Only Kishore could’ve sung this

Shehzada released in 1972.

There was just one song from the film in my collection.

It was titled Thokar Mein Hai Meri Saara Zamana.

The song was (Kisho)rendered by the one and only Mr Kumar (who, unsurprisingly, happened to be the main male voice on the soundtrack of the film, which starred Rajesh Khanna).

And there is no two ways about the fact that only he could have lent his voice to it.

The song, which was written by Rajinder Krishan, was composed by Rahul Dev Burman.

It was four minutes and 17 seconds long.

Lata’s solo was Geeta’s geet

My collection contained four songs from Seeta Aur Geeta, which released in 1972.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Haan Ji Haan Maine Sharab Pee Hai would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 26 seconds long.

The track, which was picturised on the fiesty Geeta, was the only female solo in the film – it was rendered by none other than Lata Mangeshkar.

Anand Bakshi penned the song, which was composed by R D Burman.

Lata (Kisho)rendered this one too

While no self-respecting married man would like to be dubbed a Joroo Ka Ghulam (his wife’s slave), it is fair to assume that most people liked the songs of the film of that name, which released in 1972.

The only one from it in my collection was titled Nainon Mein Nindiya Hai.

That song and the previous one had two things in common.

Firstly, Lata Mangeshkar and Mr Kumar (Kisho)rendered them.

And secondly, Anand Bakshi penned them.

The difference between them was a different jodi composed this song – Kalyanji Virji Shah and Anandji Virji Shah.

Everybody Listened to this tracK

At the outstet, I would like to clarify that the title of this post was not a sweeping statement, but a translation of, “Is gaane ko sab ne suna”.

Aur kaafi pasand kiya.

The subject of this post is Maine Dekha Tune Dekha.

Spread across my playlists, it was the third song from the 1972 film Dushmun in my collection.

It happened to be the only duet in the film – Lata Mangeshkar and Mr Kumar (Kisho)rendered it.

The song was written by Anand Bakshi.

It was composed by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma.

 

Its title had (Kisho)repeated words

Do (two) was the first word in the title of the film the subject of this post was from.

The second word was Chor.

The film released in 1972.

If the three songs from it in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, this one, which had do pairs of repeated words, would be the last – it was titled Meri Jaan Meri Jaan.

It was a Kishore Kumar solo (unlike the other two tracks from the film, which were duets).

That track was written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

It was composed by R D Burman.

Kumar (Kisho)rendered Apradh’s other solo

If the four songs from Apradh in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post – and the second song from the film on this playlist – would be the third.

It was titled Tum Ho Haseen.

It happened to be the first song in the Tum Duology on the soundtrack of the film.

But unlike Tum Mile Pyaar Se, that song was a solo – it was (Kisho)rendered by the one and only Mr Kumar.

The song was written by Indeevar.

It was composed by Kalyanji Virji Shah and Anandji Virji Shah. 

Asha’s solo inspired a chartbuster

This playlist contained a couple of songs from Apradh, which released in 1972.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Ae Naujawan Hai Sab Kuchh Yahan would be the first.

The lady who (Bhos)lent her voice to it was none other than Asha.

The song, which was written by Indeevar, was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.

In 2005, the song became the basis for the chartburster, Don’t Phunk With My Heart (from the American rap group The Black Eyed Peas’ album, Monkey Business).

By the way, that song credited Indeevar and the Shah brothers as songwriters.
