Saat Saath
Musings & Amusings

With threads on the "Muse & Music", "Three Reigning Queens", and "One of a Kind" in steady progress, I thought I will divert my attention to some other actors of the last half of the last century whose work has resulted in some great music. I received feelers from several members to start something like this, even though not at this scale. With these thoughts in mind, I have selected to look into the works of seven actors. These are:

Amitabh Bachchan
Dharmendra
Jeetendra
Manoj Kumar
Raaj Kumar
Rajendra Kumar
Sunil Dutt

Between them they made nealy 1200 movies. Starting today, I will post albums from their movies, probably one for each day. I happen to have CDs of most of this work, but may need occasional help. The Forum members have been gracefully great in cooperating. Thank you for all your suport. I am hoping I will continue to get similar support for this thread as well.

Now let us look at the individual filmographies of these actors ...

Amitabh Bachchan - "The Angry Young Man"

Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most significant personalities of the Indian cinema. He was very popular during 70’s and 80’s and later successfully revived his career starting in 2000. He proved to be one of the most resilient individuals.

During the height of his popularity he almost died in a freak accident performing his own stunt for a movie. After recovering, he saw his fortunes decline. He started his own production company and saw his wealth vanish on some foolish endeavors. Then suddenly, like phoenix rising from ashes, in 2000, he was back with a bang. He made waves on TV as a host of a popular game show. He started acting his age in several notable and successful movies. At one point, it appeared that in early 2000’s he was in almost every movie that was coming out of Mumbai.

Introduced by the great K.A. Abbas in the movie “Saat Hindustani” in 1969, initially he struggled to get a foothold in the industry. His fortunes changed with “Zanjeer” in which he portrayed the role of an angry young man. This established his persona and many hugely successful movies came with this trait of the actor at its core.

He won several awards during an illustrious career that includes three National awards and 12 Filmfare awards. He was elected as the star of the millennium by a British magazine that was open to all professional stars of not only present days but bygone days as well.

Amitabh entered briefly into politics. After winning an important election, he resigned from the job. He acted in over 200 movies in a career spanning 40 years. Here is his part 1 of his filmography …

Dharmendra - "The He Man"

Dharmendra entered into movies via a talent contest. His rugged looks and easy going nature made him one of very likeable stars in the film industry. Noted more for good looks than histrionics, once established as an actor he was in very much demand until very late in his career. But it wasn’t without struggle in his early and formative years. He made his acting debut with the film “Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere” in 1960. But, it was Bimalda’s “Bandini (1963)” that brought him recognition as an actor. After that he never looked back.

He entered politics and won a parliamentary seat. He is on record for not attending a single session.

Dharmendra never won any awards for movies he was in. He acted in over 250 movies in a career spanning 47 years. Here is his first part of the filmography …

Jeetendra – The “Jumping Jack”

Jeetendra, nicknamed as “Jumping Jack” for his dancing skills came into movies almost by accident. His family was in the business that dealt with imitation jewelry. While delivering some of the jewelry to the venerable Shantaram, who was making “Navrang (1959)” at that time, he was offered to act as a double for the leading lady of that movie, Sandhya. That he did. It eventually led to his debut as a hero in Shantaram’s “Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne” in 1964.

It was “Farz” in 1967, an imitation of a James Bond movie, that gave him an opportunity to do dancing for some of the songs. The movie was a huge hit and he became a favorite with producers from South in which he played almost the same role over and over again. Surprisingly, most of these movies were huge hits.

Jeetendra never won any awards for the films he was in. He acted in over 200 movies in a career spanning 45 years. Here is part 1 of his filmography …

Manoj Kumar - "Mr. Bharat"

Manoj was a man of many talents. Besides being an actor, he was a producer, director, editor, story, screenplay, dialogue, and lyric writer. Because he made several movies with patriotic themes and played the role whose name always was “Bharat”, he was nicknamed as “Mr. Bharat”.

While growing up he idolized Dilip Kumar. After graduating from school, he decided to enter into the movie industry. He changed his name to Manoj Kumar after the name of the character Dilip played in the movie “Shabnam” in 1949.

Manoj made his debut in a small role in “Fashion” in 1957. But the movie established him as a bonafied star was “Hariyali Aur Raasta” released in 1962.

Manoj won several Filmfare awards in various categories; Best Picture, Best Director, Best Story, Best Dialogue, and Best Actor. Quite an accomplishment. He has acted in less than 60 movies in a career spanning 40 years. Here is his filmography …

Raaj Kumar - The "Jaani" Man

Raaj Kumar made his debut as an actor in a small role in 1952 in “Rangili”. He appeared in several movies after the debut but mostly went unnoticed. Things changed with Mehboob Khan’s masterpiece “Mother India” released in 1957. He had a major supporting role and his performance was critically praised.

Raaj was famous for dialogue delivery that became his trademark. He played all types of roles that came along his way.

His son Puru, who had several problems with law, tried unsuccessfully to become an actor.

Raaj won Filmfare awards as the Best Supporting Actor a couple of times. He acted in over 70 movies in a career spanning 43 years. Here is his filmography …

Rajendra Kumar - The "Jubilee Hero"

Rajendra Kumar made his debut in a bit role in 1950 in the film “Jogan” which starred Nargis and Dilip Kumar. In the beginning of his career he tried to emulate Dilip, in acting, mannerisms, and dialogue delivery. He even started combing like him. Soon he found his own groove with Mehboob Khan’s “Mother India”, released in 1957. But it was “Goonj Uthi Shehnai” made in 1959 that established him as a star in his own right.

In 60’s and early 70’s his star had a meteoric rise. Almost every film he made was a jubilee hit. Apparently at one point, he had seven jubilee films, all running at the same time. This earned him the nickname “Jubilee Hero”.

Like many other stars, his star status declined by mid 1970’s. Then he was back in form at the end of 70’s by playing more mature roles starting with “Saajan Bina Suhaagan (1978)”.

Rajendra produced and directed few movies. He tried to launch his son Kumar Gaurav as an actor but wasn’t successful.

