6 Babuji Dheere Chalna – Another hit song
from the film Aar Paar sung by Geeta Dutt.
Geeta Dutt’s singing adds naughtiness to the
sequence, and again it defies era and age.
5 Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen – An intense
song from Kaagaz ke Phool, picturised on
Waheeda Rehman and Guru Dutt, sung
by Geeta Dutt. Waheeda’s acting bring out
the pain while Geeta’s singing makes the
listener feel it.
4 Sar Jo Tera Chakraye – The evergreen
champi song from the film Pyaasa, picturised
on Johnny Walker who adds life to the song
with his acting. Guru Dutt had written this
film even before becoming a filmmaker. Even
after so many years it continues to remain a
popular song.
3 Na Jao Saiyaan – The classic from Sahib
Bibi aur Ghulam sung by Geeta Dutt where
Meena Kumari plays the neglected wife.
Portraying the angst of a neglected woman
with unfulfilled desires, Meena Kumari is
supposed to have said that the character of
Chhoti Bahu has a close resemblance to her
real life.
2 Jane Woh Kaise Log – From the film
Pyaasa, picturised on Guru Dutt singing
about lucky are the ones who find love to an
audience. The film portrays glimpses from
his early childhood and the struggles his
family faced. It also about what happened
when he did succeed.
1 Chaudhvin ka Chand – The romantic
superhit from Chaudhvin ka Chand has
remained popular even today. While the
song is a great hit, it is Waheeda Rehman’s
beauty that makes the song what it is.
