Now, i literally stole the idea from Humtum Bhai..and Venkat.
I had some time to kill too hence the initiation.The idea is simple enough. A little music bit will be uploaded. You just have to identify the song. The file is uploaded on a third party site, so that valuable Ratio wont be wasted on our Quiz. I start this with my altime favourite song. Ofcourse, am sure that you people will come out with in no time with an answer...
It is amazing how these music seeps into our brains to stay there forever. I still remember the order of songs in those cassettes we got recorded in local music shop..which we did two decades before...Even when the cassettes themselves got sucked into the blackholes of time ...Yaadein to rehjate hain !

If I am not wrong....then it is the immortal song of Md. Rafi sahab from the film Kaajal...and one of my favourite songs of Rafi sahab..

Chhoo Lene Do Nazuk Honthon Ko

Am I right Simpleji??? or anything else

Subir

Posted by: venkat Jun 19 2008, 04:48 PM

SF ,

Hearty congrats for starting this thread. I know this will be a roaring hit!

Biswas Ji is absolutely right.

That is the pre-Antara interlude bit. You can hear after that music, "Achhon Ko Bura Sthabith Karna Duniya Ki Purani Aadat Hai"!

Venkat

Posted by: venkat Jun 19 2008, 04:51 PM

I think in this quiz, anyone shuld be allowed to throw up a question for others to answer! Right?

Next, I think the scope of this quiz should be all pre-1980 HFM.

Your views, SF and others?

Venkat

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 19 2008, 04:58 PM

Thanks Venkatji for confirmation.....and I agree with you...all should be pre 80s

Subir

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 19 2008, 05:11 PM

One from my side

Subir

Subir Ji,

What else but the duet of your fav. singer Manna Dey with Asha from Reshmi Rumal-- MD:Babul.

"zulfon ki ghata lekar sawan ki pari aayi"

Right?

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 19 2008, 06:59 PM

Venkat..you are absolutely right..
I too agree for the pre 80 term...I am an ignoramus after that..


Here is one more..from my side...


http://www.mediafire.com/?xnn0blucdlw

Posted by: venkat Jun 19 2008, 07:03 PM

Better to be one!

One more thing. If any question is not answered quickly as the two above, the questioner should wait for a minimum of 24 hours before declaring the answer.

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 19 2008, 08:01 PM

Agreed !

Posted by: venkat Jun 20 2008, 08:35 AM

Hain Koyi Aur Questions?

SF, this thread will develop momentum gradually and, in any case, will be of interest to only a few people. Keep it going.

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 08:46 AM

No Questions at all.
All it takes is a couple of minutes of meddling with a software and we all get to enjoy this thread... We will run it..no problem. Keep Guessing...

Posted by: venkat Jun 20 2008, 08:49 AM

I wish I knew that cutter technology. I too would have posted questions.

But, on a rethink, let me only participate as a replier. My questions may tend to be too tough!

BTW, advertisers are already backing this thread. Indiaproperties., ICICI, etc.

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 20 2008, 09:54 AM

Simpleji...I couldn't recognize the song...Will u pls declare??

Subir

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 10:08 AM

Subir...24 hours is the limit agreed upon.
Anyway, here is one more clue..another interlude...hope venkat is also around.


http://www.mediafire.com/?amsrjwg4m9d

Posted by: venkat Jun 20 2008, 10:10 AM

Subir Ji,

I must congratulate you for giving that interlude of that great song, "Zulfon Ki Ghata Lekar". In fact, Its instrumusic is superb, what with a peculiar percussion that keeps the song going throughout!

But, don't you think that was a tough Q?

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 10:13 AM

The second clue i uploaded is a sweet sweet shehnai...Am sure that YOU will have it in a Ziffy..

Posted by: venkat Jun 20 2008, 10:21 AM

Tough one, SF. But you need to clarify which one is which, prelude or interlude?

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 10:23 AM

Venkat..both are interludes..before first and second stanzas. Prelude to the song is....too much obvious as there is a chorus. Will upload it too..if you want it..

