i think the music director who shown in this is video is the vinod who also the music director of this film

[orientlover1]

@9764048302 You are right, he is the same. I think the girl sitting at the piano at 0:13-0:15 is Vinod's niece.

[9821210047]

@orientlover1 She is not his niece.

[surjit1234]

The famous compiler Har Mandir Singh Hamraaz has confirmed that the lady is Honey O'Brian. He says the song is in her own voice.

[sounak93]

@surjit1234 In the record version of "Dilli Se Aaya" HMV incorrectly credits the voice to be Geeta Roy...

[RHCPUNE]

@surjit1234 I think most probably the singer is Ms Meenal Wagh.

[orientlover1]

The heroine of the film Meena Shorey 1:35 & 2:02 sitting at the table on extreme right, died in abject poverty in Lahore in 1989. She had blood cancer and was admitted into the general ward of Mayo Hospital. Of the new generation nobody knew her but one day a senior doctor recognized her. Next morning news broke in the press. She was sent abroad for treatment but all in vain; she died soon after. She married 4 or 5 times in her life. She hailed from Raiwind - a town near Lahore. Posted from LHR.

[orientlover1]

The woman singing this song can also be seen singing "ek bewafa se piyar kiya" in film Awara

[surjit1234]

Are you sure? She looks different to me.

[orientlover1]

@surjit1234 yes,her appearance has changed due to time period in between the two movies, hair style, dress etc. In this song there is no close up of her's but in Awara song she appears in many close up shots. There, despite wearing a sari she appears to be of European race with brown/blue eyes and brown hair. I think she was "Anglo-Indian". I have not seen her in any other movie. She should be in her late seventies now, if still alive.

[fripouill]

@orientlover1 You are absolutely right. It is the same actress. She is still alive and now lives in Geneva Switzerland. She moved there after the birth of her three daughters.

[jagjitisher]

vinod was full of talents n has composed beautiful songs. its sad that he passed away in young life.

[rivkateam]

very true vinod was an excellent md and too bad he past at young age he could have become one of the leading md because he is absoulutley brilliant

[jagjitisher]

once in a live program lata ji hd highly praised vinod & his compositions. we r unlucky 2 loose this talented gem. may his soul rest in eternal peace.

[dansayang]

There is a continuation of this song "Poonae sae aayi teen shori". Could you possibly post that? Thanks!

[amrutvani]

The person seen conducting the orchestra is the music director VINOD himself.His real name was Eric Roberts.He died of tetanus in a younge age.One of his best duet is from film anmol ratan viz.yaad aanewale phir yaad aa rahe hai sung by Talat & Lata.

thanks information about music d vinod

[ex721]

God bless you for this information. This way we can pray for his soul to be blessed.

[himsinger]

The heroine is Meena Shorey. Ek Thi Ladki is a marvellous comedy starrting Motilal, Meena Shorey, IS Johar. IS Johar I think wrote the screenplay. The film was produced by Roop Kumar Shorey, then Meena Shorey's husband. Lara Lappa is in this movie.

[hammad78]

Who is this actress?

[bridgerixi]

charming! thanks

[oldsongsfan]

Funny song! I never heard it.Who is singer?

[sukazim]

The playback singer is Sulochana Kadam - a favorite of MD Vinod

[hildebrandus]

The singer is Vinod's neice Honey (Vinita Amladi) and not Sulochana ji.

[fripouill]

I don't know who the singer is but the actress playing the singer is Honey O'Brien... and I don't think she's Vinod's niece...
