Hum Dono (1961)
This happened to be one of the most popular albums of Jaidevji. Dev, whose regular was S.D. Burman, decided to give an opportunity to Jaidev, a longtime assistant to SD. Jaidevji returned the favour with spectacular results. Jaidev already made his solo debut with Chetan Anand's film, "Joru ka Bhai" in 1955, so it wasn't that he was going for the first time as an independent music director. Here Jaidevji was working with Sahir Saab. Sahir Saab wrote some rich and beautiful lyrics. All songs became extremely popular and even today they are enjoyed for their youthful freshness. Solos by Asha and Rafi Saab especially are fondly remembered even today after nearly 50 years for their literary richness and the way they were unforgettably performed. I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. I am including some specials in the second post. Here are the songs in the first post... Attached image(s) |

Concluding Songs from "Hum Dono (1961)"...
Here are the rest of the songs from this beautiful album. I am also including a couple of specials. One of this is with Dev's monologue before the song "Kabhi Khud Pe". This is taken from the album "Legends: Dev Anand - The Evergreen Star (CD 3)". From the same album there is an introduction by Dev to the song "Main Zindagi" I am uploading this as well. Here are the songs... Attached image(s) |

Dharmputra (1961)
Yash Chopra, who made the stunning debut as a director with "Dhool Ka Phool" in 1959, once again comes through with such a fine and thought provoking film in "Dharmputra". It was again produced by his older brother, Bal Raj. The story was set during the partition days and the implications of Hindu-Muslim religious conflicts form its core. The movie got the Best Picture National Award but was a financial failure. After this debacle Yash Chopra never dealt such a daring subject for the rest of his film making career. Shashi Kapoor got a real adult role for the first time in his career in this movie. Shashikala and Rajendra Kumar make uncredited appearances, both in separate song sequences. One thing that stands out in the movie, apart from its noble plot, is the beautiful music and rich lyrics. N. Dutta tunes many magnificent melodies to the lyrics of Sahir Saab. There are many excellent songs in the movie. For example Mahendra has two of his best solos in "Aaj Ki Raat" and "Bhool Sakta Hai Bhala Kaun". Then there is Rafi Saab's rollicking "Jo Yeh Dil Diwaana". Asha also has two unforgettable numbers in "Main Jab Bhi" and "Naina Kyon". There is also a beautiful qawwali. I have many favorites in this album, but for me, the standout song is Asha's "Main Jab Bhi Akeli Hoti Hoon". Asha elevates this song an extra level to give it that sweet touch; it caresses your thoughts like eastern breeze. Utterly unforgettable melody... Now for these beautiful songs... Attached image(s) |

Have you seen the picturization -- one of the greatest imo with young Tanuja being so cute. BTW, Raaj Kumar is not in this movie. It's a crediting error on IMDB. Tanuja plays a big role though. |

Here's Gumrah (1963)
[quote]Here is another film from B.R. Chopra that was a huge hit. The subject deals with a husband tormenting his wife to mend her ways because he suspects that she may be unfaithful. The movie boasts some fine performances by Mala Sinha and Ashok Kumar. But it is the music that is the main reason I think that the movie became such a huge winner. It is the combination of Ravi and Sahir again. As has been the case umpteen number of times before this, the music and songs for this film are no exception. Ravi utilizes talents of only two singers here, that of Asha and Mahendra. Mahendra especially comes through shining with several great songs. There are so many great songs in this movie that it is really difficult to single out one over another. All of the solos by Mahendra and his duets with Asha are just outstanding. I have a couple of favorites in this album. The solo by Mahendra "Aa Bhi Jaa" is just an absolute beauty. Very few words. But the way the song was composed and executed is just lovely. Another of my favorite is the duet "Aaja Aaja Re". Great lyrics. Lovely singing. Melodious music. The whole experience becomes such a sweet memory. Here are the details of the songs from this original soundtrack album and the songs themselves ..." Three songs here.. Four songs in the next post.. Attached image(s) |