Posted by: venkat Jun 20 2008, 10:26 AM

Some nomenclature issues need sorting out. Prelude is just opening music before the song starts. Interlude is all the musical bits that come after the song starts, including the ones between Mukhda and Antara!

Venkat

PS. If you call the music between Mukhda and Antara as Prelude, then everything is Prelude only!

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 10:29 AM

Sorry Venkat..it is a typo..i edited my post, but you were first.
Both are interludes...there will be only one prelude for a song..right ?

Posted by: venkat Jun 20 2008, 10:36 AM

Ok, so, both are interludes. But, that does not take me any nearer the answer. I give up for others like Anupama Ji to come in!

One more thing. It is necessary to give a distinct ID No. for each Question. By that , you can handle multiple Q's simultaneously, before one or more are answered!

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 10:41 AM

Venkat..yes, that makes sense, to give numbers for the files. If Choo lene do..is Song 1, Julfon ki ghata lekar.. is song 2...what i posted will be song 3. the clues may be numbered Song 3..clue 1...so forth.. That should do it..?
BTW, i got this familiar software in spanish version..and that stores sound files as... Nuevo archivo de sonido by default, which i presume to be New Sound file.. now, music is indeed universal.

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 08:36 PM

Now, as the time is up...I am posting a very revealing Prelude to this great song..by Manna Da...Think all are going to jump on me..


http://www.mediafire.com/?cswc22y29vc

Posted by: pinky Jun 20 2008, 09:30 PM

I know the song venkat, it is from Paigham right?

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 09:32 PM

Pinky..you are right, as always.
Actually this is the third and last clue to the song...venkat and subir have been really into it...

Posted by: simplefable Jun 20 2008, 09:42 PM

QUIZ NO. 4



Here is one more gem of HFM...and this bit is the prelude to the song..any guesses ?

Quiz No. 4 .........Clue No. 1


http://www.mediafire.com/?2wegl2hbegi

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 08:55 AM

SF, just d/led this and got it in the first hearing.

The Answer:

"Chand Aahen Bharega, Phool Gul--- Lenge, Husn Ki Baat Chali To Sab Tera Naam Lenge"

A great Mukesh song (MD:KA) from Film:Phool Bane Angaare(1963).

Well, I do not have this song in my collection, but I am sure of the answer!

Venkat

PS. Actually, even if you had given the prelude as the first clue to that Paigham song earlier, it would still have been adequately diffcult.

One more thing. The musical bits which are different and somewhat off-track, like the one given by Subir Ji from Reshmi Rumaal and your this Chand Aahen Bharega one, are the appropriate ones for this quiz. Just an opinion. Need not be right!

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 09:05 AM

Venkat...That is marvelous. the way you recognized the song...
I could have come out with the answer for the Paigham song..but not this one. May be because they are our favourites..?
It is difficult to comprehend what you mean by off-track..as i am literally novice when it comes to taala..and raaga...or even some instruments which are played in the song..
Anyway..will try to pick something which all will enjoy.. Most of the preludes will be easily recognized..but not the interludes....that is why the inclination is towards them...May be we can keep the prelude as the final clue??

Here is the beautiful song for your collection...

Chand aahe bharega..
Phool bane angare..
Kalyan ji anand ji
Anand bakshi
mp3, 128 kbps, 3.28 min

[attachmentid=214999]

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 09:13 AM

Nice to continue this theoretical discussion.

True, actually that Paigham song is not one of my great favorites. All the other three, Kajal, Phool Bane Angare, and Reshmi Rumaal, are my favorite songs, but with a difference again. The Kajal song is all too popular. Hence no fun! The Phool Bane and Reshmi Rumaal songs are realtively rarer and at the same time very nice songs. Hence, all the more thrilling to catch them!

Again, my own weird musings!

Venkat

PS. Yet again, we cannot generalize on preludes and interludes. Some interludes are easier than preludes too!

