Erum ji,

Just give the URL. No worries..I saw the first clip.



Cheers
Parag

Thanks, Paragji...but how can I embed the video here?

Erum ji,

We just hear the first line of the song "Tere liye aaya hain leke koi dil". Is the complete song available?

Also, is there another clip or just one?

Many thanks

Cheers
Parag

Arre..don't worry. The link to the clip is enough for fans of Geeta ji. Let's not worry about these small technicalities. This small clip of one of the rarest song made my day!

Bahut dhanyawaad!

Parag

Don't worry....'ll share the full video! Is there a way to upload it on www.geetadutt.com ? What happened to my last mail (reply by pm or mail)?

Will email you now Erum ji.

Best Regards
Parag

Done at last!!!!!!

Congrats. Lovely song this one! I think filmed on Helen, right ?

Please check your mailbox. (Once again sorry for replying late)

Best Regards
Parag

Yes, it is picturised on HELEN & UTTAM KUMAR! The song is composed by SUDHIN DASGUPTA for bangla film, GALI THEKE RAJPATH!

Great discovery. I already knew of her Punjabish song in Hindi movie and Bengali song in English movie. This one was another interesting revelation.

English movie? Bangla song ?

Tell us more please.

Thanks
Parag

Her bangla song Jhiri Jhiri Choyetali was featured in English movie The Namesake in 2007.

I just saw this thread now, I didn't realise this was such a rare song. I had the VCD with me, and had ripped the audio for this song a long while back. But the song and the film have multiple skips and is in very poor quality, so please download it only if you are desperate. I am also waiting for Erum's upload of the better version.

Lovely upload FP.



I believe there is one more Hindi song of Geeta ji in this film. Am I right?

Best Regards
Parag

That describes me perfectly!



Cheers
Parag

I know what you mean.

But I just skipped through the film again and no, there are no more Hindi songs in my version of the film. There are just two more songs, one a chorus led by Manna Dey and the other a fantastic solo by Asha B., both Bangla. It's entirely possible that the company clipped out songs to fit the movie within time limits, isn't it?

Sorry FP, I was thinking that there is a duet of Geeta ji and Manna ji in this film. But I checked Mahesh's listing of duets and the song is

1960-dui bechara-karo na phere gali ke mere,bano na bhole ji-bhupen hazarika

So we don't know if there was another song of Geeta ji in this film.

Best Regards
Parag

Thanks for this information, I was not aware about it. These small pieces of information will be useful for the "Trivia" section of our site www.geetadutt.com

Parag

You are most welcome Parag.

Thats debatable. She's talking about me

hey bhagwaan! kyaa zamaanaa aa gayaa hai! I think this contest is a tie.

Of course. Its a tie. I was just having fun with Parag.

Great upload Erum ji and FP. What a wonderful song. You made not only my day but my entire weekend! A wonderful melody definitely.

I know I am being greedy but does anybody have this song?

frangipaniji,
please upload other songs from the film in bengali section.i have been hearing a lot about sudhin dasgupta on various forums.would like to hear more of his compositions.
thanks in advance,
mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
Do call me Frangipani, after all, it's only an id.

The other two songs from gali theke rajpath are here, I will upload some more in that thread soon. I hope you like those.

Mahesh,

We have made some nice short-forms for these guys who are taking nick-names. So we have FP (Frangipani) and HB (Hildebrand) so far. And sometimes we refer Swarapriya ji by SP.



Cheers
Parag

And HT Bro!

Yes of course, HT bhai is there! He is pretty busy these days and not seen on Geeta ji's forum for quite some time...


HT bhai.....where are you????




Cheers
Parag

Seconding the request for this rare duet of Manna da and Geeta ji.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards
Parag

Here's my attempt at the lyrics of the song from Gali Theke Rajpath:-

(Tere Liye Aaya Hai Leke koi dil
Le Le nazarana oh bhole qaatil)2
tere liye aaya

Kitne haseen hain yeh palkon ke saaye
dekh tujhe chede hain palkon ke saye
dekh tujhe koi isharon se bulaaye
(rahein na pheeki baharein zindagi ki
aa tujhko khushi ki dikha doon manzil)2

tere liye ...

Husn ke mele mein abhi albele
woh dil hi nahi hai jo dil se na khele(?)
(kehti hain fasana nigahe-mastana
mujhe to samjhana bada hai mushkil)2

tere liye...

(Jalwe dikha ke yun nazren bachana
kar ke bahana kisi ko tarsana )2
(chhod yeh adayen jo dil ko jalayen
aa mil ke banayen suhaani mehfil)2

tere liye ...

FP
Do tell a bit about the setting of the song in the movie. Was there any specific reason for the song to be in Hindi? (example Helen shown to be from Bombay or something). This appears to be her item song in the movie and written in hindi to make her comfortable in dancing.

Talking of item songs, Do you have the video of Ei Mayabi Tithi? I would love to watch its video. I would never have thought of a club song in Bengali movies as well! (Are there any others in the genre by Geeta ji in Bengali?)

Thanks, Hildebrand for the lyrics!

You are most welcome Erum ji. Its such a haunting melody found by you and FP I couldn't resist writing the lyrics down. Due to skips a couple of words maybe out of place though.

Yes FP, I am also curious about the song situation.. Please tell us!

Regards
Parag

Ummm, yes... it could be called an item song, I guess. The protagonist Raja (Uttam Kumar) is a pickpocket and involved with a gang of petty criminals, and this song is picturised in their 'den' (but not anything like the 70s masala movie den, no way!). Helen's character is from Bombay, but there's no mention of her anywhere else. She looks very young and pretty. Let me figure out how to rip parts of video from VCDs and I will upload the song on an external server.

I am not very sure about 'ei mayabi tithi'... I don't remember watching the film, but I will ask around and find out more. Give me a few days.

That puts everything in perspective. Thanks FP. She had to look very young and pretty. She must have been 20 or lesser. (Her DOB is October 21, 1939!).
There is no hurry for the videos. Take your time. There is no urgency. DO NOT forget to take backup of video before you rip it.

Thanks for this information FP. We will wait for the videos and please do remember to take a back-up before you attempt to rip any VCD.

Thanks in advance

Warmest Regards
Parag

Frangipaniji thanks very much for sharing this rare song!

Thanks Ittefaq ji for reviving this thread.

Many thanks to Erum ji and FP for this beautiful song. IMHO, this song is the find of the year 2009 for the fans of Geeta ji.

Regards
Parag

Yes its certainly find of the year!

And here is the full version video:

Wah wah wah wah!

Will d/l it once I reach home.

Cheers
Parag

Looks like the video source is very old. The lip movements of the song are unfortunately not matching. Yet, a very lovely song. Many thanks again Erum ji

Warmest Regards
Parag

Can some one extract the audio from this file please?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards
Parag

The video source appears to be the same one as what FP ripped to me.

Here is the extracted audio. Since the video was old, there are many skips/jumps in the audio.