Rajendra never won any wards for the movies he was in though was nominated a few times. He acted in nearly 100 movies in a career spanning 48 years. Here is his filmography …

Sunil Dutt - The "Gentleman Actor"

Sunil Dutt was a successful radio announcer for Radio Ceylon Hindi programs. He made his film debut in 1955 with “Railway Platform”. Couple of years later, he had a major breakthrough as an actor with Mehboob Khan’s “Mother India” which proved to be a fertile ground for many aspiring actors. The very next year he married Nargis, who played his mother in “Mother India”.

Sunil was a close friend of writer Agha Jani Kashmiri, who was instrumental in bringing Nargis to the movies. They collaborated in many movies together.

He made history by producing and directing a one-actor movie called “Yaadein” in 1964. He produced many movies and directed a few. His son Sanjay is also a popular actor.

When his wife Nargis passed away, he set up an organization called “Nargis Dutt Foundation” that helps raise money for cancer research.

He was elected to congress many times and served as a cabinet minister.

Sunil won the Filmfare award as the Best Actor a couple of times in his career. He acted in over 100 movies in a career spanning nearly 50 years. Here is his part 1 of the filmography …

(Jeetendra) Geet Gaaya Pattharon Ne (1964)

Jeetendra made his debut with this Shantaram's musical. It has several beautiful numbers and one wonders why Ramlal gave music to only few Hindi films, that too only for Shantaram. I'm not sure how popular he was in Marathi movies.

By the way this story was a clever adaptation of a sculptor named "Jakkanna". Earlier this was made in Telugu as "Amara Shilpi Jakkanna". I will upload these songs later in this section.

(Amitabh) Bombay Talkie (1970)

Apparently Amitabh had a brief role in this movie where he is seen in a funeral procession. It is Usha Uthup's hip singing that gives a lift to the songs with able assists from Asha, Rafi, and Kishore where Shankar & Jaikishan provide the music.

Both instrumentals I am uploading are interesting. The title music starts with a song in the background you can hear briefly and then it drowns in the razzle dazzle of Mumbai street noise. The other instrumental is a beautiful piece that is based on Uthup's "Good Times" song. The instrumental music is nearly 30 seconds longer in duration compared to the actual song but is real pleasing to listen to.

After appearing in a bit role in Shantaram's "Stree (1961)" and later in a supporting role in "Sehra (1963)", finally Mumtaz made the richly deserving grade to be Shantaram's leading lady in this film. This was also Jeetendra's second movie with Shantaram. Interestingly, music director Satish Bhatia makes use of Suman Kalyanpur in three solos and a duet. I don't know when Suman sang this many songs in an important movie. The album also has one of my favorite solos of Mukesh, "Hari Hari Vasundhara". Great lyrics. Beautiful composition.

(Sunil) Kundan (1955)

Sohrab Modi, who made a name for himself by making movies based on history in a grand scale, made this movie based on a social theme. The story was lifted from the great French novelist Victor Huogo's 1862 book "Les Miserables". This novel is considered to be one of the greatest classics of this world. Its English translation is a tome consisting of over 1200 pages subdivided into five small volumes with over 360 chapters. It dealt with religion, politics, and society in general. It revolves around a ex-convict who becomes reformed but can't escape his past. It was made into a movie in several languages. In English itself it was made at least three times I know of. A musical based on it has been a Broadway smash breaking several records during its run.

This movie was made in Telugu five years earlier than Modi by Nagayya. "Beedala Paatlu" starred Nagayya himself. I have three songs from this movie whose quality isn't that great. I will not be uploading them.

The music for "Kundan" was provided by Ghulam Mohammad. It has several beautiful songs. Most of these songs are by the courtesy of the Forum members. Thank you.

Here is a heart rendering touching story only Hrishida seems like capable of making. Rajesh in the title role is very endearing. The ease with which he goes through his role, even when he was aware of the eventual fate of his life, makes it one of his best performances as an actor. Amitabh in support gives a greatly subdued and understated performance complementing Rajesh's bursting enthusiam for life and love.

Here is a classic album from Khayyam Saab. Rafi Saab has a riveting song in "Jaane Kya Dhoondti". A heart rendering song sung with such melancholic voice that it moves you to tears. The song is further enriched by some of the great lyrics ever written by Kaifi Azmi Saab. Also, the album has that classic duet "Pyaar Ka Bandhan". It appears that, per EarthMusic, I am missing a couple of songs shown in red italics in the table below. If this is the case, and if you have them, pleas kindly share. Thanks.

Now for these great songs ...

(Jeetendra) Farz (1967)

Here is a movie that made Jetendra a star. It was a concoction of several early James Bond movies that was earlier made into a hit Telugu movie, also made in 1967 and was called "Goodhachaari 116". It made actor Krishna a star. I will try to upload the songs of the Telugu film later in this section.

Now for the songs from the Hindi version ...

(Manoj) Sahara (1958)

Here is one of the first weepers that Meena Kumari has acted in. For the role she played, there was no end to her sorrows, no end to the tyrannies of cruel people surrounding her, and no salvation for her soul. For her commendable performance she was nominated as a Best Actress.

Take any film composed by Hemantda. You'll find that he seldom disappoints you. This album is also no exception. There are several good numbers here with an overdose of Lata. Apart from his regulars, Hemantda also utilizes talents of some others who sang in only few films. Aarti Mukherjee, she is not the daughter of Hemantda (see Parag's note below), sang two songs with Lata, lending her voice in both of them for Daisy Irani in the movie. Then there is someone named Bela Mukherjee. I am not sure whether she is related to Hemantda or not. (Per r&d she is the wife of Hemantda. See the note below.) Then another unfamiliar name, Pratima Banerjee, singing more like Asha Bhosle.

Here are the songs ...

Dear SP

Just a few corrections to your above post. Aarti Mukherjee does not seem to be related to Hemantda (AFAIK). His daughter's name is Rano Mukherjee who sang a few songs for him ("Naani teri morni ko mor le gaye") and other composers like Vasant Desai ("Uttar mein hain khada Himaalay" with Manna Dey ji, Lata ji and Geeta ji for the film Pyaar Ki Pyaas). I too am not sure if Bela Mukherjee is related to Hemantda or not.

