(Someone has been asking for these lists for quite sometime.)
Digressing from serious topics, I tried writing something on a light topic and found it to be profoundly more time consuming and taxing than any topic I have hitherto touched upon. I was trying to compile a list of the ten best songs of the greatest music director ever, Sachin Dev Burman or Sachinda. I give up. Not my cup of tea. Apart from 'Jaane woh kaise log the jinke pyar ko pyar mila' (Pyaasa/Hemant Kumar) ,'Jaayen to jaayen kahan' (Taxi Driver/Talat Mahmood) and 'waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam' (Kaagaz ke phool/Geeta Dutt), I could go no further. Too many to include. Call Napolean!!
I now decide to trim down my filter. And try to get top 10 songs of Sachinda- Dev Anand combination (in no particular order). Not easy, given Sachinda's preference for Vijay Anand's Navketan banner. Still trying my hand. Let me add a standard disclaimer that 'the list is indicative and not comprehensive'
1. Din dhal jaaye, raat na jaaye -(Guide)
2. Jayen To Jayen Kahan -(Taxi Driver)
3. Hum bekhudi mein tumko pukare chale gaye (Kala Pani)
4. Apni to har aah ek toofan hai (Kala bazar)
5. Dil ka bhanwar kare pukar (Tere ghar ke saamne)
6. Ham hain rahi pyar ke (Nau do gyarah)
7. kya se kya ho gaya, bewafaa, tere pyaar mein (guide)
8. Hai apana din to awara (Solva Saal)
9. Dil Aaj Shaayar Hai (Gambler)
And instead of 10th, I give 2 songs from Hum Dono whose music was composed by Sachinda's great assistant Jaidev (somehow I count it as Sachinda songs)
- Main Zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya
- kabhi khud pe, kabhi halat pe rona aaya
That was fun. I am getting hooked to compilations. An easy one this time. Sachinda- Lata combination, the best in business.
My personal favourite :
1. Mora gora ang le le
mohe shaam rang de de
chup jaaongi raat hi mein
mohe pee ka sang de de ... (Bandini)
2. Rangeela re (Prem Pujari)
3. Rula Ke Gaya Sapna Mera (Jewel Thief)
4. Saiyan Beimaan (Guide)
5. Piya Bina Piya bina (Abhimaan)
6. Ab to Hai Tumse Har Khushi apni
7. Piya Tose Naina Laage Re (Guide)
8. Megha chhaye aandhi raat (Sharmilee)
9. Nadiya kinare heraye aaye kangana (Abhimaan)
10.Tum na jaane kis jahan mein kho gaye (saza)

@ saurabh
Indeed.There are too many good ones left out. And I have read that when the movie was released, this song sung by Dada was the biggest hit from the movie, Perhaps, one of the best songs SUNG by Dada
just for trivia......mora gora ang laile was sampooran singh's alias gulzar's first song as a lyricist....:)
