Hello All,

I am very delighted to find this thread as I am looking for "Meri Jaan" from Anubhav by Geeta Dutt. If anybody has it, could you please upload it?

Thanks,
Pritika.

A lesser known Geeta Dutt film is Milaap(1954) and it had wonderful songs. I have only one song from the film- 'Hum se bhii karlo kabhi kabhi to mithi mithi do baatein.' Does anyone have other numbers from the film especially the lovely 'jaate ho to jaao par jaooge kahaan babuji phir aisa dil paaoge kahaan.' If yes, then please upload.

Welcome to HF.

"I hope mom's fans will give me a chance. I know comparisons are inevitable."

A singer named Nina Memon is about to cut her first album. So what's new in this age of Indipop? Nothing, except that Nina is the daughter of legendary playback singer Geeta Dutt, who immortalised songs like Mera naam chin chin choo and Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo with her sensuous renditions and golden voice.

Nina was ten when she lost her mother Geeta Dutt. An early marriage to Mehmood's nephew Naushad and subsequent motherhood propelled Nina to put her singing ambitions on the backburner. Now, Nina is ready to make her foray into the music world with her first album Kaisa hai ye pyaar.

College friend Tutun Roy, a talented guitarist and a music programmer, has composed eight numbers, which include a hardcore rock and roll and a rap duet with Lucky Ali's younger brother Mansoor Ali. Tutun Roy describes Nina's voice as "unique, and very deep". indya.com met Nina on her recent visit to Mumbai. Excerpts from an interview.

What motivated you to think of singing as a career today?
My main inspiration is my husband. In fact, since my marriage to Naushad 13 years ago, he has been urging me to take up music professionally. Though I love music, I didn't do it as I wanted to give enough time to my kids. Today my daughter Nafisa is twelve and my son Aman is eight. Now I feel I have the time and the space to do something for myself. Music has naturally been my first choice.

Was your mother Geeta Dutt your first teacher of music?
No. My mother passed away when I was just ten. She was tied up with a lot of work. So I couldn't learn from her. She did arrange a music teacher for me at one point, but I really picked up music only in my teens.

What are your strongest memories of your mother?
There was a lot of mischief in my mother. She was fun loving. She loved to have friends around her. I do not remember ever seeing my mother alone. She was an in-doors person and liked to be at home. She'd be cooking and then ever so often she would pull out the harmonium and sing both Hindi and Bengali songs. A tabalchi named Debu would accompany her.

What are our memories of your father, Guru Dutt?
My father died when I was just two. I know him just as the world knows him, as a great filmmaker. I have no personal memories.

One can see, you have eyes like your mother's and some of her other features. Would you say your style of singing is like hers?
No. My voice is huskier than my mother's. Probably an expression here and there may remind one of her style, but I don't attempt to sound like her. I hope mom's fans will give me a chance. I know comparisons are inevitable.

What kind of music appeals to you?
I am all for melody. My top favourites among my mother's songs are Waqt ne kiya and Chale aao. I don't care much for the likes of Punjabi pop. Tutun and I have ensured that my first album has a lot of melody.

What are your future plans?
I am open to doing any kind of music, even playback singing, provided I feel I have the space to do it well. I would like to do a tribute to both my father and mother. In fact, I am working on a collection of my mother's songs. But I would like to release that later. First, I want people to hear my voice and accept me. I guess, they would then be easier on me.

The one female singer who was not intimidated by her friend and confidante, Lata-ji. And perhaps Asha-ji took some tips from Geeta Dutt's singing. For Geeta-ji could sing a catchy or sad or romantic song for the heroine, yet sound coquettish for the vamp.

Here's one that the music publishers don't usually include in their compilations:

Here is a Geeta Dutt solo from the film "Musaafirkhana",
music is by O P Nayyar and the year is 1955. Nice song, with
the typical OPN orchestration and sung very nicely by Geeta.

Other songs from this film have been posted in various
forums (most recently a couple of songs in the Asha forum).

Here is a Gita Dutt's rare gem from- Film: JAAN PEHCHAAN (1950)

I don't have the other song, but Earthmusic lists "Aaja kar le muqabla" as a Hemant/Geeta duet.

thanks for the song unni ji...the another one is a rafi duet for sure..

irfan...

O my God!! Thanks Unni Ji sooooo much! I wonder how you have all these songs. Please upload more of these uncommon songs. I am just crazy about Geeta Dutt (from the age of 13). Also if you find any writings etc. or articles , pictures , please share it with us.

Lets really keep Geeta Dutt alive. She deserves it after all.... Whenever I read about her life I just feel how much UNFAIR life has been to her. No one seems to care about the wealth of songs she has left behind.

Also if anyone can get the Bengali movie Badhu Baran (1967, Rakhi Gulzar is also in it). i would like to see a motion pic in which Geeta Dutt appears. The only glance that I had of Geeta Dutt was in Kala Bazaar when she is walking with guru Dutt towards the auditorium.

Lets keep sharing about the most unsung personality in Indian playback domain...

'I miss my father terribly'

Syed Firdaus Ashraf | October 15, 2004 15:01 IST


When I was eight, I was at school watching a cartoon film [as a treat] on my principal's birthday. We were enjoying the film when suddenly one of my uncles came and took me away. I was very angry with him. I just didn't want to leave. I told him that I would complain about him to my father.