(Raaj) Ghamand (1955)

There were so many good music directors came and gone during 40's and 50's who provided a glimpse of their skills, but alas in only a few movies. Take for example, the music director for this movie, Gulshan Shafi. I was so intrigued in finding more details about him after listening to the three songs I have from this album. But I couldn't find anything to write home about. (He provided music for "Rangila Jawan" in 1940.) Apart from the three songs I am uploading here, it appears like I am missing seven songs.

while Gulshan safi did his work in the 40s.

(Amitabh) Guddi (1971)

Amitabh made a guest appearance in this movie in which his future wife, Jaya Bhaduri, made her first adult acting debut. In 1963 she appeared as a child artiste in Satyajit Ray's story about Calcutta, "Mahanagar". She has to wait for another eight years to grow up before she got an opportunity to play a lead role in Hrishida's "Guddi". But its not Jaya who stole the show. It was the singing of a new plaback singer named Vani Jairam that was the talk of the town.

Vani, a classical Carnatic singer by training, was giving a public performance when she was spotted by Vasant Desai, the music director. He was about to compose music for "Guddi" and signed Vani immediately to sing all three songs for the movie. Vani became an overnight sensation and a celebrity with these songs, especially for that unforgettable song "Bol Re Papeehara". The song was based on a Hindustani raga, Miyan Malahar, and Vani's classical training background immensely helped in singing the song. It is one of those songs that seem to stay with you forever.

Jairam was recognized for her great singing with several awards. She received The Lions International Best Promising Singer Award, The All India Cine Goers Association Award, The All India Film-goers Association Award, and the Tansen Sammaan Award. In the years to come she won even more accolades; among them three times The Best Singer National Award.

Here are the three sweet and melodious songs from the pleasing voice of Vani ...

(Raaj) Mother India (1957)

Mother India (1957) when released was a blockbuster. It broke all boxoffice records and remained a champion for the next three years until "Mughal-E-Azam" was released in 1960. This movie is one of the monumental achievements in Indian film history. Even though Mehboob was the architect of this masterpiece, the person who made it amazingly real with an unmatched and absolutely brilliant perfromance was the great actress Nargis. It is one of those gut wrenching performances that it will be remembered for ages to come. This was even more significant if one considers that Nargis hitherto portrayed mostly urban and sophisticated lady roles (Mehboob's "Andaz (1950)" is an example). It was a stroke of genius by Mehboob Saab that he saw what Nargisji can do. He should know. It was Mehboobji who introduced Nargis in his movie "Taqdeer" in 1943.

This movie was a remake of Mehboob's earlier movie "Aurat (1940)". That starred Sardar Akhtar in the mother's role. Surendra (Rajendra's role) and Yaqoob (Sunil Dutt's role) played sons. Arun (father of actor Govinda) played Raaj Kumar's role. Kanhaiyalal played the same role in both of the movies. It has some magnificent music by Anil Biswas. Many critics are of the opinion that this original version with its rustic backdrop was much more engrossing than Mehboob Khan's later version.

This movie made stars out of Sunil Dutt, Rajendra Kumar, and Raaj Kumar. That is quite an impressive list. It won all kinds of laurels for Nargisji and awards too. She won the best actress award for her performance at the Karlovy Vary film festival. The movie fetched Filmfare awards for Best Picture (Mehboob Khan), Best Director (Mehboob Khan), Best Actress (Nargis), Best Cinematography (Fareddon Irani), and Best Sound (R. Kaushik). It also has the distinction of being selected as the first Indian movie for Oscars in the Best Foreign film category. It lost by one vote to that famous Italian film by Fredrico Fellini "Nights of Cabiria" on the third count. Not for another 31 years, another Indian film will be nominated for Oscars. That movie was "Salaam Bombay (1988)".

Mehboobji was described by many as Cecille B. DeMille (the maker of "The Ten Commandments") of India. In fact, after watching "Mother India" DeMille contacted Mehboobji to congratulate him for the magnificent job he did.

Nargis broke away with Raj Kapoor during the shooting of this movie. Sunil Dutt, who plays her son in the movie, rescued her from the burning fire when the climax was being shot. In the process Dutt himself suffered several burns but Nargis was safe. This bravura work was enough to tilt her heart towards Dutt. They got romantically involved after that incident and within a year got married. Incidentally, Mehboobji considered to offer the role Sunil Dutt played to the Hollywood actor Sabu. However it didn't pan out and the role eventually went to Dutt.

Also, interestingly, it is Nargis and Sunil Dutt's daughter who got married to Rajendra Kumar's son, actor Kumar Gaurav.

This movie was banned in Turkey because Mehboob's banner has hammer and sickle in it. Because this represents communist and social leanings, Turkey didn't allow the movie to be screened in that country. When this movie was sent for Oscar competition, Mehboobji made sure that his banner's symbol was cut out.

Naushadji's music didn't win any awards but it was a major part of the success enjoyed by the movie. Here Naushadji uses very few and simple instruments but very effectively. Almost all songs are catchy and stayed popular for a long time.

The movie was made in Telugu in 1971 as "Bangaru Talli" and in Tamil in 1978 as "Punya Bhoomi".

(Jeetendra) Mere Huzoor (1968)

Here is one of my favorite albums of Shankar & Jaikishan. It is amazing that this late in their innings this musical duo delivered hit after hit (this one with Shankar only). Rafi Saab has several beautiful solos in this album, three to be exact, and all beautiful. My favorite is "Rukh Se". Mala Sinha, riding in the train when Jeetendra was singing about her, never looked this furiously beautiful. Then Mannada has the great song in "Jhanak Jhanak".

(Amitabh) Reshma Aur Shera (1971)

Sunil Dutt spent considerable amount of his fortunes and endless energy in bringing this Romeo and Juliet type story to the screen. He shot most of the movie in Rajasthan near the great Thar desert. It has stunning photography capturing the desolate nature of the desert that humbles even the mighty.

Apart from the scorching heat of the desert and family feud as the background, the movie has one of the great musical compositions. Jaidev, well trained under Burman da, was absolutely magnificent in scoring several haunting songs that leave an everlasting impression in your heart enclaves. A brilliant and an everlasting contribution.

