Baap Bahu Aur Beta (1969)

I don't have a single song from this album. I am requesting members to share songs from this album if they can. Thank you very much.

Satyakam (1969)

Here are the songs from this album...

Dagabaaz (1970)

Azmi Saab penned lyrics for only one song in this album. Rest of them were written by B.D. Mishra. I am uploading these songs, all thanks to the courtesy of the Forum members...

Hamara Adhikar (1970)

Here are the songs from this film, all contributed by our members Deepakji and G. Nabeeji. My many thanks to both of them...

Heer Ranjha (1970)

This romantic tragedy was based on the work of Waris Shah written in 1766. It was a book of verses that was drenched with such a passion and has the insatiable romantic fervor as its main appeal. The story apparently was based on a true account of 16th century lovers and also part of Shah’s own love for a woman. The tragedy has been told many times over and again by several different authors (Ahmed Gujjar, D.D. Arora, and Mukbaz to name a few) but Shah’s work remains as an unsurpassed landmark of lyrical work and poetic intensity that is a testimonial of his literary achievement. Despite the critics categorizing it as a romantic tragedy or a mythical allegory or as an exercise in conventional morality it stood tall the test of time as a work of affectingly deep pathos of high romance.

This fabled story of the star crossed lovers has been a fascinating subject with film makers and cinegoers. It was made into a movie in 1929, 1931, and 1948, all before the partition. Later versions include those made in 1970 and 1992. It was also made in Punjabi in 2009. It was made at least once in Pakistan, in 1970. Some of these films worked and while others only fared average. But this 1970 version of Chetan Anand’s “Heer Ranjha” is unique in the sense that the entire film is done as a verse reflecting the original work of Shah. The film had no dialogues. All the verses and the songs in the film were written by the incomparable Kaifi Azmi. Azmi Saab’s verses replace the contrast between the tones, modulations, rhythms, and gestures of spoken words. Like Shah’s immortal work, this work by Azmi Saab and the experiment by Anandji have distinguished themselves as magnificent professional achievements.

I am uploading songs from this film in back-to-back two posts from an original soundtrack album. The second post also contains several specials. Now for a description of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves …

Concluding Songs from "Heer Ranjha (1970)"...

I am uploading in this post rest of the songs from this beautiful album and several specials. These include an audio clip from the album "Legends: Madan Mohan - The Instinctive Genius (CD 4)" with an introduction by Madan Mahanji. The other one is another audio clip with Maana Dey's introduction. It is from the album "Legends: Mohd. Rafi - The Virtuoso (CD5)". Finally, the third special is a version song by Anuradha Paudwal, "Do Dil Toote". This one is taken from the album "A Tribute to Madan Mohan".

Here are these specials and rest of the songs...

Maa Ka Aanchal (1970)

Here is another film with the combination of Azmi Saab and Mohanji. Their combination culminated in some great albums. This one is another beauty from them.

It appears like I may be missing the song shown in red italics in the table below. If indeed this is the case, and if you have the song, please kindly share it with rest of us. Thank you.

Now the songs form this another Lata-less album from Madan Mohanji...

Maharaja (1970)

Saat Phere (1970)

I have only two songs from this album that I am uploading here. Both of these are by the courtesy of the Forum members. Unfortunately quality of these songs in not that great. But they are worth the gold because Rafi Saab sang both of them. I am requesting members to share these and the rest of the missing songs, shown in red italics in the table below, if they can. Thank you.

Here are the two songs I have...

Do Boond Pani (1971)

Jaidevji composed music for only a few films. But he left an indelible mark on everything he did. His music carried the torch lit by the great Burmanda for whom he was an assistant for a long time. This film, directed by the great K.A. Abbas, shows why Jaidevji was one of our great composers. Look who were some of his singers. Apart from Asha and Mukesh the other singers include Noor Jehan (not Madam, the Great Lady), Ambar Kumar, Shrikant Moghe, Lakshmi Shankar, Minoo Purshottam, and Parveen Sultana. The net result is great songs that sound refreshingly fresh in these unfamiliar voices.

Here is the caressingly lilting freshness for you...

Parwana (1971)

Amitabh for the first time in his professional career played a negative role as an obsessed lover who will go to any lengths, even to kill, in this film. Later he played a role of a villain in “Gehri Chaal” in 1973 and followed it with a few others. Azmi Saab wrote several good songs for this film tuned by Madan Mohanji. Even though most songs are very good, my favorite is Kishoreda’s stirring solo, “Simti Si”. Simply beautiful.

I am uploading these songs from an original soundtrack album in two back-to-back posts below. Here are the songs in the first post...