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 09:33 AM

Venkat..this discussion is much more enjoyable than anything around.

Okay, here is one more..just to check up...a PRELuDe this time...a fine piano piece..Will be waiting for your reaction..

QUIZ No 5



http://www.mediafire.com/?h92tmrbvjhu

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 09:38 AM

Is it an SJ song?

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 10:03 AM

Yesss...

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 10:04 AM

Is it a Lata song? This time, am I wrong?

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 10:06 AM

No...

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 21 2008, 10:18 AM

Goog going Simpleji...I couldn't understand the 5th quiz clue1.. It seems a familiar tune to me...But at present I cannot recognize that..

Subir

Posted by: pinky Jun 21 2008, 10:45 AM

I got it venkat..Manzil wohi hai pyar ki raahi badal gayi, singer :-Subir sen and the film:- Katputli..i have
the song with me

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 10:47 AM

Now, am not match here..right ?

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 10:50 AM

Could not get it, SF.

But, once again a few suggestions, as you are willing to listen!

Wherther prelude or interlude, you should u/l the entire (100%) bit leading all the way upto the vocals of the singer. What I mean is that you should not cut short that prelude or interlude or whatever. The reason is that a musical bit will reach the song's scale only at its very end. If it is stopped short (even by 4 or 5 seconds), it will give a wrong signal.

Hope I could communicate.

Venkat

PS. Incidentally, in the Quiz 5 bit that you u/led, it is not that piano or piano-like instru. that throws the light, but it is the accordion that comes in the second 21 seconds. It is that accordion part that has an unmistakeable SJ stamp.

Actually, it sounded very much like the music of "Bol Ri Kat Putli Dole Kaun Sang" song from Kat Putli by Lata.

Venkat

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 10:53 AM

Great work, Pinky. Saw your post after my last post above.

Well, I could catch the Film right!

Venkat

BTW, I do not have this song.

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 21 2008, 11:32 AM

You r absolutely right Venkatji...Because at the end of the prelude we must get the scale of tune which helps us to recognize the starting tune and all...The clip ended suddenly...so it is very difficult for me at least..

Subir

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 12:33 PM

Subir Ji,

I am sure you make a very good Quiz Master, in addition to a replier. So, please keep asking questions by u/ling more preludes/interludes

Same goes for Pinky too.

I do not have presently the cutter software. Otherwise, I would have plunged in too.

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 01:34 PM

Sorry, power went out and hence couldnt write any remarks...actually i gave a music bit of 42 seconds...and the voice / vocal starts at 45 seconds..
Fact is that unless you love the song...and already heard for a number of times, we just cant guess the right answer...my idea.
But as Venkat said...may be time for someone else to post the songs..?


here is the song from Kathputli posted on mediafire..as the bit rate is very low..


http://www.mediafire.com/?jkcyx19wj9x


Here is one more example of what I am saying...i give this link for a SiX second prelude..out of 21 seconds..and am sure that you will jump to an answer with in seconds..
What i normally do is play the bit on media player or some other software in repeat mode..so the bit keeps on playing in cycle..and Voila..the idea might hit you ... Try it.


http://www.mediafire.com/?wbzggwcttbz

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 21 2008, 03:08 PM

I think the answer of the Quiz 5 is "Maine Chand Aur Sitaron Ki Tamanna" by Rafi sahab....Am I right Simpleji??




Quiz No. 6

A beautiful melodious song....and a light classical too..


http://www.mediafire.com/?lxr0nibwfjc

Subir

P.S.: Venkat ji...I think you can download the MP3 cutter and joiner software from the following link and you can participate as a quiz master...

http://rapidshare.com/files/115916472/2008_New_Cracked_MP3_Cutter_Joiner_v2_20.rar

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 03:29 PM

Subir Ji,

Answer to Quiz No. 6 (Actually, this should be 7 and the Maine Chand Aur Sitaaron should be 6! Questioners, be correct in No.s!):

I shall give the answer in code language! The Film's name starts with S. The Leading Actor's name starts with R and that of the Leading Actress with V. The MD's name with S! It is the interlude music. It is a duet of a pair which sang the highest no. of duets together!

