It was (Sum)another Kalyanpur-Mukesh duet

My collection contained three songs from Pehchan, which released in 1970.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Aaya Na Humko Pyaar Jatana would be the first.

It was sung by Mukesh (who lent his voice to all the three songs from the film in my collection).

Moreover, it was the second contribution of Suman Kalyanpur to the soundtrack of the film.

Each of the three tracks from the film in my collection was written by a different lyricist – Indeevar penned this one.

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

It was Su(ma)ng by Mukesh

Saathi released in 1968.

Mukesh Chand Mathur sang the majority of the songs on the soundtrack of the film.

Interestingly, he was the only male singer to lend his voice to them.

However, my collection contained just one of those.

It was titled Mera Pyaar Bhi Tu Hai.

The lady who joined him behind the microphone for the song was Suman Kalyanpur.

It happened to be her only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the song, which was composed by Naushad Ali.

The song was four minutes and 22 seconds long.

Suman sang it with Rafi

If the four songs from Farz (1967) were arranged in the alphabetical order, Tumse O Haseena would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 55 seconds long.

Mohammed Rafi was joined behind the microphone for the song by Suman Kalyanpur.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

By the way, this was one of the three songs whose Revival versions also featured on the film’s soundtrack.

The others were also included in my collection.

‘Ensemble queen’ Kamal S(um)ang it

Barsaat Ki Raat released in 1960.

My collection contained five tracks from the film, because I split the pair of qawwalis (Na Toh Caravan Ki Talash Hai and Yeh Ishq Ishq Hai).

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Garjat Barsat Saawan Aayo Re would be the first.

The two ladies who lent that track their voices were Kamal Barot and Suman Kalyanpur.

Ironically, the former seemed to come into her own when she teamed up with other singers, particularly female singers.

The song, which was penned by Sahir Ludhianvi, was composed by Roshan.

Arivu joined Neeti and Vishal

As long as I can remember, I have preferred listening to the radio to watching television. And one of the former taglines of a popular Ind...
