I think Mahesh ji has summarized the wishes and sentiments of all of us.
Pradeep ji, Nimii : Please give a thought over this kind request..

Cheers
Parag

Me too.

Definitly Geeta Dutt deserves a place in the main forum.Pradeepji I know that Geeta Dutt is your favourite female singer.So please consider the humble request of all Geetaji fans

Paragji.Waiting for your special tribute.I hope you will upload it here after broad casting in HF radio.

Requesting all fans of Geetaji to express their viewpoint on this !

Cheers
Parag

P.S. Yes Ashraf bhai, we will upload the songs played on HF radio for sure

Nice initiative Parag ....keep up the good work...

And i m agree with Mahesh Ji it is the right time to have geeta ji back on the front page.

Karwaaan Guzar Gaya
Gubbar Dekhte Rahe.

As the time will pass-on, the shine of Gem know as 'Geeta Dutt' will shine more and more and the above written words will automatically come out from lips.

The Great Geeta Dutt deserves all kind of appreciation.

I will humbly request to Admin for shifting this great thread to main forum page.

I am sure Admin is very kind & will hear everyones request.

USR

Me also in favour of putting this Geeta Dutt forum in the main one....as far as I remember that was indeed for fews days ..but after some time our admin had shifted it in sub forum...May be due to less no. of responses in the forum..but now as this one also seems a quite busy forum...it should be promoted in the main forum.

Vikram ji, USR ji and Deepak ji, many thanks for being with us on this.

It would be great when more and more HFM lovers will be able to enjoy more and more songs of Geetaji. I have read in so many articles, blogs on the net that Geetaji's duets with Rafi saab are rated finest among the duets.

Cheers

Parag

By the way, as I am preparing myself to start working on the quiz, please let me know if it is a good idea to have 2 quizes :
1) Fan quiz : Related to her popular and not so rare songs
2) Fanatics quiz : Related to her not so popular and rare songs

Looking forward to hear from you all !

Parag

Another update on the banners made by Subir ji on this speial occassion :

Subir ji has made 3 lovely baners which have been approved by Pradeep ji. Looking forward to seeing them on HF page on 23rd November.

Subir ji, many thanks for your special efforts for this cause !

Best Regards
Parag

Thanks for initiating and all your efforts. I used to be active a year back but now the time (the real devil!) doesn't permit me to take part in any activity! Please go ahead with your plan and feel free to contact me on any issue (whatever little I know) regarding Geetaji's songs!
Best of luck!

not available in my collection.

Some one please help..!

Thanks
Parag

Parag for Rajkumari/Geeta Dutt nos. - we have two movies - one is Neel Kamal (1947) and the other is Suhaag Raat (1948). If someone has any of these, it shld be helpful

That was great clue Nimii. I found "Ankh jo dekhe woh dhoka khaye hain" which is a trio of Geetaji, Mukesh saab and Rajkumari ji (with some dialogues of Raj Kapoor and Madhubala)

So now need help on songs with S D Batish saab, A R Oza and Pankaj Malik (if there is any song of Geetaji with this legendary artiste)

Thanks and regards
Parag

Let me google and get some info

My search on google has not yielded any promising results Nimii. It seems that even though she did sing a few songs (One I know is from Zalzala) under the baton of legendary Pankaj Malik, she probably did not sing a duet/trio song with him...

Parag bhai, I am presently travelling and looks like I won't be back before middle of next week - so computer and HF access is not regular.

Yep same bad luck here

I don't think that any duet of Geeta Ji & Pt.S.D.Batish exist.
BTW Geeta Ji has sung a song under his composition :-

Film - Bahu Beti
Lyrics-Kaifee Azmi Sahab
MD - Pt. S.D.Batish
Year - 1952
Singer-(nuttkhatt)Geeta Dutt

Mose Chanchal Jawani
Sambhali Nahin Jaaye


USR

USR ji, this is one of my favorites too. ( I heard that this was removed from the film as the censors in those times it was felt that the wordings of the song were "Non acceptable")

By the way here is a known duet of S D Batish ji with Geetaji :

Geeta Dutt, S D Batish - Nazdeek na aana (Bahu beTi) [S D Batish, 1952]

I have heard this on radio cylone long time back !

Cheers
Parag

Can any one PM me a song of Geetaji from the year 1965 please ? This is the only year I am missing a song for the radio program ?

Thanks to all for your help

Regards
Parag

I Have with GD/GR

2 with Shamshad - [Shabnam & Sheesh Mahal]

vasudev

Usha ji, many thanks for lending a helping hand. I think the song "Lat ulajhi hain" from Insaan aur Insaan is from the year 1970 as per the details with me (from the 5 CD set "Legends").

Can some one confirm/correct it ?

I am also not aware as to who is the male singer in the song "Uthat chale awadhoot" from Jogan. Hamaracd does not mention the male singer's name for this song.

Parag

Vasudev ji, many thanks for your help. I sincerely appreciate.

Cheers
Parag

Mohd bhai, thank you so much. I did not know that the male singer in this song is Shyamsunder.
Is it the same as MD Shyamsunder ??

Parag

This is another rare song not in my collection. Thanks again vasudev ji. I will be including this one in the "Badalate hue saathi" thread.

Cheers
Parag

so ity seems to be more or less confirmed that we do not have any of her songs for the years 1968 and 1969.

Any luck on 1965 ?

Parag

Parag tomorrow is 20th. We have to finalise everything and get it ready boss! I am getting a bit nervous here!

Nimii jiiiiiiiii...

Everything is under control. Just PMed you the list of songs for radio program. The songs for the "Badalate Hue Saathi" are also kind of finalized. Need help from you to make it "FLowery"..

Thanks to everyone for their overwhelming help to make it happen

No it is not the voice of the comedian shyamsunder, who played a major role in this
movie. There are two voices of unknown people. Even the picturisation of the song
has been carried out on some persons from the general public.

That was nice piece of info, Mahesh ji. By the way, has Shyam Sunder (the MD) has ever sung a song ?

Parag

I once again take an opportunity to thank all members (especially some one who does not want to be named !) for their immense help in preparing for this program.

I hope the music lovers will participate in the quiz coming up on Thursday.

It is the musical magic of Geetaji which is giving me energy for doing my little bit in spite of my continuing health problems since the day I have come back to India from London.

Heartfelt thanks and best regards to all

Cheers
Parag
