here is a rare song from vasant desai's second film-aankh ki sharam[1943][courtesy -hf].singer is meenakshi and lyrics are by pt. indra.here is the song-aankh milte hi mohabbat ho gayi -@192kbps/3.08 min.

s mahesh

Thanks thanks thanks sooo much for this album ... was looking for this for a long long time.



My fav is Dar Laage Garje Badariya .... fantastic song based on Raag Malhar ... I wish this superb song would have been longer.

(on a similar note..I once heard the above song by Ms.Shampa Kundu I think ... in Sa Re Ga Ma ... and she sang it pretty well .. without music .. and she was also here at a concert in Toronto last year .... anyways...)

Another thing I notice is that the 10th song (Valmiki Ki Mahakavya....Katha Sunate Hain) is pretty similar (lyrically, musically) to the same situational song in the 1943 film (Bharat Ki Ek Sannaari Ki Hum Katha Sunate Hain) ... even the dialogues before the songs are similar...and both also in 2 parts. Very cool - thanks again for these songs.

saniji,
you are most welcome.i love both the lataji solos-dar laage and rain bhai.

Devji

Thanks once more for the latest uploads S.Mahesh Jee,
Faizel.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the wonderful songs you have provided. Can I ask for some information? The following words of a song are going around in my head for the last 20-30 years. I am fairly sure that it is from a Vasant Desai composition and that it was sung by Rafi, Asha and a chorus. Can you tell me the name of the song and the movie it is from? Thank you in advance. The words are "Hoi Rang Rang Kee Chunree Pyaaree Yeh Phulwaaree Masth Hawaa Mein Udaanaa Udaanaa"

yadavgiriji,
the song is from jhanak jhanak payal baje[1955],but no record was released and the song is present only on soundtrack.i have two versions and i am uploading both of them.the songs are @128kbps and the duration is 3.20 and 1.54 respectively.

Thanks Mahesh

any chance of uploading on any other download such as rapidshare etc

can you please download on any file share host like mega upload etc
thanks khanny

Mahesh,

Thank you for this wonderful thread and the many many rare uploads that you have made. I agree with you, Vasant Desai needs a separate sub-forum. And the Ram Rajya album is gorgeous. What lovely duets apart from the solos. Just heard them.

Mahesh bhai,

Thanks for the Sheesh Mahal album.
For the aayi hai deewaali song several sources list Geeta Dutt as the 2nd singer. Would you please confirm the singers for this song please?

Hari Ram

Rajnish,

In my hurry to download I nearly forgot to thank you for that very early VD album, Shakuntala.

BEAUTIFUL UPLOAD.

Thanks a lot Mahesh Jee,

Kamala Mohanty

S.Mahesh and Erum Hashmi,
Thank You, my friends

Thank you maheshjI. Probably you should request admin to move this thread to Vasant desai forum. I just saw a new forum has been created.

Hari bhai, even I had this information. But Mahesh corrected saying that its only Pushpa Hans and Shamshad Bebhum ji in this song.

Regards
Parag

The leading voices, to my knowledge, are of Geeta and Shamshad only. Pushpa Hans might have figured in the chorus, it was common those days even for prominent singers to lend voices in the sathi part. The other song, hum kheton ke maharaj... was sung by Geeta+Pushpa+Rafi.

--Balaji

erumji,
thanks for the correction.i think the 3.20 is the record version and 1.54 is the film version .

hariramji,parag and balaji,
the singers are shamshad begum and pushpa hans for this song.the song was picturised on naseem and pushpa hans,while shamshad sang for naseem,pushpa hans sang for herself.
all the confusion was created by hfgk erroneously mentioning the singers as geeta and shamshad.although the corrigenda of hfgk noticed the error and mentions the correct singers;very few people have noticed it.
regards,
s mahesh

Mahesh bhai,

Thanks for verification and posting details of this song.
In future, if doubts emerge about the singers in this song, members can always refer to this post.