What do you say, Subir Ji?

Venkat

PS. Thanks, Subir Ji, for the cutter stuff. I will try it now.

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 21 2008, 03:36 PM

Excellent hint...

Lets see...... How many can recognize this clip..

Subir

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 03:44 PM

Sf, rule violation! You have not given the Quiz No. to this Main Ne Chand Aur Sitaaron song. It should be Quiz No. 6 and the next one by Subir Ji is Quiz No. 7.

SF, I, as Subir Ji, still maintain that the entire prelude or interlude needs to be there. It doesn't matter in easy exceptions. But, in relatively tougher cases, you need to use your musical instinct in replying. There, the completeness of the bit helps!

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 04:00 PM

Subir Ji and SF,

I am bringing this post forward so that the Quiz Question given above by Subir Ji catches the attention and is not lost in the maze of our discussions!

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 04:26 PM

Now..let me clarify..Maine chand aur sitaron ki..is an example..and not a quiz.. which i said so. Just wanted to show you that even one second of music can sometimes make us recognize those beauties..
That clarified...coming to Subir's quiz No. 6...Am in the woods..
Even as i have the clues of Venkat..am lost !
gimme another fifteen minutes...
A duet of Rafi, Lata......

Thank you all for giving the answers and for sharing your thoughts....:

This light classical song from the film Suraj is very melodious and my favourite too..

Quiz No. 8

A nice piece of Piano..

It is one of my fav songs... A beautiful song....with mesmorising tune.

Subir

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 05:13 PM

SF, The highest no. of duets are between Rafi Saab and Asha (A whopping 900+) whereas Rafi Saab-Lata duets are less than 500! Surprising?

"Agar Sun Le Tu Ek Nagamaa"

Venkat

PS. Subir Ji, I have identified this song immediately on hearing, but I was confused by some hints that you gave on top. "Picture", "Starting with B", Velvety voice, etc.!

Later, I realised that you gave those hints for the Quiz no. 7 by SF.

For absolute clarity, please use the 'quote' button to quote the quiz and then give reply below. Thanks.

Venkat

Yes Venkatji....I wonder about ur catching power...

Song is really a beautiful from Ek Raaz...isn't it..??

Subir

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 06:06 PM

Subir Ji,

It is a pleasure to keep company with people like you with great musical ear. Well, in all humility, I can say that God has given me too a good musical ear!

No doubt, that KK song is a great one. In fact, Chitragupta has a few such superb solos, mostly, of course, with Rafi Saab.

Venkat

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 06:17 PM

Pinky,

Many times, your reference to Venkat is getting confusing. So, shall we call SF just SF or Venkat2!

This is the prelude (opening music) of an all-time great duet. I rate this prelude music as one of the best 5 preludes in HFM of all times.

Don't you think that musical bit is simply out-of-this-world?

Venkat

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 21 2008, 10:04 PM

How can we forget the Accordion part?????

It is the only signature of this song..

Subir

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 10:05 PM

Oh...i love this song. Could have told it in a jiffy....
It is one of the best duets ever sung..in my opinion. here is another for you..
will leave some clues too..it is a Rafi song...


QUIZ No. 11

http://www.mediafire.com/?gygwlw9zgy0 this is interlude.

change the file name to quiz 11 . Venkat beat me to it.

Posted by: pinky Jun 21 2008, 10:05 PM

O;k Venkat , i will call him venkat2

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 10:06 PM

Very true. The real give-away is the last 5 seconds or so of Accordion. In fact, some condensed versions of this song start only from there!

Venkat

Posted by: pinky Jun 21 2008, 10:12 PM

venkat2 can you give some more clues?

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 21 2008, 10:14 PM

I could not...

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 10:15 PM

Is it the full/complete interlude, as we discussed?

