I don't have a single song from this album. Requesting the Forum members to share them if they can. Thank you. I have compiled a list of these songs in the table below ...

[swarapriya]

(Nutan) Manzil (1960)

Here is another top album from Burmanda. In this every song is an utter delight. Several beautiful solos including Hematda's chartbuster "Yaad Aa Gayi" and three beautiful duets. Two of these duets are especially very appealing; "Aye Kaash Chalte Milke" and "Chupke Se Mile". The extended version of the latter song is by the courtesy of the Forum member Sukesh Hoogan. Thank you very much Sukeshji. Rest of the songs are all from the original sound track album.

Here are these perennial pleasers ...

(Sharmila) Badnam Farishte (1971)

Here is a movie composed by N. Dutta that doesn't have lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi. Asad Bhopali, who wrote the lyrics for this movie does a great job. Rafi Saab's solo "Kahin Khilte Hain Phool" and solos by Asha are very good. It appears like I may be missing a song shown in red italics in the table below. If indeed this is the case, please kindly share. Thanks.

Here are the songs ...

(Saira) Jwar Bhata (1973)

Interestingly, Saira's husband, Dilipji made his debut in the same named film in 1944. The songs of this film all came from a DVD. Per EarthMusic it seems like there may be a female version of the song "Turu Ruru" that I am missing. The details are shown in red italics in the table below. If this is indeed the case, and if you can share this song with us, please kindly do.

Now for the songs from this album ...

Can you please provide source for Maya Gosh as a singer for the missing song.

Thanks.

(Vyjayanti) Naya Daur (1957)

This was B.R. Chopra's second movie as a producer. His first movie, "Ek Hi Raasta" was a huge success. During its jubilee celebrations, BR invited OP Saab to attend the function. One of the highlights of the evening was Punjabi folk dances and Bhangra dances. OP, who was signed to give music for BR's next film, decided to use this type of music as its main theme. No wonder "Naya Daur" heavily leans on the upbeat Punjabi music. Many people believe that O.P. Nayyar, who gave zestfully youthful music for this movie, was at peak of his form. May be. This movie came in early in OP’s career, who continued to churn out songs even after this movie that were chartbusters and perennial pleasers. The exuberance and energy of music that was evident through out this movie were trademark traits of the foot tapping music of OPji. Music for this movie was definitely a feather in Nayyar Saab’s cap. But his cap also was adorned with many such colorful feathers.

Sahir Ludhianvi wrote some of the finest lyrics for this movie. Remember, this very same year, Guru Dutt’s classic “Pyaasa” was released, the movie in which Sahir hit a new pinnacle. "Naya Daur" was the first of the many movies that Sahir collaborated with Chopra brothers (Bal Raj and Yash Raj) until his death.

Madhubala was originally cast opposite Dililp Saab to play as the leading lady. B.R. paid her advance and shot several weeks of film with her. Then the shooting shifted from Bombay to outdoors in Bhopal. This was the time when Dilip was making advances for Madhubala's affections and it was no secret in the film industry. Because of the extended weeks of shooting scheduled for Bhopal, Madhubala's father became nervous and decided to pull her off the film. Even though her love for Dilp was reciprocal, Madhubala decided to stick with her father's decision. Chopra sued Madhubala asking court to honor the commitment she made. But it was evident that the court was not in a hurry to make any decision soon. Chopraji went ahead and replaced Madhubala with Vyjayanti Mala. Dilip Kumar himself was called as a witness to the court that had open proceedings. He testified against Madhubala and her father. It was evident that Madhubala was about to lose the case. In the mean time the film was made, released, and became a runaway hit. There was a lot of negative publicity and Madhubala's reputation tarnished and as a result she suffered severely. Chopra finally decided to drop the case to save the eternal beauty from further embarrassment and possible conviction.

Akhtar Mirza, the story writer of "Naya Daur", initially approached several producers to make this story into a movie. Those decided not to touch the subject matter include Raj Kapoor, Mehboob Khan, and Subodh Mukherjee. But when BR Chopra heard the story, he at once decided to make it into a movie.

Also, BR wanted Dilp Saab to play the lead. When he approached Dilip, he refused thinking that it will not fly. BR was coming off fresh from the success of his first movie "Ek Hi Raasta" which starred Ashok Kumar. Ashok and Dilp Kumar were good friends. Ashok Kumar heard the story and knew Chopra Saab. He persuaded Dilipji to accept the role. Under his persuasion, Dilipji reluctantly accepted to play the lead.

Ironically, this movie won Dilip Saab the Best Actor award from Filmfare. Also, the story by Akhtar Mirza also won the Filmfare award. OP Saab's music also won the best music award. This was the only Filmfare award OP won.

All songs I am uploading here are from CD. All extended versions are courtesy of the members of the Forum. There is that horse trotting song also present in this movie, "Maang Ke Saath." Like "Mughal-E-Azam" this movie was also colorized and re-released in 2004. Whereas the former hit the box office bull's eye, "Naya Daur" couldn't earn the colorization money invested.

I am uploading these songs in back-to-back two posts. Now for details of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves ...
