hemantda, then you are in for a real treat. Of the eight songs in the film seven duets are by Geetaji and Hemantda. I am uploading six of them here. If anyone of our members can help with the missing song, shown in red italics in the table below, please kindly do. The song “Mini Mini” from this film has the beginning and shades of Shankar & Jaikishan’s “Mini Mini” from “Kath Putli (1957)”.

My favorites of this album are the songs “Chale Hum Kahaan” and “O O O O Baby”. Later apparently was inspired by an English song. I am uploading these and other songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. The second post contains extended versions of some songs. All these except for one have the same verbiage as the other songs except they have extra music on both sides of the song. The exception is the song “Chale Hum Kahaan”. This has an extra antara.

Here are the songs in the first post…

(Rajinder Krishan) Teerandaz (1955)

Here are the songs from this album...

(Shailendra) Musafir (1957)

This was Hrishida’s maiden directorial venture. He wrote its story, co-wrote its screenplay with Ritwik Ghatak, edited the film, and produced it. It was experimental in the sense that the movie tells three short stories about people who come and stay in the same rental place and then move away.

The movie has great music composed by Salilda. Lataji has two outstanding songs; one solo and the other a duet. Talking about the duet, Lataji’s co-singer was Dilip Saab. What an outstanding job he did as a singer. This song will be remembered for a long time to come. We all know what a great actor he is, but he could be such a great singer as well is a revelation to me. I am uploading these and some beautiful music clips (played superbly on a violin) in two back-to-back posts.

Here is a word about the song “Ek Aaaye-2”. The earlier portion of this song is identical to the song “Ek Aaye-1”. The second portion that contains new material however is mostly obliterated because of the overlapping dialogues. Nevertheless I am uploading this song as it is in the film.

Now for the songs in the first post…

Some Music Clips from "Musafir (1957)"...

Here are some music clips from this fine album...

[swarapriya]

(Shakeel) Grahasti (1963)

This family drama directed by Kishore Sahu tells about a seemingly nice man who is secretly having another family. The movie was a hit and was later successfully remade in Tamil and Telugu. The movie came from Gemini Studios and this was the third family drama in a row they made that became hits. The other two were “Ghunghat (1960)” and “Gharana (1961)”. Incidentally all these three films had music by Ravi and lyrics by Badayuni Saab.

Part of the success of the film was due to another fine effort from the combination of the music director Ravi ji and the lyricist Shakeel Saab. Here are the songs from this album…

(Anand Bakshi) Teesra Kaun (1965)

This movie was the first association of RD with the lyricist Anand Bakshi Saab. This pair together in the years to come worked together in nearly 100 films giving us some of the most memorable hit songs. But the songs from this film do not auger well about the future of such good things to come. RD's score in this film is uninspiring and just about average. One can hardly remember any of these songs later on.

The movie for a suspense mystery drama also was disappointing. Anyway, here are all songs and some music clips from this film...

(Javed Akhtar) Darmiyaan (1997)

Kalpana Lajmi who made herself a name with the stunning “Rudaali (1993)” tries to tackle the subject of eunuchs, who are neither women nor men, they are in between (thus “darmiyaan”). Unfortunately for Lajmiji, she spends too much time on the character Kiron Kher portrayed, that of an actress, who happened to be the mother of the eunuch, who once ruled the roost in the film industry to only lose her position as she got older and because of various other reasons such as alcohol, gambling, vanity, and other vices. If only Kalpanaji concentrated on the central theme that the title suggested, it could have been such a wonderful film. In the end, in spite of its moments, the movie disappoints.

Interestingly, the role of eunuch was originally offered to Shah Rukh Khan. After deliberating for a few weeks, he decided against it. Then Lajmi found Arif Zakaria to portray the role of the eunuch.

Bhupen Hazarika’s music lifts the film considerably. At the time of making this film, he was married to Lajmi. There are several great songs in the film. I am uploading these in two back-to-back posts.

The song “Duniya Paraayee” appears piecemeal throughout the film four separate times. Each time a different piece is sung. I am uploading the CD version of this song which includes all the four pieces. The fourth piece or antara, “Socha Hai”, in the DVD has some extra music associated with it. I am uploading it as well if anyone is interested in this extended version.

According to the titles in the DVD, there is another song “O Raja Ji” sung by Rita Ganguly. This was neither on the CD nor on the DVD. If anyone has this song, please kindly share with rest of us. Thank you.

Here are the songs in the first post…
