One song of the film Flat No. 9 (1961) is already posted on this blog. That one is the iconic Mukesh song, ‘Gaa Deewaane Jhoom Ke, Raat Ki Zulfen Choom Ke’. But the remaining songs in this film are no less a delight to listen to. Despite its wonderful music, there is literally no information available online, about this film. From the Geet Kosh, one finds that this film was produced under the banner of WS Films, Bombay. It is a social drama directed by Ramesh Sharma. There are a total of 6 songs in this film, four are sung by Lata Mangeshkar, one by Mukesh, and one by Asha Bhosle. The lyrics are written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and the wonderful music is by Usha Khanna. The star line up for this film includes Ashok Kumar, Saeeda Khan, Tiwari, Jagdish Sethi, Helen, Dhoomal, Narbada Shankar, Ravikant, Dinesh Kumar, Kehsav, Prem Saagar, Razia, Aasi etc.