The movie has several good performances to boast. But if one has to single out, it will be remembered for the stunning performance of Waheeda Rehman. She gave a performance of her career in going through the many stages of womanhood, from an innocent girl to eager lover to defiant daughter to a touchingly tragic heroine.

Yet, for all of its magnificence in scope and scale, the movie was a financial disaster for Dutt as it was totally rejected by the public.

(Dharmendra) Bandini (1963)

As one critic put it, “Bandini” is “…the collective radiance of Bimal Roy’s striking imagery, S.D. Burman’s expressive score, and Nutan’s potent realism …”. The movie is at once symbolic and layered. It reveals the facets of human nature and its unpredictable side. It shows how blacks and whites make gray. It shows the momentary rage of insanity. It demonstrates the resolve for life renewal with full of promise and hope.

Bimal Roy who had Nutan in his previous classic “Sujata (1959)” waited for her to come back from her “retirement” to act in “Bandini”. Nutan took a leave from acting to have a baby and was in no mood to come back to resume her acting career in movies. But Bimalda’s persuasion paid off. And what a glorious come back it was. Nutan gave one of the greatest performances of her life in living in the title role of a woman that has many vibrant shades of a woman that portrayed from strong to suffering, selflessness to sacrificing, seriousness to sobriety, personal to poignancy, despondence to delight, propitation to expiation, redemption to resolve, and prisoner of destiny to freedom of her choosing. She brought a kind of moving restraint and a delicate dignity with such powerful and complelling touch to the role that was neither theatrical nor overdramatic. It was at once subtle and gracefully poetic. Nutan demonstrated why she was one of the great consummate actresses who knew how to be a master of the power of histrionics and how she had complete control over it. This was one of the most understated and silently strong performances of any actresses of our time.

The movie was based on a book by Jarasandha. He was a former jail superintendent and published several stories based on his prison experience.

Bimalda who was famous for making films based less on melodrama and more on situations does this masterfully. Yes, a master raconteur. Bimalda was never overpowering with his narrative and moves through the entire movie in an easy engrossing way. He presented the entire movie from a woman’s point of view. Thus we see Nutan in most of the scenes in the movie. Incidentally, this was the last movie Bimalda directed.

The mood of the stark nature of the prison life was brilliantly captured in glorious black and white photography by the cameraman Kamal Bose. Bimalda, who himself started as a photographer, knew how to get the best from this cameramen. Here Bose responded brilliantly. His camera captured the vacuous stillness of prison life with its rich tonal quality in an unforgettable way.

Gulzar made a debut as a lyricist with the song “Mere Gora Rang Lai Le” in this movie. It is a beautiful romantic song brilliantly sung by Lataji and melodiously composed by Burmanda. (See the special version of the song I am attaching where Gulzar speaks about his debut as a lyricist.) Interestingly, Gulzar, who also was an assistant director to the movie, initially tuned down the offer from Bimalda to write the song because he wanted to be a director. It was Burmanda’s persuasion that made Gulzar to change his mind and write the song. Rest of the songs were all written by great Shailendra. The quality of the songs is increased because of the richness of the poetry.

The music of this movie was another masterful achievement from Burmanda. His last association with Bimalda in “Sujata” produced some of the most melodious songs he ever composed. This time Burmanda was up to his task again. The songs from this movie are rated as some of his best work ever. That itself says a lot because most of Burmanda’s work had his trademark of melody exuding sweetness. The songs of this film remain as sweet and melodious as they were when they became originally available. Every song, especially songs by Lata, Asha, Mukesh, and Burmanda himself speak volumes. Apart from the Lata’s song mentioned earlier there are several that are worth mentioning. There is a haunting song by Mukesh “O Jaane Waale”. Mukesh sang for Burmanda after a long time. He used this opportunity to deliver a great song. There is a song sung touchingly by Asha, minus her verve and vivacity, “Ab Ke Baras” that expresses a longing to go to her parents’ place. Asha also has another beautiful song in “O Panchhi Pyaare” reflecting the solemn solitude of the prison life. The other song by Lata “Jogi Jab Se” is another beautifully sung romantic piece. Then there is that great song by Burmanda himself “O Mere Maanjhi”. Picturized using vastness of water that is dark, deep, still, chilly, and lonely. This song brings the movie to a closure in Burmanda’s rich and distinctive voice. Interestingly, R.D. Burman was the assistant music director for this movie.

Apart from Nutan, the movie also starred Ashok Kumar and Dharmendra. Both male roles were comparatively minor. Dadamoni walks through his role with professional aplomb. But this is the movie in which the up and coming Dharmendra got noticed. Under Bimalda’s great direction, Dharmendra gives a restrained and dignified performance. Not until Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s “Anupama (1966)”, Dharmendra’s this talent was ever ably exploited on the screen. Unfortunately, these type of movies in which Dharmendra acted one can only count them on fingers, that too probably on one hand.

The movie won several major awards and rightfully so. It won the National Award for Best Feature Film. It walked away with all major Filmfare awards. These include Best Picture, Best Director for Bimal Roy, Best Actress for Nutan, Best Cinematographer for Kamal Bose, Best Sound for Billimoria, and Best Story for Jarasandha.

(Sunil) Post Box 999

Doing these threads giving me an incredible pleasure in enjoying once again old treasures like this one. This is an early album of Kalyanji Virji Shah, who later formed the team with his brother Anandji Virji Shah as Kalyanji & Anandji, and it is a gem with many beautiful songs. My favorites are three duets, "Bichhde Hue", "Mere Dil Mein", and "O Neend". But standout of the album is the third one I just mentioned, the duet "O Neend Na Mujh Ko Aaye" by Lata and Hemantda. Songs like these are the reason why I love the tilting voice of Hemantda. I wish he sang more songs in his professional career but he was busy making his own movies.

I will post these songs in back-to-back two posts. First post contains all the songs from the original sound track CD album. The second post contains some of the same songs, extended versions of them, ripped from a DVD. Here is the first set of songs ...