When we reached home there was silence in [the house]. My father was lying down. I thought, at first, that he was sleeping. I never thought he was dead. I had never seen a dead person so I guessed he was asleep.

I was too young to realise or understand the loss. But as time passed, I realised he would not come back. Forty years after his death, I realise the importance of October 10, 1964. He passed away early in the morning, around 1 am. But the news came post-sunrise after the door was broken down to find his dead body.

A lot of theories have been put forth on why he committed suicide. But I think it was an accident. He had scheduled appointments the next day with [actress] Mala Sinha for Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi and Rajsaab [Raj Kapoor] to discuss making colour films.

Guru Dutt on rediff.com!




'Guru Dutt attempted suicide thrice'

'Nobody really knows what happened on October 10'

'He didn't make films. He made poetry'

Guru Dutt: The man who couldn't digest failure

'Guru Dutt Lives On'





He was to meet them and chalk out some plans. So I don't think there was any reason for him to commit suicide. My father had sleeping disorders and popped sleeping pills like any other person. That day he was drunk and had taken an overdose of pills, which culminated in his death. It was a lethal combination of excessive liquor and sleeping pills.

Some people say the breakdown of his affair with Waheeda Rehman led him to commit suicide. I don't believe is so. Their affair was over long before. Yes, he was having problems with my mother [singer Geeta Dutt] but nor do I think that was the reason.

He was depressed that day while he was sitting with Abrar Uncle [Abrar Alvi, his dialogue writer and director of Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam] in the evening. We were supposed to meet him the next day after school. Let people say what they want, but my personal view is that it was an accident.

Others say a financial crisis after Kagaz Ke Phool flopped led him to commit suicide. But he had made good money before that. Chaudhvin Ka Chand was one of the biggest revenue grossers in its time. He had made the film for Rs 1,800,000 and had earned Rs 4,800,000 from just the Bombay territory.

He had only two failures in life -- his first film Baaz, which he made in partnership with Haridarshan Kaur [Geeta Bali's sister], was a failure and the other was Kagaz Ke Phool. Kagaz Ke Phool was a masterpiece in the way it was executed. Every aspect of the film is out of this world. People did not understand the subject in its time. They understand the importance of it now. It was way ahead of its time.

My father never wanted any of us to join the film industry because he knew about its insecurities. He showed his insecurity after he made Kagaz Ke Phool. He had started getting recognition but he was pessimistic. He was introverted and could not talk about his feelings to others. He was a very sensitive person and spoke very little.

If you see his initial films -- Mr And Mrs 55 or Aar Paar -- you will notice he played very enthusiastic [exuberant] roles. By the time he did Pyaasa he had developed maturity. He changed completely with different films. He then carried that forward. Pyaasa was originally called Kashmakash. He wrote the script during the struggle of his early days. The idea was always with him. He wanted to first establish himself before going the artistic way.

I don't have many memories of him as a child. He was very fond of hunting. I went with him once to Kashmir and then again to Khandwa [Madhya Pradesh] with Johnny Uncle [Johnny Walker]. I fell into the Dal Lake in Srinagar twice and he jumped in to rescue me. He was a very reserved father, not an overly hugging type.

On our visit to the jungles of Khandwa our jeep broke down. We had to walk 15 kilometers to reach civilisation. I had a good time with him then. The biggest irony is he never won any awards. He never canvassed for awards. He never cared about them. Awards had lot of a politics behind them. He never wanted to be in that kind of politics. It is sad and unfortunate that he never got the recognition he deserved. Neither the media nor the industry gave him recognition then. Many reviews of his
films were nasty too.

The new generation has a lot to learn from him -- his dedication to work, the manner in which he worked on a subject, the way he used the trolley and camera. Though he aspired to make films without music he is still known for the best song picturisations in Indian cinema.

He was a reluctant actor. He never wanted to act but somehow he could not find the right kind of actors for his films and therefore he had to act in them. Shammi Kapoor, for instance, was supposed to do Aar Paar; Dilip Kumar was to play the poet in Pyaasa. He was a shy in front of the camera though he was always comfortable behind the camera.

If you see his films you will realise that they have not become irrelevant. All the problems of society he tackled are still relevant today. That's why his themes seem fresh though 40 years have passed. People can still identify with his films. They enjoy seeing them again and again.

I miss my father terribly. I wish I could have learnt a lot of things from him. More than the loss of a father I miss a good director under whom I could have learnt things. I think of him every day. I run his company and see his films every day. You always learn something when you see his films each time.

Regards
Abbasi

Sangeet Bhakt .....You dont know wat you did by uploading this song ...i dont have words to appritiate your help.....I m on my knees to say thanks for this..i really mean it.

But I DO know how you feel. Just the way I felt when I first heard this song. I
used to play it in a loop over and over again for quite a few days. And this was
on a cassette. So it was not easy to play it in a loop, believe me

Sangeet Bhakt ji ...By any chance do you have any songs from Mastani (1955)

I just wonder where do you guys get these songs from? I would love to buy any song of Geeta Dutt.

Thanks so much and please post more of these uncommon songs that are not available in the market.

Thanks again.

First, there is no "ji" after my name

About the film, unfortunately, I don't have any of those songs. Also, there
are no Geeta Dutt songs in this film btw. Just wanted to mention that since
you had made the request in the "Geeta Dutt" thread.
