This tracK had two (Man)names

Daadi Maa released in 1966.

While the title of the film could be translated to paternal grandmother, the only song from the film referenced her daughter-in-law (in other words, Maa, or mother).

It would not be incorrect to state that it went by a couple of titles, if one considered Ae Maa Teri Soorat Se Alag as one of those.

But the song was officially credited as Usko Nahin Dekha Humne Kabhi.

The two men who lent their voices to it were Manna Dey and Mahendra Kapoor.

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the song, which Roshan composed.  

A Sing(h)ing quaRTet rendereD it

Prior to the addition of the subject of this post – and that of the next one – to my collection, there was just one song from Haqeeqat (1964) in it.

The second song from the film in my collection (if the three were arranged in the alphabetical order) was Hoke Majboor Usne Mujhe Bulaya Hoga.

Four male Sing(h)ers – Bhupinder, Manna Dey, Mohammed Rafi, and Talat Mahmood – sang it.

Kaifi Azmi wrote the Madan Mohan composition, which was the longest of the three from the film in my collection – it was seven minutes and a second long.

Dey sang this title track

Toofan Aur Deeya released in 1956.

The only song from the film in my collection happened to be its title track.

It had a couple of titles.

One was Yeh Kahani Hai Deeye Aur Toofan Ki (which means, “This is the story of a lamp and a storm”).

And the other was Nirbal Se Ladaai Balwaan Ki (which could be translated to, “The fight between the weak and the strong”).

It was the only contribution to Manna Dey to the soundtrack of the film.

The song V(y)as written by Bharat, and composed by Vasant Desai.