(Amitabh) Bansi Birju (1972)

Indian classical music boasts several great personalities who made a lasting impression among the music lovers, and still continue to make, over last several decades. Pandit Vijay Raghav Rao, also known as (Elchuri) Vijaya Raghava Rao, has been in the forefront of such music for over six decades. Yet it seems like that he may not have gotten his proper due. For (over 30) years he was part of Ravi Shankar’s group. Yet you only hear about Shankar and not much of others. He also collaborated with Allah Rakha in world tours and recorded several albums.

Rao has been a flutist, sitar player, choreographer, composer, innovator of new and experimental styles of music, and poet. He has been showered with honors and accolades all over the world. He is a recipient of several Sangeet Natak Academy awards. He composed music for Mrinal Sen’s Golden Peacock Award winner “Bhuvan Shome (1969)”. He also composed music for the acclaimed painter M.F. Hussain’s “Through the Eyes of the Painter (1966)” that walked away with the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. He assisted Ravi Shankar in composing music for the multiple Oscar-winning “Gandhi (1982)”. He published widely. His books comprise poems and anthologies in his mother tongue Telugu as well as in English.

I am uploading here a composition Rao made with the world renowned tabla maestro late Allah Rakha to give a glimpse of his prowess. This recording was made in 1988.

The songs of “Bansi Birju” for which Rao composed music follow …

There was only one MD and that was Gulshan Soofi who composed music for a number of movies in 1940s and 1950s, including the fabulous, "Misl-e--Khayal Aaye They" from Aina (1944). He also composed the Sindhi song "Sik Mein O Sik Mein" within the multi-lingual song in Teen Batti Char Rasta (1953) and used the same tune in "Saathi O Saathi" in Ghamand, which has been uploaded by you.

(Sunil) Sadhna (1958)

B.R. Chopra made many socially conscious movies in early part of his professional career as a producer and director. This movie "Sadhna" is one of those. It has some great lyrics by Sahir tuned to beautiful songs by N. Dutta. Dutta worked mostly with Sahir throughout his career and Sahir was Chopra brothers' (Bal Raj and Yash Raj) favorite. You can see why if you are hearing these songs for the first time.

Sahir in one of those poignant moments in the movie delivers a stinging message in the song "Aurat Ne Janam Diya Mardon Ko", on the society which ill treats women, sung with lots of passion by Lata. There is a beautiful qawwali in "Aaj Kyon Hum Se Parda Hai". Geeta Dutt appears in one sublimely sweet song in "Tora Manva Kyon Ghabraaye". All in all some rich lyrics, melodious singing, and beautiful musical compositions.

Before we get to the songs, there is one more thing worth mentioning. This movie exploits Vyjayanti Mala's talents to full extent. She shows off her dancing skills effortlessly as the role demanded. If she was enchanting as a temptress in the beginning she also was equally effective as a silent suffering woman midway through the movie. She was stunning to look at throughout the movie.

Mannada didn't sing too many songs for Madan Mohanji. But whenever he did, it was a sure smash. Recall the song from "Dekh Kabira Roya", "Kaun Aaya". Who will ever forget such a classic? The song "Tum Bin Jeevan Kaisa Jeevan" in this album is no exception. An absolutely heart rendering song only Mannada knows how to sing. Here is this and other songs from this fine album ...

Swarapriya,

I'd been looking for this album for quite some time myself! My hard-disk crashed a while ago, and I hadn't backed up my data. I don't even know how many songs I have lost. This message will partially serve as a rider which I may forget to append to every request, hereafter.

Coming to your posts- I've said it before, and I'll say it again- they're excellent! Well organized, beautifully presented; it's almost impossible to come across audios in better quality than the one's you post. A lot of them originate from other forum members, yes, but your own collection is quite formidable. By maintaining and sharing it with the world, you're doing great service to music itself.

Keep up the great work!

Regards,
Saksham.

(Dharmendra) Aap Ki Parchhaiyan (1964)

This is another winner from Madan Mohan Saab. He along with the lyricist Raja Mehdi Ali Khan always gave some unforgettable songs. Their collaboration produced at least 10 great albums that include beauties like "Anpadh", "Mere Saaya", "Woh Kaun Thi?" and host of other films.

This effort by them is great, but in my opinion it doesn't rise to the same heights of other albums I mentioned. But this album has a couple of my favorite songs; Lata's unforgettable "Agar Mujhse Mohabbat Hai" and Rafi Saab's romantic "Main Nigaahen". I am including these and all other songs from the original soundtrack album here. In addition I am also including a version song of "Agar Mujhse" by Anuradha Paudwal. The extended version of the song included here, "Yehi Hai Tamanna", is by the courtesy of the Forum members. Thank you.

(Sunil) Didi (1959)

Music director N. Dutta always insisted that the lyrics for his songs be written by Sahir. The result is that most of the films for which Dutta composed music for had Sahir writing lyrics. Their combination always spelled success. Movies like "Marine Drive", "Milap", and "Sadhna" are some of the examples of their collaborative efforts.

This album is interesting. All songs except one were composed by Dutta Saab. The one song that was not composed by him, "Tum Mujhe Bhool Jaao", was composed by Sudha Malhotra. Dutta was apparently indisposed and at Sahir Saab's suggestion, the composing duties for the song were given to Malhotra. The duet sung by Sudha Malhotra and Mukesh is just awsome. The feelings of love and pain the lyrics Sahir Saab wrote for are brought to life with their wonderful singing. Perhaps Sahir Saab was emoting his own feelings when he wrote this song. If you recall, during this period, Sahir Saab was romantically linked with Sudhaji. The romance never materialized into marriage because of the religoius differences and other reasons. After a failed romance during his college life (with Amrita Kaur) and this experience, Sahir remained a bachelor for the rest of his life.

Most of the songs from this album are due to the Forum members. Thank you. Now for the songs ...

(Dharmendra) Aayee Milan Ki Bela (1964)

When I start writing about the music of 60's, I sometimes feel that I am being repetitious about the way I describe them. But I am not apologetic. There was some great music during this time. Shankar & Jaikishan and Rafi Saab played a major role in it. Most of these movies were runaway hits because people flocked to see them for their glorious and unforgettable music.

