Shair Aur Sargam, Songs From Movies of 7 Great Lyricists Options

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Humsaya (1968)

I am uploading songs from this album skipping the chronological order of Jaipuri Saab's films to cater for a request...

Magnificent music composed by the venerable OP is simply wasted in this mediocre movie. It was produced and directed by Joy Mukherjee who also had a dual role in the film. Some of the beautiful songs include Rafi Saab’s solo, “Dil Ki Aawaaz”, Asha’s “O Kanhaiya”, and also Asha’s “Woh Haseen Dard”. Especially “Haseen Dard” is simply outstanding. I am uploading these and other songs from the film including some music clips in two back-to-back posts.

Here are the songs in the first post…

(Javed Akhtar) Baadshah (1999)

The director duo Abbas & Mustan who gave boost to Shah Rukh Khan’s career with “Baazigar” in 1993 are at it again here with Khan. The music is again by Anu Malik. The storyline of the film borrows heavily from a handful of English films including “Mr. Nice Guy (1997)”, “Rush Hour (1998)”, “The Mask (1994)” and others. The net result is a film with action and comedy that mostly borders on slapstick. The film was a hit.

Anu Malik’s music, not entirely original, also helps carry the film even though. The songs have traces of his other film “Baazigar” and Kalyanji & Anandji’s 1989 “Tridev”. I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. Here are the songs in the first post…

(Majrooh) Kali Topi Lal Rumal (1959)

The major distinguishing feature of this film is its hit songs composed by Chitragupt ji. Every song in this film became a chartbuster. The song “Laagi” appears twice in the film. The second time only half of the song appears. It is identical to the first song except it has extended music at the end. I am including the part 2 of this song here for completeness sake.

(Rajinder Krishan) Baarish (1957)

This is yet another beautiful album from the combination of the music director C. Ramchandra and the lyricist Rajinder Krishan. Most of the songs from this film became very popular when the film was released. Only problem the movie encountered was the star pair of this film was also in another movie that was released about the same time. That movie was "Paying Guest". It was an enormous hit and this took away much of the "thunder" from "Baarish".

I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. The first post contains all of the songs from the film. The second post contains several music clips. The clips came from a DVD and their quality varies from fair to average. Because of this I am uploading these at a lower bit rate.

(Shailendra) Deep Jalta Rahe (1959)

With a title like “Deep Jalta Rahe” I was hoping for an illuminating viewing experience. But the movie turned out to be like a dying lamp that it could not shed even subdued light. Roshan Saab’s music is a cut above the movie yet there is not much to remember in it. On the other hand the background music has some clips where the use of flute, veena, tabla, and other instruments stand out. I am uploading some of these clips in the second post with all songs in the first post.

Incidentally the credits give Shailendra as the lone lyricist. But various other sources credit Rahil Gorakhpuri as the lyricist for the song “Tohre Nainwa”.

Here are this and other songs from the film in this first post…

(Shakeel) Aurat (1967)

This family drama came from the Gemini house which gave so many hit films. Unfortunately this was a miss. It had superb songs composed by Ravi to the lyrics of Shakeel Badayuni Saab, but the story was so tame that it could hardly hold interest in the proceedings. Kishore Sahu, who earlier directed for Gemini the hit film “Grahasti” in 1963, wrote the dialogues. This was one of the earliest films of Rajesh Khanna who was introduced only a year back. He did not have much to do in the film as it was all Padmini in a dramatic role with a forgettable performance.

Here are the nice songs from this film…

(Anand Bkashi) Chandan Ka Palna (1967)

Meena Kumari and Dharmendra appeared in seven movies together. Except for “Kaajal (1965)” and “Phool aur Patthar (1966)” rest of the movies did not fare well. This was one of them. It came on the heels of their golden jubilee hit “Phool aur Patthar”. The story as old fashioned as it can get. With Meena not having children she decides to break her marriage by devising a scheme so that her husband can divorce her and marry again to have children.

The major highlight of the film was the touch of magic of music in the hands of RD. Most of the songs became very popular. The number “Nir Tat Dhang”, a dance competition between Mahmood and Dhumal, must have inspired RD to compose the song “Ek Chatur Naar” for the 1968 musical comedy hit “Padosan”. Among other songs, Lata’s “O Ganga Maiyya” stands out. This song comes almost near the end of the film and appears three times in quick succession, some of it is with repetition. I am uploading two versions here.

Here are these songs and others in two back-to-back posts…
