Dear All Geetaji Fans,
I am starting a thread on some of the lesser heard songs of our beloved singer.
Ironically my first upload is one of the most popular songs of hers, but there is a twist.
The song in the Film had 2 extra lines which were deleted in the recorded version.

The song is "Yeh Lo Main Hari Piya" from Aarpaar.This is the version which has those 2 missing lines at the end :

"Dekho Main Gaali Doongi,
Chhod De Yeh Reet Re"

I hope you will like to hear this one.

Warmest Regards
Parag

Here is a next one in this series :

Song from "Love Marriage". Music by Shankar Jaikishen.

Enjoy the seductiveness of her voice in "Kareeb Aao Na Tadapao"

The next one in the series is from the legendary Burmanda. The movie is "Jaal" and Geetaji has sung this song with Kishorda. Observe the softness in Kishorda's voice.

Picturised on the charming Geeta Bali and evergreen Dev saab, this is a treat to hear or watch.

P.S. I am sure all the movie fans know that Surinder Kapoor (Father of Anil Kapoor and Boney Kapoor) was secretary to late Geeta Bali. Any film produced by Boney Kapoor has a tribute to Geeta Bali before the beginning of the movie. Many times I have felt that the few seconds of immortal smile of Geeta Bali is 1000 times better than the movie which follows later..

The next one is very soecial to me personally. This is "Chaand Hai Wo Hi" from the movie Parineeta.
Music by Arunkumar.

The reason why it is special for me is for the following lines :

"Raag Hain Wohi, Parag Hai Wohi Chaman
Phir Bhi Kyun Udaas Hain, Udaas Mera Mann"

The next in the series is masti bhara song from "Half Ticket". Sung by Geetaji in the company of Kishorda this is a foot tapper from the great Salil Choudhury. The song was picturized on the venus of Indian cinema Madhubala and Kishorda himself.

Have fun...

Here is a Geeta-Talat duet from the film "Bahu". The music is by Hemantda.

"Dekho Dekho Ji Balam
De Ke Biraha Ka Ghum
Mera Nanhasa Jeeya
Tadapana Naa"

This song from "Baazi" is very less talked about for some strange reason. This is a Geetaji solo.

"Laakh Zamane Waale
Dale Dilonpe Taale
Tum Bhi Na Bhulo Balam
Hum Bhi Na Bhoole"

Excellent start, Parag.
A song with one's name in it is always special!
Cheers.

Thanks a lot !
Your post made me smile.

Shuklaji, you are most welcome. This is just a decent start from my side.

Best Regards
Parag

Here is another Kishorda-Geetaji duet from the movie "Shararat" filmed on Kishorji and Meena Kumari.
Music is by Shankar Jaikishen

"Tune Mera Dil Liya
Teri Baaton Ne Jaadu Kiya"

Adding a beautiful pic of the beloved singer to refresh her memories

(This has been alredy posted on the forum..just adding it here for the sake of nostalgia)

Here is the next one by Geetaji and chorus from "Miss Mary". Music by Hemantda and lyrics by Rajinder Krishan. I am not sure if the song has been picturized on the heroine Meena Kumari.

"Aayi re ghir ghir
Pehali Pehali Badariya
Aaj sakhi zuki zuki
Kyon hain nazariya"

Looks like a song on the occasion of "God-Bharai" ( I dont know how can I explain this in English)..LOL

Listen to the "Ra Ra Ra Ra"...so sweetly rendered by Geetaji

The next one is from Sardar Malik. The movie is "Abe Hayat" (I dont know what this means)..

The song is sung by Geetaji and chorus..

"Mera Dil Meril Jaan,
Chaahe Le Le..."

See the variations in her voice..too good song...

Looks like many of her songs were from leser known smaller budget movies. Probably that is why these songs are heard less and less. (My personal opinion...)

Here is one very rare combination. Singers are Geetaji and Ashok Kumar (Yes dadamuni). The song is

"Sapera Been Bajoye Re"

Another Talat-Geeta duet from a lesser known movie "Makhkhichoos". I believe the music is by Vinod.

"Oh Arabpati ki chhori, gori gori"

Fun song..

Another rare gem from a lesser known music director Sailesh. The movie is Savera.
Its a Geetaji solo :

"Theharo jara see der toh
Aakhir chale hi jaaoge
Tum hi kaho karenge kya
Yaad joh humko aaoge"

Its a beauty...and a personal favourite of Geetaji.

Here is a Geetaji solo from the movie "Chhoomantar". Music is by the distinctive OPN.

"Raat nasheeli rang rangeeli mast hawa
Jaa mere chanda unko kahin se dhoondh ke la"

To quote the famous critic Hemant Parikh :

It was a simple tune equally simply put across, that is why it
was so lucidly picked up by the simple ear and the simple mind.


I think this says it all..enjoy the song..!!

Also have a look at her poularity in the late 40's and early 50's in the form of the pic of a banner showing her name as the most popular singer of those times. Obviously it is before her marriage as the name is "Geeta Roy"

One more pic of our beloved singer....

Here is one from the big hit of 1951 "Bazi". This rain song also did not get that much of popularity as that of "Tadbeer se", "Suno gajar kya" and sweet " Aaj ki raat piya".

Listen to the "Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip" which created the rain effect.

Hats off to Burmanda and Geetaji.

"Dekh ke akeli mohe barakha sataye
Gaalon ke choome kabhi chheeten udayen re
Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip
Uui..Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip Tip

Simply breath-taking !

Thank you Parag, dont feel bad about not receiving many replies...
the very fact that so many people have viewed and d/led ,is in itself a complement for the songs (and u) that have been uploaded.

Paragji


Thank you so much for the uploads and expectin more from you.

Dear Parag Ji,

You are right. The music for Makhee Choos was composed by Vinod.

The song was picurised on Shyama.
There are also three memorable solos in the movie by Talat.