This beauty of an album by Shankar & Jaikishan has just one after another melodious song. It boasts some of the great solos of Rafi Saab who brings life to the rich and inspired lyrics of Hasrat Jaipuri, like "Bura Maan Gaye", "Main Pyaar Ka Diwaana", and "Tum Kamsin Ho". The album also has one of my favorite Lata's solo, "Tumko Hamaari Umar Lag Jaaye". This song is something that stays fresh and sways you away because of its rich lyrics and the way Lata delivers it.

In this movie Dharmendra outshines Rajendra Kumar, who was the hero of the film. Dashing, whenever he was present on the screen, Dharam ignited the screen with a fine performance in a negative role.

I am uploading all songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. The first post consists of all songs from the original sound track album. The second post consists of extended versions of some of the songs. Here is the first set of songs ...

(Sunil) Insaan Jaag Utha (1959)

At the risk of being repetitious, let me say that Burmanda does it again with this album. When it comes to melody I think Burmanda is defnitely on top of most music lovers' lists. Take for example the song by Geetaji and Asha, "Jaanu Jaanu Ri". An unforgettable listening experience. What a beautiful song. Very melodious. Just oozes with sweetness. How about that lovely duet by Asha and Rafi Saab, "Chaand Sa Mukhda"? This is one of my favorite duets of this pair. Almost all songs follow the same pattern of sweet melody.

I am also uploading a special version of the song "Jaanu Jaanu Ri" with Asha's introduction. It is taken from the album "Legends: Geeta Dutt - The Voice of Passion (CD 5)". This very same thing I heard Asha talk about in one of her concerts that I attended a few years back.

Shakti Samanta who produced and directed this movie, shot it almost entirely outdoors. The locale was Nagarjuna Sagar, in Andhra Pradesh, where the dam was under construction at that time. The site, atmosphere, and the buzz associated with the work of the dam fitted well with the movie's theme.

Most of these songs are by the courtesy of the Forum members. Thank you. Here is the sweetness ...

(Dharmendra) Ganga Ki Laharen (1964)

This movie starred one of my favorite actresses, Savitri, perhaps the greatest actress Indian movies have ever seen. I didn't see this movie, but I can say a few words about this great artiste (see the picture attached). I realize that one cannot capture what she was about in just a few words. My apologies for that. But here is a brief life story of this wonderful, radiant, and emotive actress of our times, Savitri ...

Savitri was one of the greatest actresses of Telugu cinema, if not our times. If she were a Hindi actress, she would be right up there with Meena Kumari and Nargis. During 50’s and 60’s she was the reigning queen of both Telugu and Tamil films. She had the top billing in most of the movies and her presence generally guaranteed success.

Savitri started as a bit star in Telugu films like “Samsaaram” and “Patala Bhairavi”. When the producers gambled to take her to play Parvati in the classic “Devadasu (1953)” in Telugu opposite Akkineni Nageshwara Rao (ANR), many felt it was simply foolish. But when the film was released she received rave reviews for her performance matching ANR scene for scene and the movie enjoyed unprecedented success. After this there was no turning back for Savitri.

“Devadasu” was also made and released in Tamil with the same pair at the same time and was also a resounding hit. This made Savitri a sought after star in Tamil as well. She continued to act in both languages and had a string of major hits to her credit. She ventured into Hindi movies when S.S. Vasan offered her a supporting role in “Bahut Din Huye” in 1954 with Madhubala in the lead. Subsequently she also appeared in “Sitaron Se Aage (1958)” starring Ashok Kumar, “Ghar Basake Dekho (1963)” with Manoj Kumar, “Ganga Ki Lahren (1964)” with Dharmendra, and “Balram Shri Krishn (1968)” with Prithviraj Kapoor.

Savitri’s crowning achievement as an actress came with the film “Chivaraku Migiledi (1960)”. She received the National Award for Best Actress for her brilliant and memorable acting in that film. This was a remake of the Bengali movie starring Suchitra Sen. It was remade into Hindi with Waheeda as “Khamoshi (1969)”.

She was married to the Tamil actor Gemini Ganeshan, father of the actress Rekha. Ganeshan already had several wives. The less I say about this it is better. Later on Ganeshan left Savitri and her kids for yet another woman. This was too much for her to take. The depression of the separation was devastating for Savitri. Her life took for a sorry turn and in the end when she passed away at the young age of 44 she was broke and helpless and very heartbroken.

How come all these brilliant actors seem to leave us so young with their rich legacy when they very well know that the life has so much to offer?

(Rajendra) Dhool Ka Phool (1959)

Here is another beautiful album from the team of N. Dutta and Sahir. Their combination gave so many sparkling albums that have made a permanent place in our hearts. Remember the songs like Asha's "Inn Ujle Mehlon Ke Tale" in "Bhai Bahen (1959)", Talat Saab's "Ashkon Ne Jo Paaya Hai" from "Chandi Ki Deewar (1964)" and umpteen number of other songs. This album also is way up there.

In this movie B.R. Chopra, the producer and the director, was showing the plight of an unwed mother and complications arising from it for a hapless but determined woman. There are two of my favorite duets in this album by Asha and Mahendra, "Dhadkne Lagi" and "Jhukti Ghata". Great lyrics. Beautiful compositions. Lovely singing. Sahir shows in these two songs what a romantic he can be. Then there are other songs that gives Sahir Saab a chance to issue a commentary on the norms of our society. One such song is by Lata, "Tu Mera Pyaar Ka Phool Hai". The other is Rafi Saab's great solo "Tu Hind Banega Na Musalmaan Banega". I am uploading these and other equally beautiful songs from this album in back-to-back two posts.

Most of the following write-up was posted earlier in my post under the thread "Muse & Music" ...

Here are some of the beautiful compositions from the incomparable Burmanda. Every song from this album is full of melody, as if it is oozing with honeyed sweetness. Singling out one of them is really not doing justice to other songs. Because one never gets tired of these songs even when you listen to them over and over again. They are all that good. Very rich in lyrics. Packed with bundles of emotion. Beautiful experience to listen to these songs as if you can see what is happening in front of your own mind's eye. These songs just cast a spell over you. You are simply charmed.

