(Javed Akhtar)...Aur Pyar Ho Gaya (1997)

This film was loosely based on the 1994 English film “Only You”. That romantic comedy starred Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey in the leads. The film was a flop. The Hindi film starred Aishwarya Rai and Bobby Deol. It was Rai’s first Hindi film. The Hindi film was a dismal failure.

One of the highlights of the Hindi film was its music by the late great Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. With many of them and most of longer duration the songs do not live up to the reputation of Khan Saab. However couple of songs are worth mentioning. These include “Koi Jaane” where Ustadji is one of the singers. With his trademark voice the song has some of the elements in it that made Khan Saab a legend. Another song is the solo by Udit, “Sitaaron Si”. Please note that the beginning of the song “Zindagi” is part of the Title Music that is separately listed here.

I am uploading these and other songs in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

Concluding Songs from "...Aur Pyar Ho Gaya (1997)"...

Here are the rest of the songs from this album...

(Majrooh) Night Club (1958)

Comedian actor Gope passed away before this movie was completed. This is a poorly made film that wasted talents of Kamini Kaushal and Ashok Kumar. Madan Mohan Saab’s music calls for several western numbers as most of the songs were picturized in a night club. May be because of this atmosphere in the movie, Mohan Saab’s favorite Lataji is missing. Asha comes through by sharing bulk of the numbers.

There are a couple of good songs in this film. The song by Geetaji, “Kahaan Phir Hum”, and Ashaji’s “Dil Le Ke” are worth mentioning. Unfortunately the quality of the latter song is not that crisp. For this reason, I am uploading it at a lower bit rate.

(Shailendra) Kath Putli (1957)

Amiya Chakrabarty was on a roll with several commercial and critical successes in a row when he decided to make this movie. Some of his previous efforts included films like “Daag (1952)”, “Patita (1953)”, “Seema (1955)”, and “Dekh Kabira Roya (1957)”. This film was his second one in 1957. Unfortunately before the movie was competed Chakrabartyji passed away. Nitin Bose took over and completed the film.

Besides directing the film, Chakrabarty wrote its story, screenplay, and co-produced the film as well. The movie had a hodgepodge of a storyline with generous amount lifted from George Bernard Shaw’s play “Pygmalion” (made into a movie many times, including “My Fair Lady”). Even though it was difficult to watch over several stretches, thanks to great music by SJ and Vyjayanti Mala’s dances and performance, the movie at least was partly enjoyable. Balraj Sahni’s performance was as expected but the major disappointment was that of Jawahar Kaul. This man simply could not act. The movie was a hit.

Concluding Songs from "Kath Putli (1957)"...

Here are the rest of the songs from this fine album...

(Shakeel) Gehra Daag (1963)

This film was made by O.P. Ralhan, who was the brother-in-law of Rajendra Kumar. This film was his maiden venture as a producer. Previously he directed the Shammi Kapoor-starrer “Mujrim” in 1958. Even though by today’s standards the movie looks contrived it was a moderate success at the box-office. Later Ralhan directed “Phool aur Patthar (1960)” that catapulted a struggling Dharmendra to stardom. He also introduced Zeenat Aman and Kabir Bedi in “Hulchul” a 1971 film. Ralhan also acted in few films.

The team of music director Ravi and lyricist Shakeel were back once again after their four previous collaborations were successful. These included “Chaudhvin ka Chand (1960)”, “Ghunghat (1960)”, “Gharana (1961)” and “Wanted (1961)”. A couple of songs from this film became chart busters. These include the duet “Tumhen Paa Ke” and Asha’s soul stirring solo “Kaise Kahoon”. My favorite from this album is this Ashaji’s song. She changed her singing style of buoyancy to lift the song to new heights. I am uploading these and other songs and music clips from the film in two back-to-back posts.

The first post contains all the songs from the film. The second post contains several extended version songs. Even though quality of these songs can be considered adequate, I decided to grade them lower and uploading them at a lower bit rate.

Here are the songs in the first post…