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 10:15 PM

Okay...Duet with Suman .

hey you can call me V2 ..


Venkat..it is .
One of my most favourite songs..kind of trance song...so peaceful.

Posted by: pinky Jun 21 2008, 10:20 PM

V2 is it Aa hum ahad e wafaa kar de?? Rafi-Suman kalyanpur?

This not right? V2

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 10:25 PM

It is indeed Aa hum ehde wafa karde...from Do Bhai ( 1969 ) . LP composition....least appreciated song i think. i posted it in lesser heard songs of Rafi in my collection thread..

Posted by: pinky Jun 21 2008, 10:25 PM

O:k

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 10:27 PM

Which Film is this? I am not sure I know this song!

Venkat

Well, I do not know this song at all!

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 10:29 PM

Aa hum ehde wafa karde - Do Bhai , 1969 , LP , Rafi, Suman.

As i told before this beautiful gem got lost somewhere in such huge volume of treasures... will upload it for you Venkat.. if you want ..

Posted by: venkat Jun 21 2008, 10:36 PM

SF, normally, I draw a line at 1968/69. From here, frankly, I do not have a liking for HFM, be it Rafi Saab's songs or others' songs!

Strictly a personal view.

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 21 2008, 10:42 PM

Venkat...I totally can understand you. I myself heard it very recently...and got hooked to it. Actually the voice of Rafi sounds so beautiful...I got doubt that it might be from earlier years..Would love to have you listen to it..
here is the song...give it a try...

Not actually so easy,I think i got it, because i have most of those songs

Posted by: simplefable Jun 22 2008, 12:25 AM

i think the key lies in LISTENING...and not just having those beautiful songs. You will make the best DJ out there...

In fact, there are three keys to this!

1. Knowing the song well by having it or even otherwise

2. More important, liking that song very much

2. Most important, a very good musical ear.

For example, out of the 11 clips uploaded so far (other than my own two), I do not have any song with me except "Main Ne Chand Aur Sitaron".

But, I knew/replied 7 out of these 11, because I know and like very much six and I have, know and like very much one.

As for the other four, I do not only not have them, but out of these four, I do not know one and do not much like three, though I know them!

Posted by: simplefable Jun 22 2008, 08:08 AM

Venkat...You, subir and other members are really gifted..that you can identify the MD by their traits..the instruments they favour..etc. Personally my heart / brain recognizes the songs which i like..love ..and listened to.

That you were able to identify those songs which havent heard is just terrific..a different class altogether.

Posted by: venkat Jun 22 2008, 01:52 PM

SF, Subir Ji had uploaded 3 clips (Reshmi Rumal, Suraj, Ek Raaz) and all the three are top-grade musical bits, which can compete with the song itself. Much like your own Kajal, Phool Bane Angaare, Baradari and Chandrakanta ones! The musical bit, to be special, has got to have a character! There are plenty of preludes/interludes otherwise which are life-less and dull-as-dust!

Anupama ji,

As I do not have this song, I ask this question. Is it the same song in which words like, 'Bujhe Koyi Naina Babu" (may not be exact words!) occur?

If it is, I too have caught the song, but was groping for the lyrics! If no, then I am off-track!

Venkat..Heard the songs..couldnt find those lines..

Posted by: venkat Jun 23 2008, 09:17 AM

I too just heard that song from Musicindia, but it is not the one. I have taken it as another fairly popular OPN-Geeta song where such words exist. But, unfortunately, I do not know the starting line of even that.

So, let it pass!

Posted by: simplefable Jun 23 2008, 09:20 AM

Venkat..Anupama posted that the song you mentioned is the one from Mr & Mrs 55. She is phenomenal. as you said.

Posted by: venkat Jun 23 2008, 09:32 AM

Yes, Anu Ji, I mistook it for that one, passing the filters of OPN, Geeta!

Venkat

Posted by: venkat Jun 23 2008, 09:34 AM

SJ-Rafi-Late Sixties? A number of solos of that time sounding very similar!