This film won several Filmfare awards; Best Film, Best Actress for Nutan; Best Director for Bimal Roy, and Best Story for Subodh Ghosh. Notable omission was Burmanda's music direction. Simply an inexecusable crime.

The movie also won a special award from the Maharashtra Government for its theme dealing with untouchability. It was an official entry from India in the 1960 Cannes Film Festival.

Along with the songs from the original soundtrack album, I am also uploading a special version of Talat's lovely "Jalte Hain Jiske Liye". This has an introduction by the famous bhajan and ghazal singer Anup Jalota. It is from the album "Legends: Talat Mahmood - The Silken Voice (CD 4)".

(Dharmendra) Haqeeqat (1964)

Many people believe that this was one of the great war movies ever made in India. Well, there were not that many war movies made in our country. Such a claim therefore will be a moot point. Chetan Anand, who made this movie based on the Indo-Sinese War of 1962, shows flashes of brilliance. But like with most of his movies he doesn't sustain the consistency that are hallmarks of great directors like Bimal Roy, Mehboob Khan, Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt, and others.

The movie was laudable for its depiction of patriotism. But to me one of the great achievements was its music. Madan Mohanji was simply brilliant. Spearheaded by his staple singers Lata and Rafi Saab, and some of the greatest lyrics ever written for a film by Kaifi Azmi, the songs are just riveting, reverberating with packed emotions and pangs of pathos the war brought on its soldiers and their families. Every song is just a standout. We all know the combination of Lata and Mohan resulted in many gems. But in this movie, apart from their contributions, it is Rafi Saab who grabs your heart and doesn't let you go. When he sings "Ab Tumhaare" one is overwhelmed with love for ones country. Next when he sings "Main Yeh Soch Kar" you can feel the pangs of pain and suffering of leaving loved ones when someone is not sure of returning back alive to see them again. Azmiji, how touching lyrics have you written! Rafi Saab, my head bows to you in utter respect for singing with so much emotion!

I am posting these songs in two back-to-back posts. In the first post, I am uploading all the songs from the original sound track album. In the second post I am posting some specials. Now for that rare treat served with the combination of various singers including Lata and Rafi Saab, Kaifi Azmi Saab and Madan Mohanji ...

While "Haqeeqat" has so many wonderful songs to choose from, the one that I love is "Aayi ab ki saal diwali". An emotional song beautifully composed by Madan Mohan and fantastically sung by Lata. In fact, this is a Lata album for me - the 3 Lata solos are among the best she has sung for MM.

The Anuradha Paudwal versions of the 2 songs in fact highlights Lata's mastery. Technically/musically there is nothing wrong with Anuradha's renditions. But there is a missing emotion - something that Lata weaves into the songs with superb subtlety.

Haqeeqat indeed is one of Madan Mohan's finest. Actually 1964 was a great year for Madan Mohan. he produced such superlatives soundtracks as Haqeeqat, Woh Kaun Thi, Jahan Ara, Ghazal, Sharabi, Suhagan, Pooja Ke Phool, Aap Ki Parchhaiyan... I don't think any other year comes even close. Unfortunately, barring Woh Kaun Thi none of the films were commercial successes, and their music consequently also did not get the success it deserved.

(Rajendra) Goonj Uthi Shehnai (1959)

Here is a real beauty of an album from Vasant Desai. His music has always been distinctive, classically oriented, and above all melodious. This album provides ample examples of such a claim. Almost all songs are just wonderful. Take for example the beauty by Geetaji and Lata, "Ankhiya Bhool Gayi Hai Sona". I love the way Geetaji emphasizes "Sona", "Hona" and stretches the words "Cheer Gayi Cheer Gayi". The song lifts you into some dream worlds where everything is just meldious. Rest of the songs also follow a similar pattern.

I am uploading these songs, all from the original sound track album, in two back-to-back posts.

Now for the first set of songs ...

(Sunil) Duniya Jhukti Hai (1960)

I haven't seen too many albums where Lata didn't sing for Hemantda. This is one of them. Asha has four solos and a duet in tghis film. In one of her concerts I was in attendance, Asha shared with the audience that Hemantda is her favorite singer. When a son was born to her from her first marriage, she told attendees that she named him Hemant.

One of the numbers Asha sings in this album is like a ghazal somoeone like Madan Mohan might have composed for Lata. The song is "Kuchh Iss Tarah". A real beauty by Asha and Hemantda. Also, whenever Geetaji and Hemantda got together, they gave some marvelous songs. The duet here "Gumsum Se Yeh Jahaan" is an excellent example of this.

Here are these and other songs from this album ...

(Amitabh) Piya Ka Ghar (1972)

Here is a little album from LP that has some very sweet songs. It has only four songs, but all of them are so beautiful. It has one of my favorite Kishoreda's solo, "Yeh Jeevan Hai". I love the way Kishoreda sings this song. It seems like as if he is sharing these thoughts with you directly by whispering scecrets of life right in your ear, person to person. A song of powerful emotions expressed with sheer beauty.

I am also including a version song of "Yeh Jeevan Hai" by Lata. This is taken from her album , "Lata's Shraddhanjali-1". She ends the song with a commentary paying tributes to the stars gone by commemorating them on her 50th year as a singer. Interestingly, if you compare this with Kishoreda's song, it becomes evident that it is missing that "extra", that emotion from the song.

Now for the songs from this beautiful album ...

(Dharmendra) Main Bhi Ladki Hoon (1964)

P.B. Sreenivas (see the attached picture) was born into an eminent Telugu family in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. He speaks 10 Indian languages and is fluent in eight of them. He even penned Urdu ghazals. His first movie was “Jatakam” made simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada. But it was in Kannada where he sang most songs for nearly 25 years starting in early 50’s through mid 70’s. His voice suited beautifully for Kannada super star Raj Kumar. During these years he ruled the Kannada field with many hits to his credit. He did manage to sing in Tamil as well as Telugu films but not as frequently as in Kannada. He did sing few Hindi songs as well. The song he sang in this film with Lata, “Main Bhi Ladki Hoon”, was a hit and still has a very special appeal to it.

