In this post I am again presenting a lesser heard song which may well be considered a rare song. This song is in the voice of Kishore Kumar. The movie is ‘Raani Aur Jaani-1973’. This seems to be a very obscure movie of its time. Though this movie made its debut on the blog long back in the year 2009 the movie still remains un-Yippeeee’ed’ on the blog.

“Raani Aur Jaani-1973” was directed by K.S.R. Dass for ‘P.N.R. Pictures, Madras’.This stunt movie was passed by Censor Board on 08.11.1973. The cast of this movie had Anil Dhawan, Aruna Irani, Jyoti Lakshmi, Narendra Nath, Jagdeep, Sulochana, Ramaprabha, Brahm Bharadwaj, Shetty, Coca Cola, Shekhar, Swaraj, Prem Kumar, Master Ripal Sapru, Baby Dally, Baby Charulata and others. Bindu had a special appearance in this movie.

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.

(Celebrating Saawan-2025-11)

Nowadays I am presenting saawan songs from Hindi films that were so far missing from the blog. In this process I am coming across surprises on a daily basis. I am discovering some great compositions.

Everybody has his/her own preferences in music. As for me, I mostly enjoy those creations that I had not listened to earlier.

While looking for songs thst I had never heard before, I got to listen to these songs and I noted them down to be used for my write-ups. That is how I got to listen to these songs, by specifically searching for them, something that most normal music lovers are not likely to do.

In this post I am presenting a saawan song from a recent movie ‘Jhoothi Shaan-1991’. Though this movie is now thirty-five years old, by the standards of our blog we call it a recent movie. I have neither watched this movie earlier nor remember to have listened to any songs of this movie.

Ranjan Bose the director of this movie also wrote the story and screenplay of this movie. Askari Jafri and Sanjay Gulati were the producers for this movie.

Today 4th August 2025 is the ninety-sixth birth anniversary of versatile genius Kishore Kumar Ganguly ‘Khandwewala’ (as he would have liked him called to be). He was born on 4th August 1929 at Khandwa (now in Madhya Pradesh). Kishore Kumar left this world at the age of fifty-eight only on 13th October 1987.

Much has already been written about Kishore Kumar on this blog. Kishore Kumar’s film journey, his personal life, his songs, all that have been discussed in the blog by our senior contributors and team members from time to time.

Today’s saawan song is from the movie “Ghamand-1955”. What a wonderful ‘saawan composition this is. The composition soaked in the delight of saawan is by Gulshan Soofi, while the verses swinging in the spirit of saawan are by Naqsh Lyallpuri. Asha Bhonsle’s singing will take you far away from the world to the world of saawan.

“Ghamand-1955” was directed by Deepak Asha for Kirtan Pictures, Bombay. It was produced by Rijhumal Sewaram. It had Shyama, Sheela Ramani, Rajkumar, Kamal Mehra, Ramlal, Seeta Bose, Mohini, Manjeet Kumari, Shakeel, Thakur, Ishwar, Bajaj, Jaani, Murad and others. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 15.01.1955.

Today’s songs from an unknown or a less known film – Paisa-1941. This was the first film, having the first word ‘Paisa’ in its title. After this film, every decade, there were films having the word Paisa in its title. In 1956 – Paisa hi Paisa, in 1957- Paisa, in 1969- Paisa ya Pyar, in 1974- Paise ki Gudiya, in 1985- Paisa yeh Paisa, in 1992- Paise ke Peechhe, in 2001- Paisewali, and in 2004- Paisa Vasool. Obviously, the importance of Paisa had established itself in the film industry !

Film Paisa-1941 was one of those Bilingual films (Hindi and Marathi), which just came and went without making a noise. Even the Marathi version, it seems, had the same fate. I have not seen this film and actually came to know about this film only after I purchased the HFGK Volume-2.
