Pehli Jhalak (1954)
"Pehli Jhalak" starred Vyjayanti Mala & Kishore Kumar. They made several movies together, most of them huge hits (Aasha, New Delhi, and Rungoli). I have seen this movie way back when, that I don't remember even remotely anything about it. With Kishore in the lead one would think that he probably has several songs in this movie. Surprisinly there is only one song he has sung for this movie, and that too is an inferior effort in my opinion. Lata had several solos and some of them are good. Hemantda has a solo. As usual, he is great. I am not sure whether he was lending his voice to Kishoreda in this movie. This is one reason I am suspeecting that, may be this is not the right movie I am crediting for thisong. I have collected most of these songs from various CD collections I have. Some songs were shared by a friend. All the exended versions of the songs are courtesy of the Forum members.
Because I have assembled these songs from various sources, for some of you the quality may not be uniform. Because this gives me an opportunity to share all songs from this movie at the same time instead of one here and one there, I am motivated for this upload.
Now for details of the songs and songs themselves ...
