Shair Aur Sargam

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Oomar Qaid (1961)

There are several good songs in this routine crime drama. These include all three duets and the solo by Mukeshji. Here are these and the rest of the songs from this film…

Thank you very much for the song, Soumik. Cheers.

(Majrooh) Laagi Naahin Chhute Ram (1963)

This Bhojpuri film, even though I do not know the language itself, it is not hard to understand, has several good songs in it. Apart from all three duets, my favorites are the two songs by Suman Kalyanpur. Here are these and the rest of the songs from this film in two back-to-back posts…

(Rajinder Krishan) Duniya Jhukti Hai (1960)

There are several fine songs in this familiar drama. The standouts are “Gumsum”, “Jo Bijiliyon”, “Kuchh Iss”, and Hemantda’s version of “Phoolon Se”. I am uploading these and other songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

(Anand Bakshi) Bachpan (1970)

This film was produced and directed by K.P. Atma who also wrote its story. He directed many movies in Telugu. His two earlier successes in Hindi include “Chhota Bhai (1966)” and “Raja aur Runk (1968)”. But this movie is a major let down. It has a weak and unconvincing story and does not leave any surprises as one can easily guess what happens next. Only its music was slightly above average.

Rafi Saab’s song “Aaya Re” appears five times in the film. The first one and the fifth one are identical. Therefore I am not uploading the fifth one. The first one is also part of the fourth one. I am uploading these four parts and others in two back-to-back posts.

Here are the songs in the first post…

(Hasrat Jaipuri) Roop ki Rani Choron ka Raja (1961)

This movie unfolds as a number of people travel on a ship on a pilgrimage. A cross-section of the people represent every walk in the life, good and bad, honest and thieves, helpful and greedy, spinsters and widows, and others. An interesting premise but the director did not take full advantage of the material at hand. Shankar & Jaikishan’s several good songs go waste on the film.

S&J were assisted by Dattaram and Sebastian, their usual assistant music directors. Subir Sen is one of the playback singers but was not credited. Interestingly, the song “Suno Bhaai” has two different versions. The one in the movie (DVD) is different than the one in CD. The DVD song has “Paa Li Hai” whereas the CD song “Pee Li Hai”. Otherwise both songs are identical. I am uploading both of them here. The quality of the CD song is far superior to the one of the DVD’s even though I am uploading both of them at 192 kbps.

I am uploading these and the rest of the songs and a couple of music clips in two back-to-back posts.

(Majrooh) Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon (1963) - Songs

Here is one of the best scores by OP. All nine songs from this film were chart busters. It is easy to see why. They all are absolutely mellifluous. They charm you with reverberations generated by the choice use of rhythmic echoes. Even though the movie was a retread of Nasir Hussain Saab’s earlier movies, the music lifts the film from the run of the mill film to a likeable one. Asha (Bhosle) and Rafi Saab were at the top of the game and contribute mightily to the success of the film.

I have a couple of favorites in this film. These are Rafi Saab’s “Aanchal Mein” and the duet “Zulf Ki”. They both are very rich in lyrics and stir your emotions and affect deeply. Interestingly, for some reason the song “Zulf Ki” was deleted from the final film. But a shorter version of the song is available on many CDs. The full version is available in some videos. This song I am uploading in its entirety with all of the dialogues interspersed. I am uploading a version with the dialogues and applauses stripped. I enjoy this latter version as the dialogues serve no purpose in the song.

I am uploading these and the rest of the songs, few specials, and some instrumentals in four back-to-back posts. The first two posts contain songs from the film. The third post contains specials. Finally, the fourth post contains a few instrumentals of the songs from the film.
