Jab badal lehraya-Choomantar-OP

[asha1053]

fabulous song and music

[cumrao]

Very very true. OP-Geeta combination was irresistible .In fact my craze for Hindi songs, though not knowing Hindi started with Aarpaar and especially Babuji dhire chalna. It went so much into my child's heart(I was 13 then) so much that every twist and turn of the music , Geetha's voice and Shakila'sdnace are firmly imprinted.In my idle moments, I still recall every second of that great song.

[Coucoutchicou]

O.P. was never more inspired than when he composed for Geeta. Such rhythm, such lilt as was never achieved by any other combination - including O.P. himself with Asha...

[cumrao]

@Coucoutchicou I agree with you 200%. I am a crazy fan of both OP and Geetha. OP showed how vesatile she can be from Baaz , Aarpaar, Mr. Mrs. CID, Choomantar, Musafirkhana, Miss coca cola, Shrimati 420, Ustad. The very mention of those songs lifts my spirits. OP-Geetha songs were lilting, seductive, exhilarating.

On screen, we see SHYAMA and not ANITA GUHA please.

Ah! what bliss! Long live OP Geeta combination!

[SPChitale]

There r few very good duet songs in this film like Gam nahin kar muskura,hamne jab dil tha diya koi vada tha kiya, mai to baki nainowale. R these videos also available?

[SPChitale]

I think this song base of Raga Saramg

[SPChitale]

I think this song was picturised on Anita Guha. Am I right?

[umraochalsani]

Yes, it was on Anitha guha. Almost all the songs were excellent, with gareeb jaanke and gam nahin kar being tops. O.P.Nayyar's great ness lies in giving his best to 2 nd 3rd rate films and yet retaining his popularity and quality of the muisc.

[durlabhpkolhe]

a typical orchestration and style differs op from others. no copy of others and he created his own style. usha khanna copied him in dil deke dekho.

[raqib56]

irresistable OP style modern tappay

beat and crazy melody, with such lyrics

what an arrangement !!

[Tusharbhatia20]

wow ..a great song...op-geeta combination is always a sure fire!! this one's a dynamite!

great dance by shyama.

I love this song, this is the first time I am seeing the video. Thank you!

[srazdan]

Very nice! Btw, it's Geeta Dutt not Asha.:-)

[rtkirani]

How sweet. Just love it.

[AnshulMishra]

It was not exactly OP's earlier movies.. He had already had AAR Paar, Mr & Mrs. 55 and CID by this time.. It was rather one of the last movies of his early career.. His career turned after Naya Daur which came 3-4 movies after this one..

[umraochalsani]

Well, strange perception of what is early and what is not. After Aarpaar, and Mr. and Mrs. yes, but not CID. His successful career started with Aarpaar in 1954, and Choomantar came in 1956. In an active career spanning at least 15 years, I p[ersonally would call the first 2 years as early period.
