The ‘Bibi’, Geeta, sang this

With the addition of this song to my collection, there are three songs from Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) in it.

If there arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the last of those – the song in question was Piya Aiso Jiya Mein Samaye Gayo.

And if they were arranged in the ascending (or descending) order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and 15 seconds long.

It was sung by Geeta Dutt.

Hemant Kumar, who composed the film’s songs, didn’t render any of them.

Shakeel Badayuni wrote them.

Kishore was loved by everybody

Kishore Kumar seemed to revel in film titles with a blank, the word Ka, and another blank, in which the first blank was the name of an Indian metro and the third word described a criminal – in 1958, he starred in Dilli Ka Thug, and in 1962, he starred in Bombay Ka Chor.

The only song from the latter in my collection was Hasrat Hi Rahi Humse Bhi Kabhi Koi Pyaar Karta.

Firstly, Mr Jaipuri didn’t write it – Rajinder Krishan was the lyricist.

And secondly, everyone loved Kishore Kumar.

The song was composed by Ravi.

It was yet anotheR(a)fine solo

Baat Ek Raat Ki released in 1962.

Before I added this song to my collection, there was just one song from the film in my collection.

It was titled Akela Hoon Main.

Though Mohammed Rafi was renowned for his humility, only he could have justice to the title of the song, because he was the leading playback singer at that point, and as the saying goes, it is lonely at the top.

It was his only solo on the soundtrack of the film.

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the song, which was composed by S D Burman

The education system was MocKed

Sikandar is Hindi for Alexander III of Macedon, who was better known as Alexander The Great.

His battle with Porus was the subject of the third song from the 1962 film Anpadh in my collection.

It was titled Sikandar Ne Porus Se Ki Thi Ladaai.

The song took a dig at the Indian education system, as well as the ‘funny’ English language (as was evident from the line about P-U-T put and B-U-T but).

It was Mahendra Kapoor’s only contribution to the film’s soundtrack.

Raja Mehdi Ali Khan wrote the song, which Madan Mohan composed.

Mohammed Rafi’s rendition was Be‘Misaal’

Prior to the addition to the subject of this post to my collection, it had just one song from Aarti, which released in 1962.

The second song from the film in it also happened to be the second from an alphabetical point of view – it was titled Ab Kya Misaal Doon.

The next three words were Tere Shabaab Ki.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, the Mohammed Rafi solo would be the first – it was three minutes and 53 seconds long.

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the song, which Roshan composed.
