2) C. Arjun - Road No. 303 (1963) - Sun lo meherbaan

Thanks Mahesh. Do you have Geeta ji's song (s) from Sheeshe ki deewar (1954) ? This is a news to me that S D Gupta composed music for films and Geeta ji sang for him too..

Thanks
Parag

[parag_sankla]

Any one knows who was supposed the compose the music for the film "Gauri" started by Guru Dutt to launch Geeta ji as the singing star?

Thanks
Parag

Nice thread idea Parag.

Would like to add this movie to the list.

Vinod - Ek Thi Ladki(1949)

There may be others as well. What was MD Jimmy, Madan Mohan, Chitragupt and Avinash Vyas's first movies? They had used Geeta ji's talents extensively as a lead singer. Did she sing in those first movies?

Thanks HB, I am glad you liked the concept.

Aankhen was Madan Mohan's first film as composer. Meena Kapoor sang the famous song "Mori atariya pe kaaga bole" for him in this film (I read somewhere that Lata ji refused to sing for a newcomer composer!). I am not sure if Geeta ji sang any song for this film of Madan Mohan.

Cheers

Thanks mahesh ji for this info which is new to me and the link. I was falsely under the impression that this was his first movie.

If Aankhen was his first movie, then Geeta ji doesn't have any song in that movie. Other than that Meena Kapoor song, Shamshad Begum had five songs. There was no other female singer. Rafi, Mukesh, Raj Khosla and Madan mohan himself were the male singers for the movie. I love a shamshad-mukesh duet from the movie, "Humse Nain Milaana B.A. pass kar ke"!

[hildebrand]

Which were MD Jimmy, Chitragupt and Avinash Vyas's first movies?

Also, was Rangeeli(1952), the first movie of MD Chic Chocolate? (former assistant of C. Ramachandra). If so,
this movie had two songs by Geeta ji:-
1. Humne Yeh Dil Lagaane Ki
2. Raat Bhi Rangeen hai Mausam Bhi Rangeen hai

I am looking for this second song. if someone has it do please upload it.
