(Shailendra) Jawani ki Hawa (1959)

This was a below average effort from the usually reliable music director Ravi Saab. Yet there is one good song in the film. The title song “Chali Kaisi” sung by Asha is very racy and quite hummable. Here is this and other songs from this album…

(Shakeel) Wahan Ke Log (1967)

N.A. Ansari besides acting in this film also produced and directed it. This was one of many “B-grade” films he made. Ramchandra, who was on the decline of his career, provided music for this film. There are only few songs in the film but some are good. These include “Aawaaz”, “Hum Tujh Se”, and “Tum Kitni”. Especially Mukesh’s song “Hum Tujh Se”, which had the similar beginning of his 1951 hit song from Raj Kapoor’s “Awara”, is a fine one. The song “Aawaaz” appears five times, with the first line repeated most of the times. I am uploading two parts of it here even though the second part is included in the first. The difference is that the second part I am uploading here is preceded by additional music.

Here are these and the rest of the songs from this film…

(Majrooh) Mere Sanam (1965)

Here is a movie that instead of the huge miscast of Biswajeet as a hero and a terrible turn of Asha Parekh became a huge box-office hut. The story began by borrowing from the 1961 English comedy hit “Come September” but slipped into a hodgepodge of usual family and crime drama with many twists in between. The major reason the movie was a blockbuster was because of the phenomenal musical score by OP. Another reason was that in a brief role Mumtaz ignites the screen with her enticing presence.

Biswajeet in the lead desperately tried to ape Shammi. However hard he tried, he did not even come close to what Shammi could have done in the role. He was simply miserable to watch. Usually reliable Asha Parekh as the leading lady of the film did a sloppy job with her performance. Especially she butchered the beautiful song “Jaaiye” with very forgettable performance by twirling and twisting her body too many times. But it was a different story with Mumtaz. She appeared in the middle of the film but gave an endearing performance as a voluptuous vixen. Her unforgettable performance for the song “Yeh Hai Reshmi” was deliciously sweet and seductively sexy that stays with you for a long time.

It was OP’s inspired music that lifted the film from mediocrity to modestly watchable. Song after song, the movie delivered some unforgettable hits. This album was undoubtedly one of his best ones. He was ably assisted by G.S. Kohli and Sebastian.

I am uploading all the songs, specials, version songs, and some instrumentals in five back-to-back posts. The first two posts contain all of the songs from the film. The third post contains some specials and a few version songs. The fourth and the fifth posts contain several instrumentals of some of the songs from the film.

(Rajinder Krishan) Gateway of India (1957)

This comedy-cum-crime drama with many actors in it never took off properly even from the gate and falls flat as a comedy as well as a crime caper. Madhubala was in almost every frame of the movie and the rest of the crew come in and go around her at various times. The only redeeming feature of the film was some of its songs composed by Madan Mohanji. Song of the album is “Sapnon Mein”. Also, the songs “Na Hanso” and “Do Ghadi” are equally appealing.

Here are these and other songs from this film…
