It is an interesting suggestion. Personally I am aware which songs from which movies are available and which are missing, but that is not shown in the list. I will keep this suggestion in mind.
As for the year 1951, we at present have 390 songs from 76 movies (there were 97 movies that were certified in that year). 26 of these movies have all their songs covered (YIPPEED in our terminology). So we need to add songs from remaining 50 movies. In addition, we need to introduce songs from the as yet unintroduced 21 movies.

Sudhir Joshi ji,
Since the early days of talkie films in India, and since the mid 1930s onwards, when it became more popular to publish the songs of the films on 78 rpm records, there has been a near regular practice that all songs were recorded twice. Once the songs were recorded for the 78 rpm record, and the second time they were recorded for actual picturization.
The reason for this is that the duration of the song on one side of the 78 rpm record, has to be always less than 3 and a half minutes. So every song that is played from a 78 rpm record is always of a duration of 3 minutes and few seconds.
Since there is no such limitation in the song to be picturized, it can be longer, and it can be with more time spent in preludes and interludes. Hence the music directors and film producers, generally got these two versions recorded separately.
Also there are numerous examples, in which we can clearly make out the following types of differences in the two versions,
– variations in prelude and interlude music
– leading couplets, which are not present in the 78 rpm version
– variations even in the instruments being played
– the alaap, sargam, and taal pieces, both in duration and in content
– variation in the words, and even full stanzas
– even cases that there is an additional singer, whose lines are heard only in the soundtrack version, but not in 78 rpm record version
There are numerous cases, where the starting line if the song as listed in Geet Kosh, is not to be found anywhere in the song that we hear. In most cases, that the starting line as listed in Geet Kosh is the leading couplets in the song, which would be present in the soundtrack version, but have been omitted from the 78 rpm record version, to save time. Now, in cases where the films themselves are not traceable, trying to track down these leading couplets is impossible. And hence this mystery of the different starting lines in the songs we hear (mostly being played from 78 rpm records) as compared to the Geet Kosh, may never be resolved.
The variations in longer duration songs is even more interesting; I am talking about items like qawwaalis, and others, which are published, for example, on two sides of a 78 rpm record. So on the 78 rpm record, the duration is approximately 6 minutes, but actually in the film the duration turns out to be much longer.
In the example given above by Sadanand ji, wherein the words in the song are different in the two versions (on account of censor objections), it is to be noted that the gramophone records were recorded and generally released much before the release of the film. So the censor could not take any action on the version of the song on the gramophone record, because it was already in the market and in the hands of the listeners. When the film came up for censor certification, then their objections led to make the change on the soundtrack of the film. Once again, there are many such examples also.
Around mid 1970s, the trend to publish songs on 78 rpm records faded away, and the songs were being released on EPs (45 rpm) and LPs (33.3 rpm). And soon in late 1970s, the songs also started to be released on cassettes. All these media did not have the limitation of 3 and a half minutes. Hence, mid 1970s onwards the record version and the screen version are generally the same (except in some special cases of corrections due to censor objections).
And lastly, as we come into the 1990s and later, all recordings have become digital, and the role of records / cassettes / CDs etc has been minimized. Now every item of sound, every song etc. is on the computer. The music directors and sound editors have the capability, using software tools, to manipulate these sound items, as they like. And so, these days, we see the same song mixed in many different ways. The version in the film, is different than the version on CD, which is different from the version on YouTube, and the YouTube may carry multiple versions of the same song.

Wow, Sudhir ji, what an explanation !
Simply superb !!
One point comes to my mind that in many cases, as you have already pointed out, the starting line of the HFGK does not match with the song on Record.
Could it be because in most cases,as Hamraz ji has conceded himself many times,the HFGK mukhdas are copied from the film booklets and NOT from the records ?

Arun ji,
Yes, it is true. The Geet Kosh compilation process is based more on the information contained in the booklets. It would have been near impossible to gather and listen to ALL the records of the songs, even those which are/were available, and then write the title lines for Geet Kosh compilation. So yes, that information is based on the songs as they have appeared on the sound track of the film (which is the version that gets represented in the booklets), and not as available on the records. And so, the cases where the films themselves are not traceable, the mystery of the variations in the leading lines will always remain.
Atul ji,
It is not so much about the quality control of the content of the booklets. The issue is not the mistakes in the words and grammar of the lines of the song lyrics. The issue simply is that the song as presented on screen had some leading lines, which got represented in the booklet. But since these leading lines were not part of the 78 rpm recording, in the absence of the film itself, it is not possible to determine. My take is that if and when the movies surface, then the content of the booklet will be upheld, in comparison to the audio only version available on the 78 rpm records.
Sadanand ji,
Your observation is correct that there are many cases where the refrain (the oft repeated lines of the mukhda) are presented as the title in Geet Kosh and also on our blog. That representation is a matter of choice on part of the compiler, but is possible only after having heard the actual song (in audio or video). We have already established that the Geet Kosh compilation process depended mostly on the booklets content, and to a lesser extent on the actual song as it was heard. In fact, a very large number of songs were not available (and so were unheard) when the Geet Kosh volumes got published. Many songs have surfaced after the publication, in form of lost 78 rpms being traced. The corresponding films themselves not being traced, sometimes creates this issue of different leading lines.

There is one more example as to why the the mukhdas listed on HFGK sometime does not match with the first line of the song on videos and records. I have observed that sometime the refrains in the song (the lines in the mukhda which gets repeated at the end of each antara) has been shown in HFGK.
I have also observed that some songs have been listed in the Blog in similar fashion like a song from ‘Aankhen’ (1950):
Chup rehna chaahoon reh na sakoon
Kuchh kehna chaahoon keh na sakoon
Qismat ne hamen majboor kiya

A very strange trivia about this song. Lata Ji was not paid the remuneration of this song by the producer Sadashiv J RawKavi. This is mentioned by the journalist Shirish Kanekar who heard it from Lata herself.He got it confirmed from the ledger book also. Reason not known.
