Today’s lovely song is in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur and it is from the movie ‘Coffee House-1957’.
‘Coffee House-1957’ was passed by the Censor Board on 26.03.1957. This movie was directed by Hari Walia who was also the producer of this movie, for Neeti Art Productions, Bombay. The cast of this movie had Geeta Bali, Shammi Kapoor, Vijaylakshmi, Chanchal, Jeevan, Kumud Tripathi, Pal Sharma, Rajan Kapoor, Bhagwan, Helen, and others.
It has been mentioned in a previous post on the blog that the prints of this movie were lost. I guess that there is very less information available about this movie and its songs. Obviously no videos of this movie are available.
‘Coffee House-1957’ has eight songs in it. Prem Dhawan penned six songs. Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri wrote one song each. Music for this movie was composed by Roshan.
The singers for this movie are Asha Bhonsle, Geeta Dutt and Suman Kalyanpur which means all the songs in this movie were sung by female singers. Not only that, these songs are all female solo songs. One of these songs has female chorus as well.
The song unde discussion is that song which has female chorus accompanying the main singer viz. Suman Kalyanpur.
This is the only song in this movie in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur. Other songs are sung by Asha Bhonsle (four songs) and Geeta Dutt(three songs).
Three songs from this movie have been covered on the blog so far. Today we are going to listen to the fourth song from this movie ‘Coffee House-1957’. Prem Dhawan is the lyricist and music is composed by Roshan.
Let us now listen to this joyous dance song.

(Debutant Movie – Sikkaa-1976)
Today I am presenting a lesser heard or never heard Qawwaalee song from the movie ‘Sikkaa-1976’. I do not remember to have discussed or heard about this title during my growing up years in the seventies. I became aware of this movie title through Geet Kosh Volume-V (1971-1980). It seems that this movie ‘Sikkaa’ was an obscure movie of its time, as the list of the songs of this movie didn’t appear familiar to me. But what piqued my interest is the title of this song and it being mentioned as a ‘qawwaalee’ song.
“Sikkaa-1976” was directed by Dilip Bose for ‘Mona Movies, Bombay’. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 30.12.1976. It had Anil Dhawan, Ambika Johar, Krishan Dhawan, Satyen Kappu, Helen, Aashu, Bhushan Tiwari, Mohan Choti, Rajan Haksar, Kalpana Shah, Agha, Dalda, Jugnu, Bholanath, Ratan Gaurang, Satish Khanna, Krishna Khanna, Pradeep Suri, Child artiste Dharmender and others. Child artistes Lovely, Kittu, and Soni make their debut in this movie and Nana Palsikar, Keshto Mukherjee and Anjana Mumtaz had special appearances in this movie.

In this post I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Taajposhi-1957’. This movie had made its debut on the blog long back on 03.01.2014. No songs from this movie were posted on this blog thereafter; the non-availability of these songs on internet might have been the reason behind this. However, now I noticed that some songs from this movie (if not all) are available on internet. And when I looked for this song which has the voice of Talat Mahmood, and found that it is available, I am taking this opportunity to present it here.
This song is a duet song in the voices of Asha Bhonsle and Talat Mahmood.

(Debutant Movie- Batohi-1949)
I was specifically looking for a devotional song. While going through the Geet Kosh Volume –II (1941-1950), I come across this pleasant surprise which I am presenting here today.
I had come across this title ‘Batohi-बटोही’ in Geet Kosh (1941-1950) in the past under the list of Un-Released movies. (Those days the songs from this movie were not available on internet ).
Searching for word ‘‘Batohi-बटोही’ on this blog yields only one result. This word appears only in the famous song ‘kaun disaa mein leke chalaa re batohiyaa’ from “Nadiya Ke Paar”(1982)
Coming to the movie ‘Batohi-1949’, very less information is available about it in the Geet Kosh. The name of the director for this movie is not given. However some sources on internet mention the name of the director as Kumar Menon. He directed this movie for T.K. Screen Classics. The cast of this movie had Bharat Bhooshan, Indu Pal, Krishna Murari, Beena Pal, Kesari, Shivraj, Sapru and others.
