“Samjhauta” was a movie that has been forgotten by now. And it is unfortunate that its songs have been forgotten too.

There is little doubt that this movie “Phir Wohi Dil Laaya hoon” is known mainly for its music. I have already posted a song from this movie. But this was a musical extravaganza so I cannot help but post more songs from this movie. O P Nayyar, who ruled the roost in 1950s as a music director proved with this movie that he was capable of churning out good music in 1960s too.

Shammi Kapoor on the screen, Rafi as the playback singer, O P Nayyar as the music director. This deadly composition came together for “Kashmir ki kali” and the result was an all time great musical extravaganza.

Dil jo na kah saka

I have posted many songs of Rafi in this blog, and in each song I have raved about his voice. In fact one cannot help but remark on his voice quality whatever the song. In every song, he appered to give his very best.