Is it by any chance "Khuda Bhi Aasmaan Se Jab Zamin Par" or "Jab Mohabbat Jawan Hoti Hai"?

I do not keep these very popular songs, so I cannot verify!

Posted by: simplefable Jun 23 2008, 09:40 AM

Or mid seventies Rafi song?? the instrumentals have become kind of ...synthetic...by that time..i guess.

Posted by: venkat Jun 23 2008, 10:01 AM

To my knowledge, there is no synthetic music in those clips. One is a stringed instrument and the other pure Saxophone!

Posted by: simplefable Jun 23 2008, 10:07 AM

what i meant was..the recording has that quality of digitalization...Oh..it was just a feeling you know.

I am unable to cut the interludes in the cutter. I am able to cut preludes easily.

What is the funda? Please enlighten as to how to use the begin end ok play pause, etc.

Venkat

Posted by: venkat Jun 23 2008, 11:27 AM

Yeah, should be a peppy Lata solo?

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 23 2008, 11:29 AM

No no no.....This is not a Lata number..

I will let you know about the software trick after a while..

Subir

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 23 2008, 12:02 PM

Venkatji...You do the following pls..

1. Open the software and press the "skin" button at the top...

2. Press "Add File" to add the song

3. Press Play button or move the slider to the right to your desired position and press "Begin".

4. Press "End" where you want to end...[you can press the pause button also before pressing the Begin or end button.]

5. Finally press the Split button.

If still there is anything which is not clear to you....pls feel free to ask me..

Subir

Posted by: venkat Jun 23 2008, 01:18 PM

So, while one quiz of Anupama ji and Quiz No. 23 of Subir Ji are pending, I will give one more Quiz No. 24.

Actually, in my humble opinion, the musical bits given in the Quizzes should be bits with an identity of their own and should have been quite ear-catching during their days!

Also, they should be no more than 70% tough, whatever that means! It is easy to give an obscure/rare bit of an obscure/rare song which no one can catch! But, that is not the idea.

Trying to practise what I preached above!


QUIZ NO. 24

Here is a prelude that naturally merges with the song in a seamless fashion!

It is all quite clear, except that it is saying that I have completed 30 conversions and is demanding me to register and buy!

Venkat

Posted by: venkat Jun 23 2008, 01:50 PM

Subir Ji,

In fact, your interlude only is very familiar (more than the prelude!), but is not ringing the bell.

Can you give two more indirect clues at least?

Venkat

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 23 2008, 01:58 PM

In the main software folder you will find one file named "Keygen_AudiotoolsFactory.."

Double click to run and press generate...It will generate the name and the serial.

When the software will ask to register put those number and serial generated by the keygen.

Subir

Now I got it! Janoo Kya Mera Dil Ab Kahan! Ziddi. Right?

Beech Mein, Hamara Nasir Bhai has posted that it is "Pyar Ki Manzil" song (also from Ziddi!). Thus coming the closest to answering.

Thanks, Sir. Registration problem is solved with your kind tip. But, the interlude cutting is behaving very erratically. Preludes, no problem.

Venkat... Grew up with this song... incomparable melody !!

Kashmir Ki kali
OP Nayyar

Here is a vital clue...for Quiz 29...vocals of the lead singer..
I have come to realize that we have our own favourites...Sorry, if i posted an obscure song, i like this song so much..and the prelude has the same tune as of the main song... so i posted that.

Actually, that characteristic (it being the same tune as the vocal Mukhda of the song) is written clearly on its face!

But, the problem is I am not able to recall that familiar-looking tune!

Venkat

Posted by: simplefable Jun 24 2008, 04:30 PM

Here is another song..where the prelude is absolutely Haunting...matching the vocals of course...

I know this unusual-for-naushad kind of prelude.

Posted by: simplefable Jun 24 2008, 05:06 PM

Venkat...Yes, it really shows the versatility of the Genius..

