Three Of A Kind, Dev, Dilip & Kishore Options

[swarapriya]

(Kishore) Naukri (1954)

Bimalda tackled so many socially relevant issues in his movies that most of his films stand as towering pillars of Indian cinema. He was brilliant. He was a genius. He was insightful. He was relevant. Take this movie, for example. It tackles the issue of unemployment. This was in 1954. The subject is still very relevant even today. Bimalda tackles this social evil, or malaise, in such a sensitive way that you cannot help but love for his deep insights into the human psyche. Here he has Kishoreda as his actor. In the hands of Bimalda, Kishore comes through as one of the sensitive and restrained performers. The pathos, the pensiveness, the gloom, the helplessness, yet the ray of hope, hope for a better tomorrow - all these moods and shades of life Kishoreda brings in brilliantly.

This movie also introduced Mahmood in a bit role.

Salilda was skeptical about Kishoreda's singing abilities. He initially dismissed him as a singer because Kishoreda had no formal training in music or singing. But after taking a couple of trial tests, Salilda was impressed enough that he let him sing the song "Chhota Sa Ghar Hoga". Salilda originally had Hemantda in mind to sing this song, but instead settled on Kishoreda. Hemantda does sing an abbreviated version of this song. Kishore's song almost starts like yodelling with "Aa Airey Aa Airey" and picks up with a beautiful rhythm. An absolute beauty.

Kishoreda also sings a couple of other beauties. One is "Arji Hamaari" which starts like a dialogue and transforms into a beautiful song. Then the other one is the song "Ek Chhoti Si Naukri" that Kishoreda sang with Shankar Dasgupta and Shyam Mitra.

Then there is another beautiful song by Geetaji, "Jhoome Re". In Geetaji's beatifully stylized distinctive sweet voice, one can feel the pleasures of the first flush of love. A real lovely.

Here are the songs ...

(Kishore) Teen Tasveerein (1954)

I don't have a single song from this album. Please kindly share if you have any. Thanks.

I think, Kishore Kumar didn't worked in this film as the actors were, Anil Kishore & Kumar

(Kishore) Teen Tasveerein (1954)

I don't have a single song from this album. Please kindly share if you have any. Thanks.

That figures. No wonder we are not able to come up with these supposedly Kishore-starrer film songs. Appreciate giving the information, Erum. Thank you very much.

Cheers,

In the filmography of the book Kishore Kumar The Many Faces of a Genius by Nerurkar it is written that Kishoreda had worked in the film Teen Tasveerein but he had not sung any song in this film.

(Kishore) Baap Re Baap (1955)

This album has two music directors; C. Ramchandra and O.P. Nayyar. I am not sure how this came about. There are 11 songs in it. Ramchandra composed three songs and OP the rest. It is just Asha, Asha, and more Asha in these songs. She sings 10 of 11, eight solos and two duets. The other song is a solo by Kishoreda. This album boasts one of the very popular duets of Asha and Kishore in "Piya Piya". A lovely composition by OP.

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

Concluding Songs of "Baap Re Baap (1955)" ...

Here are the rest of the songs from this fine album. I am also posting a special version of the song "Piya Piya Piya" with an introduction by Asha Bhosle where she talks about how Kishoreda's funny antics during rehearsals sometimes made it so difficult to sing. This is taken from the album "Legends: Kishore Kumar - The Versatile Genius (CD 1)".

Now for the songs ...
