What an excellent song .

ROHIT

[bhawnaraju]

whenever i listen this lovely song i can't stop dancing and singing.

[oreomarch]

The music was much better in the old days but The actors and actresses could not dance to save their lives. Imagine,Priyanka or Priety Zinta dancing on this song.

[vikasvn1971]

Thanks for this beautiful song.Shagoon songs defenitely prooves her ability. Though she could not sing on high pitches as much Asha and Lata could sing. For example just listen the song `Parbaton ke pedo par' but. But still, whenever she got a chance she proves it.

[rumahale]

Beautiful song.

Unfortunately lot of unconcerned comments are raised. A genuine viewer should comment positively concerning only to the song / video instead of making it public forum for other issues.

I must confess that every time I start listening to SK, I must do a double-take before realizing it's not Lata. This doesn't diminish SK's talent for me ; it only enhances it in my ears. Lata is the standard for me. Anyone whose voice is that close to her sweetness is a winner in my eyes. Beautiful clip. Thanks, dipiaar.

Suman Kalyanpur comes to her own in this song. She neither copied Lata nor tried to mimic her style. She stood on her own merit. She gave us beautiful numbers especially with Rafi and Manna Dey, Kishore, Mukesh. Let us appreciate her for her talent and this song is certainly testimony to that truth

[sgtalageri]

I had uploaded this song in audio form on youtube, but (like all my other audio uploads of film songs) only because the video had not yet been uploaded. Thanks for this video song.

[derubala]

BIG...YES!!

my favorite song.

I think 1962/63/64 was the years of Suman.

This is the best.

I am soooo happy.

Thank you for up load.

[nickkohri]

This time period coincided with the time when Lata refused to sing any duets with Rafi. This opened-up opportunities for Suman. The in-roads made by Suman during this period hastened Lata's desire to sing with Rafi once again because Lata was the loser!!!

[derubala]

very true.

And same reason Asha, Shamshad and Mubarak Begum got the chances to sing with Rafi too!

[suhanegeet]

You are right. Opportunities opened for Suman only when Lata refused to sing. Otherwise who would have looked at duplicate when original was available ?

[nickkohri]

So true. Suman was also known as the "poor man's Lata"! Many B-grade and C-grade movie producers who could not afford Lata's prices opted for Suman! Plus many music directors were sick and tired of Lata's nakhre & politics. Lata refused to sing for SD Burman, C. Ramchandra and Shanker-Jaikishen!! The only MD who had the guts to stand up to Lata was OP Nayyar who refused to dance to Lata's tune.

[srazdan]

I don't think Suman got this song because Lata refused to sing with Rafi! Lata-Rafi didn't sing together from about1965-1968, and while Suman certainly gained several duets with Rafi because of that, it's does a talented singer a grave injustice to dismiss her as merely a "poor man's Lata."

[nickkohri]

Research the economics of music recording costs during this period. It has nothing to do with talent. Term "poor man's Lata" was widely used in older issues of "Filmfare" & "Cine". Raju Bharatan used this phrase. Evidence of Suman's songs points towards lower costs vs Lata's higher costs. Only pure economics drives Bollywood, just like Hollywood. The entertainment business is a very cruel business. Absolutely nothing to do with talent and sentimentality (which seems to be driving your view).

[dipiaar]

I fully agree with you madam.But great men too do make mistakes[S.D.Burman calling her a Lata-duplicate was one such] Another point that nickkohri ji has raised--there are many films in which Lata/Asha /Rafi [& other 'costly' singers] & Suman have sung songs for the same film.Dil ek mandir, Sanjh aur savera,Dil hi to hai etc.Where is economics of music recording cost, there ?

[nickkohri]

All you have to do is make a list of the movies in which Suman sang. Then make a Grade A,B & C analysis. Conclusion automatically manifests itself. You must analyze at least 51% of the movies in which Suman sang. Just a handful will not do. I am not in the habit of scoring points just for the sake of scoring points. And I do not "dismiss" Suman's talent. My large collection of Suman songs on reel-to-reel tapes (never released by EMI on EPs/LPs/CDs) is testimony to her talent.

[srazdan]

I'm not disputing that most of Suman's songs were for B/C-grade films. So are most of Lata's songs! That's because the vast majority of Hindi films are B/C-grade affairs.

[srazdan]

Since folks don't go around terming Lata a "B-grade movie" singer, it's fair to conclude that the moniker "Poor Man's Lata" is deployed for the express purpose of diminishing Suman's achievements and contribution to HFM. The fact that the pharse was coined by a thoughtless, discredited, hack like Raju Bharatan is even more reason not to give it any currency!

[nickkohri]

Please read the old issues of "filmfare" and "Cine" magazines and other press material from this period before you comment further about the "poor man's Lata" phrase.

[srazdan]

I have read them and while you may take everything you read in film rags as the gospel truth, I prefer to think for myself, and form my own judgements. Each to his own.