Posted by: venkat Jun 24 2008, 05:48 PM

If you sit in front of Telly, you cannot avoid or escape from these latest Film dialogues!

Posted by: venkat Jun 24 2008, 06:38 PM

I know the answer to this Quiz No. 32 (wrongly typed above as 31).

I will translate that Mukhda. I Was Alone in Life's Journey! This is a beautiful prelude bit, my favorite.

I don't have this song too!

Posted by: simplefable Jun 24 2008, 08:20 PM

Sorry, Venkat. Edited the number bit.
Yes, a memorable prelude indeed...

It is zindgi ke safar mein akele the hum..right?

Posted by: simplefable Jun 24 2008, 10:14 PM

Yes, Pinky..you are right.
Now the answer for song in Quiz No 29 is....


Tum jo mile oh sanam..Pyar muskuragaya...Jhoom uthi Zindagi..Dil ko chain aagaya..
Hamara Watan
Hemant, Asha

Posted by: pinky Jun 24 2008, 10:18 PM

This time I could not touch my gun...Great going Venkatji..

Subir

Posted by: HumTum Jun 25 2008, 10:27 AM

Venkat bhai is right! It is the Gumrah song.. It is odd but I found an uncanny resemblance to the song from Khandan - tumhi mera mandir tumhi mera pooja..

Posted by: venkat Jun 25 2008, 10:30 AM

You bring us to an interesting topic of typicality of MDs' music/songs. That explains it. Kahnadan also is by Ravi isn't it?

Posted by: simplefable Jun 25 2008, 10:32 AM

Wow..that is great going Guys..

gestures do not know the heart (hope I translated that properly)

HT Bhai, I just gave the translation of Quiz 38 mukhda! Did you get it?

Venkat

Posted by: HumTum Jun 25 2008, 11:13 AM

Subir

Posted by: venkat Jun 25 2008, 11:46 AM

This seems to be tough!

Subir Ji, is the MD Madan Mohan?

Anyway, it sounded to me like the interlude of "Yahi Hai Tamanna, Tere Ghar Ke Saamne" by Rafi from Film:Aap Ki Parchhyiyan. But, could be totally wrong! Do not have the song to verify.

Posted by: venkat Jun 25 2008, 12:03 PM

Oh, is it Dil Beqarar Saa Hai, Hum Ko Khumar?

Venkat

Posted by: venkat Jun 25 2008, 12:14 PM

Some hints, Subir Ji. Salaa, Yeh Thread Ek Bimaari Hogaya!

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 25 2008, 12:17 PM

It is a SD Burman composition...and Geeta Dutt duet..

Yeh mera bhi kahena hai...Puraa din iss mein hi phaasa hoon....koi dusra kaam karne nahi de raaha hai.

Khaali paanch min baad baad refresh marne ko man kar raha hai..

Subir

Posted by: simplefable Jun 25 2008, 12:17 PM

Venkat..i thought it was Palkon ki peeche...so went and heard it..it isnot the one. Dil beqarar sa hai...is not the one too.. Sounds like SD Burman??

Posted by: HumTum Jun 25 2008, 12:19 PM

Posted by: venkat Jun 25 2008, 12:22 PM

Subir Ji, the Film translates as BLACK MARKET?

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 25 2008, 12:25 PM

No Venkatji....Ab mukhra suno aur jaldi reply karo...I think it will be now easier to recognize..

This one is beyond me It reminds me more of Hum tumhare liye tum hamare liye! But I know that is not right.

Over to you Venkat ji. Aap to ustad ho is quiz thingy mein.

Posted by: venkat Jun 25 2008, 12:35 PM

Subir Ji, I too raise my hands!

Rafi-Geeta-SDB have just a handful of songs. I don't think it is any one, unless it is from Manzil. But unlikely.

Posted by: sbiswas2005 Jun 25 2008, 12:35 PM

More hints for this......

Geeta Dutt aur Manna Dey sahab duet.....Ek kheti mein...do comedian actor and actress
