In O meri baby doll, he sets out to woo his lady love (and, actually, impress her rocker uncle, played by Johnny Walker). Sunil Dutt certainly lets his hair down here, and shows he can shake a leg. Perhaps not as well as Shammi Kapoor, but better than a lot of others!
7. Jab dekh liya toh chhupenge kahaan (Chiraagh, 1969): Only about seven years after they worked together in Chhaaya, Sunil Dutt and Asha Parekh co-starred in the tear-jerker Chiraagh, a melodrama pretty much akin to the (invariably Nutan-starring) films that Sunil Dutt acted in around the end of the 60s. Coincidentally, like Chhaaya, Chiraagh too had one song that appeared in two versions, a happy one (technically a duet, since Asha sang one line) and a sad one, sung by Asha.
This one I must remember to listen to, every now and then, Madhulika. I really liked Sammy Kapoor very much, but Manoj Kumar was some other stuff really. It is difficult not to like his songs really; I hold so many good memories associated with them.
yes ..i realised too as i watched ..a very brief appearance but my childhood memory seemed to have been of a very puposeful Mr. Dutt singing it ! perhaps the you tube version is from someplace else ??
Sunil the perfect husband material, Shammi kapoor and Dev Anand were good for courtship:)
I like the topics you pick, you give us all good scope to add songs, all your songs are of different genre and great, except meri samne wali khidki that is not my type of song I would prefer kehna hai.My favourites Jalte hai jiske liye and Rang aur noor ki
I still have some songs to choose inspite of so many of them gone for eg; Zindagi Ke Safar me aleke and zulf lahrai teri
I will add two songs, itni haseen itni jawam raat from Aaj aur kal
and the second one not very well known but special for me becasue at a very young age, listening from a distance I had predicted that this song was sung for Sunil Dutt, the song is Dil mera tumhari adayen le gayi from Gauri,
By the way, there can be no such thing as a Sunil Dutt (from before the blustering-ruffian-with-the-golden-heart-epoch) overdose. So I do unequivocally second all the fellow-readers who are clamouring for a Sunil Dutt-duets post. How wonderful will that be!
PS: Oh, Mujhe Jeene Do is a really, really fine film. Very intelligently written and directed, with a cast that does justice to the story, and a beautiful score by Jaidev (with another wrenching lullaby penned by Sahir):
Staying with Salilda and Sunil Dutt, this song is picturised more on Vyjayanthimala, though SD gallops along on the side. Lovely accordion played I think by Y S Moolkay and usual unobtrusively melodic flute pieces.
Listen to the small flute piece starting at 0:21. The start of Fur Elise. And then see how Salilda works on the original melody with the strings and flute just a little later. Again at the very end at 2:22 a brief snatch of the original melody again.
Back to this post, Sunil Dutt happens to be one of my fav Heroes. Infact he is my third favorite Bollywood hero after Dev Anand & Rajesh Khanna. And on sheer acting ability, i rate him above my two favs, 3 Kapoor brothers & Amitabh Bachchan! Dutto babu, as my father says is terribly underrated.
A very enjoyable post, what I like about your lists is the limitations you put yourself through :) your own doing of course and yet come up with such wonderful songs. Add to those from the comments and the reader is treated to some great music and dicovering songs that one may not have heard or forgotten with time. Chodo Kal ki Baaten turned out to be a background song, but Naujawano Bharat Ki Taqdeer Bana Do from Kundan (1955) is picturised on him. Sung by Rafi, music is by Gulam Mohammad.
Oh, I love Sansaar ki har shay ka. Such a beautiful, beautiful song! I am not a Mahendra Kapoor fan, but he does have a few songs which are really lovely, and that is one of them. Plus the songs he sang for Ravi.
Oh yes, some songs of MK are lovely.. There is an old MK-Asha-Kamal Barot song I heard again today after ages. Dhadka Toh Hoga Zarur (from CID 909). Hmm, you have now provided me the topic of my next post on my recently revived post. Thanks! :-)
Sunil Dutt to me was in his best form when he played negative roles. Mother India and Mujhe Jeene Do and later in Gumraah, Geeta Mera Naam, 36 Ghante and other action flicks of 70s. I also liked him in Heera. I liked him only as a toughie.
