Short Yet So Sweet, Geeta ji songs less than 2 minute long Options

[parag_sankla]

In HFM, we hear songs as long as more than 10 minutes (Na toh karwan ki talash hain from Barsat ki Raat by Manna da, Rafi sahab, Asha ji, Batish sahab etc for example) and as short as 1.23 min (Abhi toh main jawan hoon from Afsana by Lata ji).

How many short songs of Geeta ji we know? IMHO, 3 min is a standard duration, so we can take 2 minute or less as our measure for a "short" song.

The famous song "Preetam aan milo" from Mr and Mrs 55 is also less than 2 minutes. The YT link is here

Here is a snippet kind of song "Ho lakh museebat raste mein" from Pyasa, another less than 2 min long song!

Aonther song I recently saw on YT is Cham cham chamke from Do Dulhe. It is just 1.55 min long and is a sweet "shadi sangeet" song

More inputs welcome from HF members


Thanks

There are also snippets of 2 songs which are only on the soundtrack:

1) Ho band hua yeh dwar kabhi na - (Part-2 of the famous bhajan "Tora manawa kyon ghabarayin" from the film Saadhana)

2) Dharati se door gore (Part-2 of the same song from the film Sangdil)

Any more??
