The song is surely one of her career bests. Let’s hear it,īaag Mein Kali Khili – Chand Aur Suraj (1965) / Lyrics – Shailendra But one of the songs has made it to all time superhit.įor the film, Chand Aur Suraj (1965), she has a solo for Tanuja which is counted among the greatest songs by Asha Bhosle. In the 1960s again, she was offered mainly the dance numbers, her contribution remaining limited to just four films, with just six songs. It has a slight western touch to it, the style of singing, I mean. It’s totally different than the other parts of the composition. Picturised on Chand Usmani, Asha Mathur and Ashim Kumar, it’s a great melody and the first song Asha Bhosle sang for Salil Choudhary. I think it’s a comparatively better known song. Meri Wafaye Tumhari Jafayen – Amaanat (1955) / Lyrics – Shailendra

So as I said in the beginning, she could have been chosen for economic reasons.

But Asha’s duets are not for the main lead, but one of the songs is picturised on beggars while the other on children. Geeta Dutt sings for Asha Mathur and Kammo. For the first film Amaanat, Asha Bhosle is the main singer. Still it’s one of the aspects of Asha Bhosle’s career and can be explored. Not something to go for in depth analysis. The number of songs is not big, in fact it’s very small. Some of the YouTube videos even mention a 1954 dubbed film, Manohar, where Salil Choudhary composed a couple of songs on his own and one of the songs was sung by Asha Bhosle. Their first film together appears to be Amaanat (1955), where Asha Bhosle had four songs to her credit, a couple of solos and duets each. But there is always a thrill and fun to explore the lesser known things. I agree, the song list might not have popular or even well known songs. The first composer that came to my mind was Salil Choudhary. This year, which has absolutely nothing good to offer, I thought of exploring Asha’s lesser talked about associations. A couple of years back, on Asha’s birthday, I published twin posts covering Asha Bhosle’s musical association with Madan Mohan.