Most of the songs for this album are by the courtesy of the Forum members. Thank you very much. All are of very good quality except for the song “Yehi To Din Hai”. This song has several skips in it, even though overall listening experience is close to average.

One of Telugu films' greatest character actors, S.V. Ranga Rao, is in this movie. I didn't realize that he acted in any of the Hindi movies.

I am uploading a duet version of the song “Aaye The Huzur”. This one is taken from the “You Tube”. It appears to me that the solo versions of this song by Asha and Rafi Saab were split from this duet. However these two solos add up to 6:16 duration whereas the duet is only of 5:08 duration.

Now for the songs …

(Jeetendra) Jeene Ki Raah (1969)

The great L.V. Prasad made many incredibly successful Hindi films based on South Indian hit movies. This movie, another big hit from his studio, was based on 1953 Telugu hit "Bratuku Teruvu". That film starred Nageshwara Rao and Savitri, the same hit team that gave "Devadasu" earlier that year. After "Jeene Ki Raah" made in 1969 hit the bull's eye, it was remade in Telugu, this time again with Nageshwara Rao but opposite Jayalalita. This was in 1972. The name of that movie was "Bharya Biddalu".

"Jeene Ki Raah" had a fine performance by the beautiful and radiant Tanuja. It also had some fine music to go with it. Most of the songs were very popular. The film fetched LP the Best Music award from Filmfare. The song "Aap Mujhe Achhe Lagne Lage" by Lata also won the Best Female Singer award from Filmfare.

I will upload some songs from both Telugu films after I am done with the Hindi version, right in this same section. Now for the songs of this fine musical album ...

Bratuku Teruvu (1953) - A Telugu Film

THe Hindi hit "Jeene Ki Raah (1969)" was based on this movie. It starred the hit pair of Savitri and Akkineni Nageshara Rao (ANR) whose earlier film released the same year, "Devadasu", was also a roaring success. This movie came on the heels of "Devadasu" and was another thundering success for this pair. I have only two songs I am able to share here. Ghantasala's "Andame Anadam", fresh after his triumph with songs in "Devadasu" was another feather in his singing career. An absolutely beautiful song. Incredibly rich lyrics. Leela's version of the same song is equally good, even though it didn't become as popular.

I am including here a picture of the incomparable Ghantasala with ANR as part of the title in the table below. Now for these two beautiful songs ...

(Sunil) Ek Phool Char Kante (1960)

Sunil Dutt did not make too many comedies. That laugh riot, "Padosan (1968)", was mostly a Kishore-Mahmood movie. This film however was a light comedy. He plays a young man whose centre of attraction is Waheeda (Ek Phool). But in order to marry her, he has to first convince all four of her uncles (Char Kante) that he is the right choice. The only problem here is that they all have different and conflicting requirements on who should be their niece's proper husband.

David Dhawan, who is notorious in making hit movies based on films from other languages, did copy this movie in his 2000 version of "Dulhan Hum Lejayenge" which starred Karishma Kapoor and Salman Khan. Only difference was that Karishma in this movie had only three uncles.

"Ek Phool Char Kante" (EPCK) had some great music by the incomparable Shankar & Jaikishan team. During this period of their professional career anything they turned out was on the mark. Theirs was an energetic team and that seeped through into their songs as rich melodies. This film has one of my alltime favorites of Mukesh in "Matwaali Naar". Mukesh sings his heart out pouring life into Shailendra's rich lyrics making it an endearing and enduring classic. EPCK also has a duet by Lata & Talat that is uncharacteristically for Talat, sung in a very racy style. But that song "Dil Aye Dil" still is very entertaining. There are two rock n roll songs sung in English by Iqbal Singh. They are also delightful.

Because of the number of songs in this album, I am uploading them in back-to-back two posts. Here is the first set ...

Chitragupt and Rajinder Krishan teamed together for many family dramas, most of them made in South. One thing common to these movies was they invariably had many hit songs, like "Bhabhi" in 1957 and "Barkha" in 1959 and others. Here they are together once more. This time the songs are not in par with other movies mentioned, but still are very good. Solos by Lata and Rafi Saab are worth mentioning.

Apart from its beautiful songs, this movie will be remembered for Rafi Saab singing for Kishore. The song is "Ajab Hai Daastaan". A real beauty by Rafi Saab. Wonder what was the reasoning behind this that the music directors decided to have Rafi Saab sing for Kishore. Nothing here to take away from Rafi Saab. He did a superbly fantastic job. It also is one of my favorite songs of Rafi Saab. Kishoreda himself has a beautiful song in "Hum Matwaale Naujawan".

Lata has a couple of beautiful solos in "Dekho Baabu Chhed Ka Maza" and "Tera Teer O Bepeer". These songs have unmistakable Shankar & Jaikishan (S&J) stamp on them. In most of the 50's movies, Lata usually sang one or two songs for S&J that followed similar pattern.

Geetaji didn't get too many oppertunities to sing for S&J. But in this film, she has two duets with Kishore. Both of them are endearingly sweet compositions.

This has been discussed a few times on HF and other places like RMIM. Shararat (1959) had an interesting story where Kishoreda played a double role. In the first half he plays the lover of Meena Kumari and has sung 2 solos and 2 duets with Geeta ji. In the song "Tune meraa dil liyaa" there is a hint that this character is going to die. The lines are "Tere kadmon pe ek din maroon, tu kahe haaye re kyaa hua". This character dies at the interval time and then Meena Kumari is married off to Raj Kumar. The second Kishore Kumar is the younger brother of Raj Kumar. Fingers are raised about relationship of this Kishore Kumar with Meena Kumari, but he treats her like his mother. (Remember the lines "Tum aayi maa ki mamtaa liye toh muskuraaye hum). Rafi sahab sings for this second Kishore Kumar. There is no song on Meena Kumari in the second half. Songs sung by Lata ji are filmed on the other heroine Kumkum.
I hope this clarifies the mystery regarding the choice of singers!
