(Mumtaz) Pyar Diwana (1972)

There are several interesting facts about this film. This was Kishore Kumar's last turn as a hero in a film. It was in production for several years before it finally saw daylight in 1972. His name doesn't appear in the titles where the stars' names appear. I wonder whether this was done at Kishoreda's request or was there something else going on here. However Kishoreda's name does appear in the list of playback singers. Incidentally there is a solo in this film by Rafi Saab that was used as a playback for Kishore. Even though his name is not widely recognized, music director for this film, Lala Sattar, did give music to a handful of movies.

Here are the songs from this film...

(Mala) Dil Tujhko Diya (1987)

The interesting thing about this album is that Rajesh Roshan not only composed its music but also wrote lyrics for all the songs...

(Asha) Hum Hindustani (1960)

Usha Khanna followed her stunning debut of "Dil Deke Dekho" in 1959 with this beautiful album. If there were any doubts whether the success of "Dil Deke Dekho" was just a flash in the pan, this movie completely erased them. Here Khanna shows that she can be versatile in handling different singers. Whereas "Dil Deke Dekho" was all Asha and Rafi Saab, in this movie she also has Lata and Mukesh sing. She also joined the fray in a duet with Geetaji. The standout songs from this album are both solos by Mukhjeshji, "Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein" and "Raat Nikhri Huyi", and his duet with Asha, "Neeli Neeli Ghata".

My friend Parag Sankla, one of the distinguished members of our Forum, wrote last time these songs were uploaded that the lyricist K. Manohar’s (see Post 2) full name is Manohar Lal Khanna. He was father of Usha Khanna, the music composer of this film. Per Parag, Mr. Khanna used various names in the films he worked in. These were K. Manohar (in this film), M.L. Khanna, or simply Manohar, and sometimes as Javed Anwar. Parag went on to add that in the late forties and early fifties Khannaji worked as a lyricist for an outfit called Nargis Films Arts. The film “Darogaji (1949)” was one of the films released under this banner. Mr. Khanna wrote lyrics for 12 songs of that film which had music composed by Bulo C. Rani. Geetaji sang all 12 songs.

I am uploading these songs from an original soundtrack album in two back-to-back posts on request. Here is the first set of songs ...
