Thanks for the clarifications Aditya and Exon. So now we know that M L Khanna (lyricist and Usha Khanna's father) did compose music for the film Passing Show (1956).

Now the question arises whether Manohar (who composed music for the film Dr Z) and M L Khanna (lyricist and Usha Khanna's father) are the same person or not?

Gets more confusing. See this site for listing of Gramophone Company of India records.

This says that the "artiste" or MD for passing Show is Manohar, which is the same as Doctor Z, Chingari etc. I think HFGK also credits it to Manohar. Exon's source say Manohar Lal Khanna. Now, the question still remains - is Manohar, the MD, same as M L Khanna?

I would now say they are different people, because I find it strange that not even a single song in all the films composed by "Manohar" is written by M L Khanna who was essentially a lyricist.

How I wish someone here knew Usha Khanna and could simply pick up the phone and ask her

Aditya,

I got the info from UPenn's hindi cinema listing. These days, I don't see that site. Most likely, the UPenn site also had the MD name for Passing Show as 'Manohar'.
When I find any correction or addition in HF archive, I have updated info with me. Passing Show's MD name could be one of those updated information.

Thanks Aditya and HB for this rare information.

Here is the updated list of songs Geeta ji has sung with C Ramchandra ji as co-singer (who is also the MD for all the songs except the one from the film Naadan) :

Shehnai (1947) - Chadhati jawani mein jhoolo meri raani - Geeta Dutt, Binapani Mukherjee, Chitalkar
Shehnai (1947) - Jawani ki rel chali jaayi re - Geeta Dutt, Lata Mangeshkar, Chitalkar
Bach ke rehna (1947) - Ajee pyar se moonh naa modnaa - Geeta Dutt, Chitalkar
Bach ke rehna (1947) - Tujhse nazar milte hee - Geeta Dutt, Chitalkar
Khidaki (1948) - Tere Binaa Soonaa Soona Man Kaa Meraa - Lata , Chitalkar, Geeta Dutt
Roshni (1949) - Pehan chunariya kaali- Geeta Dutt, Chitalkar
Shabistan (1951) - Ham hain tere deewaane - Geeta Dutt, Talat Mehmood, Chitalkar
Nadaan (1951) - Dilon Ke Mele Ka Naam Picnic, Nazar Ke Khelon Ka Naam - Geeta Dutt, Chitalkar (MD : Chik Chocolate)
Saqi (1952) - Oh haseena sambhal sambhal kar chal- Geeta Dutt, Chitalkar

Requesting help in completing this list in case any song(s) have been missed in the above list.

Also kind request for the rare song from the film Nadaan (1951).

Thanks in advance

Best Regards
Parag

Are there any other songs of Geeta ji sung with C Ramchandra (Chitalkar) ?

Thanks
Parag

The songs credited to Lallu Bhai Nayak on earth music are not from the 1956 Passing Show. Maybe there was a film with the same name in 30s & 40s (that's when Lallubhai Nayak and Pt. Anuj were active as MD and lyricist respectively).

It is likely that MD "Manohar" and Usha Khanna's father ML Khanna (who was primarily a lyricist) are the same person.

Request HB or any other HFGK owner to confirm who the composer for the 1956 Passing Show was.

Aditya

Composer is Manohar. I believe he is different from M.L. Khanna (the lyricist not the writer of a book i loved in school ). I had a discussion with a record collector some months ago and he mentioned the MD getting a few films only.

Yes, I reached the same conclusion in Post 92 above

One more singer (though not a famous name) has sung a few songs with Geeta ji. His name is Badrinath Vyas (not sure if he is related to the composer Avinash Vyas ji). Based on the information known so far, he has sung at least 3 duets with Geeta ji all under the baton of composer Avinash Vyas ji.

The 3 songs are as follows:

1950 Har Har Mahadev : Bhole nath se nirala gorinath se nirala
1950 Har Har Mahadev : Shiv stuti
1951 Dusavtaar : Bajao raam naam ki tali

Song number 1 is posted here:

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?s=&a...st&p=647217

The song's video is here:

Any information about him will be most appreciated.

Many thanks Mahesh. Can not thank you enough for maintaining and keeping these lists updated. We wish that more and more music lovers appreciate the wide range of songs sung by our beloved Geeta ji with so many singers of the golden era of HFM.

Please check if you can find more songs of Geeta ji with Badrinath Vyas ji. I had found 3 which I mentioned in an earlier post.
