“Do Dil” (1965) is a movie starring Vishwajeet and Rajshree. Just as Shammi Kapoor movies had wonderful music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, Vishwajeet movies tended to have great music by Hemant Kumar. Of course the singing voices remained the same.

Lata was Madan Mohan’s female singer of choice, but it does not mean that he has not used other female singers in his songs. Curiously enough, Madan Mohan did not use the voice of Lata in the movie called “Bombay Race Course” (1965). The female singers in this movie were Asha Bhonsle and Suman Kalyanpur.

Here is a Helen song with a difference.In this song, Helen is not performing a cabarat or even a mujra. Rather she is emoting like a “normal” actress. Yes, Helen had a big enough role in this movie called “Kahin Din Kahin Raat” (1968).

I have listened to the audio of this song many a times, and this song never fails to cheer me up. This is indeed a “feel good” song.
This song is from the movie “Jeene Ki Raah”(1969) and seeing that the title figues in the lyrics, the son can be called the title song as well as the theme song of this movie as well. This song is a get together song on the occasion of silver jubilee of a mill, where Jeetendra sings this song in the gathering. Yes this song wears so many hats !

This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Music director Ajit Merchant is better known for his contributions to the Gujarati cinema and to the theatre world in Bombay. He did venture into the Hindi film world also, albeit his contribution is limited to less than 10 movies. Saperaa (1961) is one of the movies that Ajit Merchant composed music for. I have already discussed a wonderful Manna Dey solo from this movie, some days back. Here is another beautiful gem of a song from the same movie. This is a duet, that is rendered so lovingly by Manna Dey and Suman Kalyanpur. The lyrics are by Indeewar. The lead roles in this movie are played by Jyoti and Ranjan. Other actors in the film are Tiwari, Jeevnkala, Sunder, Uma Dutt, Neena, Rajan Kapoor etc.
