Jaali Note, Most of the album uploaded here Options

[sangeetbhakt]

Film: Jaali note (1960)
*ring: Dev Anand, Madhubala, Om Prakash, Helen, Madan Puri
Music: O P Nayyar
Lyrics: Anjaan, Raja Mehndi Ali Khan

This is a fantastic soundtrack by OPN. Every song is in his typical
inimitable style and the singing by both Asha and Rafi is par excellence.
I picked up this video cassette on a whim several years back and
got lucky in getting a good copy. All the songs have gone from video
tape to cassette (long before I ever had access to a CD recorder) and
now to CD. So the quality is a bit suspect.
2 songs were missing from the film, one being the Asha/Shamshad duet
that has been talked about in other forums, and the other is an Asha/Rafi
duet ("NigaahoN ne pheNka hai"). I found the latter on the web a few
years back and downloaded it. So I am uploading all the songs except
the Asha/Shamshad duet.

Finally, a request. THere is an alternate version of the song "Chaand zard
zard hai". That version begins with the lyrics "Raat sard sard hai, chaand
zard zard hai". I am looking for that version. I will repeat the request when
I upload the song as well.
So here goes.

Track 1:
Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi - Gustaakh nazar chehre se haTa

[sangeetbhakt]

Track 2:
Mohammad Rafi - Choori ban kaaNTa ban o my son

Talk about stupid lyrics and this song is way up there in my opinion.
But the tune and the singing are the only things that allow you to
forget the words and enjoy the song.

Track 3:
Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi - O mister dil baDi mushkil me

[sangeetbhakt]

Track 4:
Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi - Dil hai aapka huzoor

[sangeetbhakt]

Track 5:
Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi - Sach kehta hooN bahu haseeN ho

I don't know if this is my favorite song in this film or if it is the next one.
But this ranks way up there in terms of the Asha/Rafi/OPN combo.

Track 6:
Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi - Chaand zard zard hai

This is the song I was talking about. The version in the film has the
line "Chaand zard zard hai" repeated twice in the mukhDa. However,
the other version has the mukhDa beginning with "Raat sard sard hai,
chaand zard zard hai". Not sure if the censors decided that the words
had to change or if they were modified for some other reason.
I am looking for the other version.

It is apparent that the "Raat sard sard hai" was recorded first because
at one point in the film version, Asha makes a mistake and corrects
herself. So it sounds like "Raand zard zard hai".

Track 7:
Asha Bhonsle, Mohammad Rafi - NigaahoN ne pheNka hai

Both Asha and Rafi seem to be having so much fun singing this
song. I can almost hear both of them smile through the mukhDa.

Thanks a ton SB for these songs--am having a great time listening to them. Each song is familiar including the Rafi solo which means I must have possessed this album as a kid. Anyway they are so light and enjoyable. Made my day!!!
