I have mentioned it in the past that Ganesh was a music director who deserved much better than what he achieved in Bollywood. He was just as talented if not more than Pyarelal (of Laxmikant Pyarelal fame, who was his brother).

“Chacha Chaudhary” (1953), which was one of the earlier movies of Madan Mohan was interesting in the sense that he preferred Asha Bhonsle’s voice over Lata’s voice for female solo songs. Lata’s voice was used only for duets in this movie. Rajinder Krishan was the lyricist.

“Chacha Chawdhary” (1953) was one of the earlier movies of Madan Mohan as a music director.
This movie is interesting in the sense that Madan Mohan in this movie preferred Asha Bhonsle over Lata for singing female solos. All the female solos in this movie have been sung by Asha Bhonsle. Lata has only figured in duets.

“Gehra Daagh” was a movie of 1963. I was not aware about this movie till recently ( that is till yesterday).
This movie had Rajendra Kumar and Mala Sinha in lead roles.
Just because I was not aware of this movie does not mean this movie has unknown songs. Take this song from this movie. This song “tumhe paake hamne jahaan paa liyaa hai” is a duet sung by Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. I am sure that I have listened to this song many a times in the past, though I was not paying much attention on those occasions.
