When the first edition of the Volume 4 (1961-1970) of the Hindi Film Geet Kosh came out in May 1986, Har Mandir Singh 'Hamraaz' wrote that it was a song-less film. This was based on the information available to him at that time.

Thirty-six years later, when he was preparing the second edition, the film was available and he deleted the remark about it being a song-less film. This is because he found one song in a female voice with chorus:

Banne Re Teree Ankhiyan Suramedaane ...

When he sent the files to me, I also watched the film for picturization information, and found one more song!

So, here is the entry in the picturization book.

Of course, this information will go on the website. Here are the two songs and the title music.

professor toofaanii publishers is proud to announce their 64th book:

Hindi Film Song Picturizations (1961-1970) ENGLISH

Prof Surjit Singh and

Har Mandir Singh 'Hamraaz'

This book is a sister project, part of the much larger database website project. The project is an outgrowth of the massive Hindi Film Geet Kosh (1980-) series of books compiled by 'Hamraaz'. The website (in both English and Hindi) is planned to contain all the data in the Geet Kosh, suitably expanded and revised by including the latest information.

The whole history of the Geet Kosh may be read in the My Story section of the website. Suffice it to say that after the pioneering work of Firoze Rangoonwalla and BV Dharap, Geet Kosh was a unique and original compilation work expanding the earlier work in many directions.

The database on the website is divided into three section for convenience. The Censor Certificate section has the information about the censored films. The Filmography section has the information about film production and other details. The Song section has detailed information about the songs.

It is a work in progress. Books on the Censor Certificate Information (English, Hindi) and Hindi Talkie Filmography (1951-1970) (English, Hindi) have been published earlier. This book is based on the Song Section and contains the Song Picturization of Hindi Talkies Feature Films from 1961 to 1970, based on the films available to us. Here you will find names of the main singers and dancers and also of the background dancers and junior artists. Based on 665 films and has information on 4,335 song picturizations.

This is a reference book. It has the title, the censor year, song title, singers, onscreen main artists and Junior Artists and Background dancers. People researching Hindi films will find this book useful.

The book is in English, US Letter, 296 pages, Table of Contents, Actor Index. Hindi version was published earlier.

As usual the first 10 pages may be read here
