BOL RI KATH PUTLI-Shankar Jaikishan's Best Lata JI-Beautiful Young Vyjayantimala Kathputli 1957

[91943]

S and J and the voice of the goddess. Can't ask for more.

[BharatDesai6]

You are absolutely right.

[Mr8802571340]

Heart touching song.. supeb dance from vyajantimala ji..

[BharatDesai6]

Thanks.

[veroo5]

wonderful show by vyjayantimala and great song by lata mangeshker

[BharatDesai6]

You are right, friend.

[tonynaso]

Oops i forgot Rajshree another dancing wonder and Sandhya too..

[BharatDesai6]

Thanks for your all informative comments. All were entertainers & had their own fans.

[tonynaso]

In order of dancing of the best in Indian cinema i would rate it as follows :- 1. Kumari Kamala ( Kamala Laxman) 2. Sayee Subbulakshmi sisters 3. Travancore sisters 4. Padmini on her own 5. Vyjayanthimala 6. Ragini ( Padmini's sister) 7. L Vijayalakshim 8. EV Saroja 9. Kum Kum 10. Asha Parekh 11. Waheeda Rehman 12. Meenakshi Seshadri 13. Komal Mahuvakar 14. Sridevi 15. Madhuri Dixit 16. Helen ( would be deserving a top spot also) 17. Shobana ( neice of Padmini) NO MORE

[tonynaso]

Lets not forget the Sayee Subbulakshmi sisters as well. Watch aplam chaplam and some others on yt and you will know what i mean. Padmini was more sharp in her dance moves, while Vjyanti was more graceful and agile..Both were good as can be seen in the one all time dance competiton between the 2 in Vanjikottai Valiban. But i must say that Vyjaynti had excellent facial expressions when dancing and that was one of the reasons she scored over the rest of them..but Kumari Kamala was still No. 1..

[tonynaso]

i think its unfair to compare two dancing legends. While Padmini belonged to the famous trio called Travancore sisters, Lalitha, Padmini and Ragini who were all accomplished dancers although Padmini was more popular as she did acting roles as well. Vyjayanthimala also was an established dancer and actress as well. while i agree L Vijayalakshmi was a super dancer those days, i believe still Kumari Kamala or Kamala Lakshman was the the best among them all.

[orientlover1]

Padmini was a good dancer but not so good as actress. She spoke with accent and quite bland in her facial expressions. Vyjayanthimala was more beautiful and better in dancing and was excellent actress as well. In facial resemblance B. Saroja Devi was closer to V. Mala than Padmini.

[BharatDesai6]

@orientlover1

Very good observation. Thanks.

[bharath1957]

@orientlover1 B.saroja devi a junk actress

[tonynaso]

@bharath1957 Saroja Devi only took her acting seriously towards the near end of her career. Initially she was just a glam doll in most of the MGR movies, although almost all of her movies had memorable songs..she did good in Pazhum Pazhamum though..towards the end of 1968 she acted in K. Balanchander's Thamarai Nenjam in a solid role and went on to act in other good movies like Kuzha Villaku and so forth..but that was the near end of her career. she quit acting in 1972 post Pathu Masam Bandam

Waah! one of the few videos with 0 dislikes!..it deserves only likes! :) What a song..heard it on the radio aaj subeh and have been humming it since. :) It has a tinge of sadness..yet it is fast paced..and the uniqueness? a conversation between a young woman and a kath putli...and of course Lata Mangeshkar-Shankar-Jaikishen's wonderful combination! :) Vaijanthi Mala was lovely back then..vivacious yet demure n sweet :)

[BharatDesai6]

Excellent Observation & Expression For This Beauty Of A Song. I like Happy Version little more. Thanks for nice response.

[BharatDesai6]

All are UNIQUE in their own way. Thanks for response.

[Udisubh]

Eventhough I haven't seen the movie, I had cherished this song ( mainly happy verson), I enjoyed SJ's Music very much.

[BharatDesai6]

@Udisubh I too love SJ music. KathPutli was their Best. Thanks.

[Vipin283]

[BharatDesai6]

Fantastic input from your Treasure, Vipin ji. Thank you so much.

[WorldOnWeb84]

@Vipin283

heh!

Hello, thanks for sharing that tit-bit..it's always nice to know about the making of such classics..especially since we hardly have any pictures and no videos of it.

thankyou. :)

[RealMusicKing]

Sad version of the song. Very nice. Thank you for the upload.

Music: Shankar Jaikishan

Lyric: Shailendra

[BharatDesai6]

Yes, it is. Both versions beautifully expressed by V.Mala.Thanks.

[sumitganguly14]

wonder full song.wonderfull music o s-j.

[BharatDesai6]

@sumitganguly14 Yes, It Is Wonderful. Thanks.

[Voltairec]

OMG- I am just transported into another world watching this gem of gems. Vyjayanthimala is like a bird in full flight.....absolutely natural, fantastic, ethereal dancing....if there's a better dancer I am yet to see! Watch her in Naya Daur(ude jab jab) and we know we are witnessing a sublime art. Lata didi brings all emotions to the fore with that golden/fresh voice of hers in 50's....the music, singing, dancing all make us feel that we are rushing to a climax like a brook becoming torrent!

[BharatDesai6]

It feels nice to have such great expression & passion coming from younger generation for Golden Era music of Bollywood. Thanks for excellent response.

[WorldOnWeb84]

@Voltairec

Very well said! :) we all agree with you :)

[gasperagacy]

@Voltairec i accept that Vaijantimala was a great dance, but one actress was even better than her but she never got such fame and recognisation and her name was Padmini. they both looked like twins. so producers who did not have budget to sign V. Mala signed Padmini., thus she is better known as allibi of V. Mala

[Voltairec]

@gasperagacy Yup Padmini even looks more beautiful. But I would say L Vijayalaxmi trumps them all....she acted in many telugu movies and her dancing prowess is matchless. But V'mala was an exceedingly good actress in addition to the incredible dancing skill...that must have clinched it!

[Vipin283]

[BharatDesai6]

I fully agree with you. Thanks for nice response.

[Radda001]

Enchanting film song, haunting melody &

lyrics, splended voice of Lata + classical

dances by Vijayantimala. It's entertaining.

[BharatDesai6]

Some body said that Shankar Jaikishan considered this as their one of finest creation. You rightly said it. Thanks.

[mughaleazamfan]

Beautiful Kathakali piece by Vyjayanthimala...she plays out her minnukku role flawlessly...

[BharatDesai6]

You are right. Thanks for your comment.
