Kya ghazal yaad dilaayi, thanks Noorie. A favorite of mine from a very young age. Brilliant lyrics.

Noorie,

Thanks for the lyrics. Your post is one more way to remind us some of these very nice songs.
According to Earth Music, 'tum itna jo muskurado' song is composed by Jagjit Singh himself; whereas, all other songs from this movie are composed by Kuldeep Singh. Is it true?

Hari Ram

I believe Arth was by Jagjit, but Saath Saath was by Kuldeep. confirmation is welcome. It's a combo CD.
Still trying to figure out why or how T-series re-issued a HMV cd or was it vice versa?

Subir's sight cites different credits though.......

Deewani you're right, Arth is indeed by Jagjit Singh. Even the style of the composition "Tum Itna Joh" is typical Jagjit Singhesque.

The film too is almost a classic, Mahesh Bhatt did a fine job, the actors too, especially Shabana Aazmi and Smita Patil.

Saath Saath's music was scored by Kuldeep Singh. Another good movie, with Farroque Sheikh and Deepti Naval as the lead pair.

Thanks to both Deewani and Noorie for clarifying Jagjit Sigh as the MD for Arth.

Hari Ram

Excllent music by Jagjit ji in Arth. I specially like the other two songs, " Juki Juki si nazar " and " Koi yeh kaise ". Every time I watch the movie I wish there were more songs. I think the lyrics were by Kafi Azmi.

Aaaah one of my favorite songs ! Jagjit Singh at his best

I think I figured it out. My sister had an audio cassette of Arth and Saath-Saath. It was in HMV. My freind had a CD in T series which was a COVER version of those two movies. And most of you may not agree with my next line.

The singer on the T series CD has sung is better than the other one. I am still trying to get hold of that CD. That CD is one of my reasons for supporting cover versions.
