(Shakeel) Bin Badal Barsaat (1963)

The hit team of Hemantda and Badayuni Saab who gave us two robust and memorable hits in “Bees Saal Baad” and “Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam” only the previous year are back with a bang again in this film. “Bin Badal Barsaat” also boasts several memorable songs. Many of the songs became very popular. My personal favorites are all the songs by Hemantda, two solos and a duet. Especially both the solos are so mellifluously seductive that Hemantda’s voice simply sways one away. I am not sure whether these types of songs anyone else can do any better. Love you Hemantda. Of these two solos my personal favorite is the song “Jab Jaag Uthe”. It has great lyrics by Shakeelji and magnificently sung by Hemantda. Ohhh…

I am uploading this and other songs from this album below…

(Anand Bakshi) Shreeman Funtoosh (1965)

Even though Kishoreda made an occasionally brilliant movie during 60’s (for example, “Door Gagan ki Chhaon Mein (1964)” and “Padosan (1968)”), most of the movies he starred in were generally bad. This film is a prime example. Like “Mr. X in Bombay (1964)” and “Hum Sab Ustad Hain (1965)”, Laxmikant & Pyarelal were the music directors for this film as well. Interestingly, in all these three films, the only redeeming feature was their music.

I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. The first post contains all songs from the film. The second post contains a version song of the hit “Yeh Dard Bhara” and some instrumentals of the same song.

Here are the songs from the film…

(Javed Akhtar)...Aur Pyar Ho Gaya (1997)

This film was loosely based on the 1994 English film “Only You”. That romantic comedy starred Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey in the leads. The film was a flop. The Hindi film starred Aishwarya Rai and Bobby Deol. It was Rai’s first Hindi film. The Hindi film was a dismal failure.

One of the highlights of the Hindi film was its music by the late great Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. With many of them and most of longer duration the songs do not live up to the reputation of Khan Saab. However couple of songs are worth mentioning. These include “Koi Jaane” where Ustadji is one of the singers. With his trademark voice the song has some of the elements in it that made Khan Saab a legend. Another song is the solo by Udit, “Sitaaron Si”. Please note that the beginning of the song “Zindagi” is part of the Title Music that is separately listed here.

I am uploading these and other songs in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Majrooh) Night Club (1958)

Comedian actor Gope passed away before this movie was completed. This is a poorly made film that wasted talents of Kamini Kaushal and Ashok Kumar. Madan Mohan Saab’s music calls for several western numbers as most of the songs were picturized in a night club. May be because of this atmosphere in the movie, Mohan Saab’s favorite Lataji is missing. Asha comes through by sharing bulk of the numbers.

There are a couple of good songs in this film. The song by Geetaji, “Kahaan Phir Hum”, and Ashaji’s “Dil Le Ke” are worth mentioning. Unfortunately the quality of the latter song is not that crisp. For this reason, I am uploading it at a lower bit rate.

Here are these and other songs from this film…

(Shailendra) Kath Putli (1957)

Amiya Chakrabarty was on a roll with several commercial and critical successes in a row when he decided to make this movie. Some of his previous efforts included films like “Daag (1952)”, “Patita (1953)”, “Seema (1955)”, and “Dekh Kabira Roya (1957)”. This film was his second one in 1957. Unfortunately before the movie was competed Chakrabartyji passed away. Nitin Bose took over and completed the film.

Besides directing the film, Chakrabarty wrote its story, screenplay, and co-produced the film as well. The movie had a hodgepodge of a storyline with generous amount lifted from George Bernard Shaw’s play “Pygmalion” (made into a movie many times, including “My Fair Lady”). Even though it was difficult to watch over several stretches, thanks to great music by SJ and Vyjayanti Mala’s dances and performance, the movie at least was partly enjoyable. Balraj Sahni’s performance was as expected but the major disappointment was that of Jawahar Kaul. This man simply could not act. The movie was a hit.
