Besides this haunting melody, check out a catchy tune by Mangeshkar’s sister Asha Bhonsle (“Jhumka Gira Re”).Ī rare dancing girl tune as Mangeshkar was pretty strict about lending her voice to anything that smelled unsavory. Sahil Ludhianvi’s lyrics and Jaidev’s music added to its luster with this devotional song that gave goosebumps.Ī spooky tale about a mysterious woman (Sadhana) who appears before a motorist on a rainy night singing “Naina Barse Rim Jhim Rhim Jhim” before disappearing at a cemetery, the song was the centerpiece of great music in Raj Khosla’s psychological thriller.Īnother psychological thriller this was the third film from director Khosla and starring Sadhana. Starring Dev Anand in a double role with Sadhana and Nanda as the female leads, the film was a box office hit. Meena Kumar’s lip-synching matching Mangeskhar’s voice perfectly in this love triangle directed by Kishore Sahu with music from Shankar-Jaikishen.
That sitar opener hooked so many Hindi film aficionados in this happy tune from composer Salil Chowdhury, picturized on Sadhana as a young woman in love for the first time.
Mangeshkar sang dozens of times for Nargis, including this soulful number in “Chori Chori,” a remake of “It Happened One Night.”Ĭomposer Salil Chowdhury shot to fame with the soundtrack to this story within a story of a wronged tribal girl who gets her own revenge, starring Vyjanthimala on whom the song was picturized. Shantaram’s dance film with music by Vasant Desai was another chance for Mangeshkar to show off her classical chops even if the actor in question was Sandhya, not a very well-known star, certainly not in the leagues of Meena Kumari, Nargis or Vyjanthimala. Showing off her classical roots, Mangeshkar’s gorgeous rendition of another song praising Krishna was beautifully picturized on Nutan in “Seema.” Since the star was also a trained singer she was able to realistically accompany the song on the tanpura as she lip-synched.
Mangeshkar lent her voice to top star Meena Kumari in this song and dance number, which also has a religious meaning of Radha singing in praise of Lord Krishna.
