Updated List with more movies.

Cheers
Parag

Yes, Its bigger than what I had thought of initially. I just started typing the names and the names kept flowing. There must be others as well, I feel.
Request others to add others as well which I may have missed out.

Added some more. I am surprised at having left out some of these earlier. Adding some more after scanning mahesh ji's lovingly prepared filmography. I haven't heard songs of many of these movies. There maybe others in the years mahesh ji is still making filmography. Its a brilliant effort sir. Do let me know if you need any help from me in this regard. Thanks for everything.

Added the bengali Suchitra Sen starrer Hospital to the list. Were there any other regional films of hers with english titles?

According to this post of Lakshmi ji, Miss bombay had a Geeta song as well (which is however missing). So we now have 61 movies in all with english titles!

Wow,

Thanks to Lakshmi and HB. I was kind of unaware about this song from Miss Bombay. EM database also lists this song here

http://www.earthmusic.net/hindi-film-songs...vie=miss+bombay

Looking forward to some kind soul to share this rare song "hamko na dekho jaani hans ke" sung by Geeta ji for composer Hansraj Behl sahab for the film Miss Bombay (1957).

Thanks
Parag

Read somewhere of a movie called Passing Show(1956) which had atleast one song Bachna Zara Teer Chale by her
Does anybody have idea about this movie?

Also there is another movie Fighting Queen(1956) with atleast two Geeta songs, Ban Ke Bahaar Aayi hoon and Peehu Peehu Piya Bole.

Film Wild Cat (1960) (also called Bambai Ki Billi) had two Geeta songs Dil ke Paar Ho Gayi Teri Ek Nazar and Dildaar Tu Hai Mera Pyar Tu Hai.

Adding the two movies to the list.

I think you already got the song now.

This is most probably an unreleased film. Found this song recently on Prof. Surjit Singh's site.

Aditya

Dada Burman's Society had one Geeta Dutt Solo and one duet with Rafi.
Then there were:
Chitragupta's Police Detective and Band Master
Madan Mohan's Night Club
Suresh-Talwar's Fashionable Wife
N. Datta's Doctor Shaitan
Bipin Babul's Diamond King
Bulo C. Rani's Black Tiger

And would Johnny Walker qualify?

Thanks Aditya for pointing out some of the missed out films. Updated the list accordingly.

Amused to see there are 70+ films with English titles with songs of Geeta ji.
I still feel we maybe missing some.

No its a released film.
A search on net revealed that it was a movie starring Chandrashekhar, Shakeela, Poornima and Daljeet. According to a second site the movie also had Pradeep Kumar, Vyjyanthimala, Shashikala, Helen, Om Prakash, Parveen Paul and a host of other actors as part of it.
It was directed by Bhagwan and was produced by Mukul Pictures.
According to that article the movie had music by MD Jai Ram (He's a new MD to me. Perhaps members know more about him).
Rajneesh ji has mentioned about one song in one of his posts as having S Balbir as MD so perhaps it had more than one MDs:-
o my dear bolo na - Uma Devi Tuntun & S Balbir - Passing Show (1956) - M. L. Khanna - S Balbir

A search on earthmusic reveals it has other Geeta songs as well: http://www.earthmusic.net/hindi-film-songs...ie=passing+show
Anybody having the other songs of the movie than Bachna Zara.

Yes HB, I did get the song, but did not update this post here.

Regards
Parag

I am not sure if there is a song by Geeta ji in this film.

Mr Qartoon M.A. has a geeta-asha duet, "Dil Tera Deewana O Mastani Bulbul .. tum kitna beautiful haaye". Infact this is the last recorded Geeta song for O.P. Nayyar.

A kata-phata version of the song can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3GNXecdwdQ

I'll upload the song if you want.
I got it from lakshmi ji's upload sometime back. I rate it as one of top 3 geeta-asha duets.

Oops..I am sorry, how could I forget this song. I do remember and have this song but mistook it for "Jhuki jhuki pyar ki nazar" from Johny Walker. Yes, this is the swan song of Geeta ji for OP. Still "Mera naam çhin chin choo" is considered the "solo" swan song of hers for OP.

BTW, we have come up with a very comprehensive list. Thanks to all the contributors.

Regards
Parag

Now thats a personal opinion. I consider Baaz songs as her swan best songs for O.P. Nayyar!
Yes, contributors have got together a fantastic list. I hadn't thought there maybe 70+ such movies.

Baaz songs as swan songs for OPN?? Baaz is just the second GD-OPN association!

Any song can be swan song Parag! The order is immaterial.
The Baaz songs are the best she has rendered for him as far as I am concerned.

Meaning of swan song From English-Hindi Freedict Dictionary [fd-eng-hin]:

swansong <N.>

1. अतिम कति
"This is my swansong."

Note that it is atim kriti - that is best one - advitiya could be another meaning. last one.

Well all these days, I was thinking that swan-song is the last song. This is what wikipedia has to say:

By extension, swan song has become an idiom referring to a final theatrical or dramatic appearance, or any final work or accomplishment. It generally carries the connotation that the performer is aware that this is the last performance of his or her lifetime, and is expending everything in one magnificent final effort.

So far I have been reading that 3 songs from Anubhav were swan songs of Geeta ji. So I was thinking that swan song refers to the last (not necessarily the best).

The dictionary meaning you have provided also probably says the same thing : Antim Kriti (The last piece of work)

Regards
Parag

Hmm, I got the meaning wrong then! I wonder how swans of all birds got linked to this! Swans are so beautiful, white and perfect making me think that the best song was perfect and the swan song!
Point accepted. My idioms need revising soon.

No worries dear.

I am glad we have compiled a comprehensive list of over 70 films with English titles having songs of Geeta ji so far.

I must appreciate you for giving new life to Geeta Dutt forum on HF for coming up with innovative and creative ideas.

Best Regards
Parag

We also forgot Captain Kishore

can 'sheikh chilli' count?

Prakash ji

I think Sheikh Chilli is a name of a person. Most likely does not fit our theme.

Best Regards
Parag

you're right - i think it's the name of a person too.

found another one - 'black tiger'

Thanks Prakash ji. The updated list is here

is there a movie called Faraar Police(1957)

Prof ji's site uploaded a song recently as a duet with hemant kumar, Log Peete Hain Ladkhadaate Hain. Geeta portion seems to be same as Chale Hum Kahaan from Police(1958). Any ideas anyone?

Here's link to that song:-

Looks like this is the case of 2 songs combined together. "Log peete hain" from the film Faraar (1957) and "Chale hum kahan" from the film Police (1958).

I don't think there is any film titled Faraar Police.

That is what my opinion too was from the face of it.

both faraar and police good music tracks by hemant
And as Parag Ji mentioned, they are separate movies

Thanks to all for their inputs. The list of all the film names found so far has been updated here:

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?s=&a...st&p=589866

Added Circus Queen 1959 to the list. It has a reused song of Geeta ji with Rafi sahab Hum Tumse Poochte Hain.
