A Kishore solo to give a good start to the quiz. Song: Pichhli yaad bhulado, guzre beete afsanoN ka har ek naqsh miTado Film: MEHNDI (1983) Playback: Kishore Kumar Lyrics: Varma Malik Produced by: Dinesh Kumar Directed by: Asit Sen Correct responses: 5/16 **************************************************************************** 2. nazreiN milti haiN, jaam milte haiN *a floral duet of the early eighties. Lata & Talat Aziz. An all art-movie-star cast. Song: Phir chhiddi raat, baat phooloN ki, raat hai ya baraat phooloN ki Film: BAZAAR (1982) Playback: Lata Mangeshkar & Talat Aziz Lyrics: Maqdoom Mohiuddin Produced by: Vijay Talwar Directed by: Sagar Sarhadi Correct responses: 13/16 **************************************************************************** 3. jab bhi do khwab kisi mod pe mil jaate haiN har andhere mein ujala sa bikhar jaata hai *a poor copy (perhaps without intention) of "Yeh Nazdeekiyan" about a love triangle, though both films came out in the same year. Song: Jab se dekha hai tumhe aisa lagta hai mere KHwab ki taabeer ho tum Film: DIL AAKHIR DIL HAI (1982) Playback: Suresh Wadkar & Lata Mangeshkar Lyrics: Nida Fazli Produced by: M.S. Gulati Directed by: Esmayeel Shroff Correct responses: 3/16 **************************************************************************** 4. shareer shoKH kiran mujhko choom leti hai *this film was dedicated to the great Faiz Ahmad Faiz, though he was not the lyricist. The actual lyricist's real-life daughter gave playback for this song for herself in the movie. A lot of shers/couplets by Faiz were recited in this movie, including Dil na-umeed to nahin, naakaam hi to hai Lambi hai GHam ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai, which incidentally was recited just before the song "Yeh safar bahut hai kaThin magar, na udaas ho mere hamsafar" sung by Shivaji Chattopadhyay in 1942-A Love Story. Song: Gulab jism ka yuNhi nahiN khila hoga, hawa ne pehle tujhe phir mujhe chhua hoga Film: ANJUMAN (1986) Playback: Shabana Azmi & Bhupinder Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Produced by: Integrated Films Directed by: Muzaffar Ali Correct responses: 7/16 **************************************************************************** 5. ab to aaja ki ab raat bhi so gayi *a "palindromically" named singer. One of Khaiyyam's earliest movies. A movie with an English name. This is one of the easiest questions and if I say anymore, I'll give it away. Song: Shaam-e-GHam ki qasam aaj GHamgeeN haiN hum, aa bhi jaa, aa bhi jaa, aaj mere sanam Film: FOOTPATH (1953) Playback: Talat Mehmood Lyrics: Sardar Jafri & Majrooh Produced by: Ranjit Directed by: Zia Sarhady Correct responses:15/16 **************************************************************************** 6. bujha saka hai bhala kaun waqt ke shole *this was played twice in the movie (a "tandem") - once a male solo (Bhupinder), once a female (Asha), but unfortunately the lyrics never varied. This was a very sad movie about a prostitute. Song: Kabhi kisiko mukammal jahaN nahiN milta; kahiN zameeN to kahiN aasmaaN nahiN milta Film: AHISTA AHISTA (1981) Playback: Asha Bhosle / Bhupinder Lyrics: Nida Fazli Produced by: Sibte Hasan Rizvi Directed by: Esmayeel Shroff Correct responses: 13/16 **************************************************************************** 7. narm aanchal se chhanti yeh khushboo mere har khwab par chha gayi hai *lyrics by the father of the lyricist of "ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga".

She looks at herself in the mirror and sings. A Lata solo. Song: Chori chori koi aaye, chupke chupke Film: NOORIE (1979) Playback: Lata Mangeshkar Lyrics: Jaan Nisaar Akhtar Produced by: Yash Chopra Directed by: Manmohan Krishna Correct responses: 8/16 **************************************************************************** 9. dhaaga ho to tor bhi DaaruN preet pe kiska jor *this song had outstanding percussion and mindblowing lyrics. Another Lata solo, but with chorus. Song: Rang rangeela saaNwara mohe mil gayo jamuna paar Film: BAROOD (1960) Playback: Lata Mangeshkar Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri Correct responses: 8/16 **************************************************************************** 10. raakh barbaad mohabbat ki bachaa rakkhi hai *the name of this movie was later repeated as a Govinda starrer. One of Mohd. Rafi's best songs. Incidentally another song from this film featured in a Chitrahaar 2-3 Chitrahaars ago. Song: Jaane kya dhoonDti rehti haiN yeh aaNkheN mujh meiN, raakh ke Dher meiN shola hai na chingari hai Film: SHOLA AUR SHABNAM (1961) Playback: Mohammed Rafi Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Produced by: Parijat Pictures Directed by: Ramesh Saigal Correct responses: 15/16 **************************************************************************** 11. roko zulf ko yaNhi qaabu dil pe ab nahiN *this singer was extremely popular as playback for the real life brother of the hero in this film, though this particular song was picturized on a comedian. Song: Itna husn pe huzoor na GHuroor kijiye, dil ke maaroN ka KHayaal kuchh zuroor kijiye Film: MOHABBAT ISKO KEHTE HAIN (1965) Playback: Mukesh Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri Produced by: Akhtar Mirza Directed by: Akhtar Mirza Correct responses: 6/16 **************************************************************************** 12. jaage jaage armaaN bheega bheega mausam *she sang with both father and son in her career. A 'tri'- starrer movie with multi-starrer playback. Song: Gapuchi gapuchi gam gam Film: TRISHUL (1978) Playback: Lata Mangeshkar & Nitin Mukesh Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi Produced by: Gulshan Rai Directed by: Yash Chopra Correct responses: 12/16 **************************************************************************** 13. woh dil jo maine maaNga tha magar GHairoN ne paaya tha *the sensual voice of the music director's wife. A piano song and a beautiful, not very popular actress. Song: Tum apna ranj-o-GHam, apni pareshani mujhe dedo; tumhe unki qasam is dil ki veeraani mujhe dedo Film: SHAGOON (1964) Playback: Jagjit Kaur Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi Produced by: Shaheen Art Directed by: Nazar The name of the actress is NIVEDITA. Correct responses: 12/16 **************************************************************************** 14. ek seepee meiN chhup gaya moti jaane kab oas meiN nahaate hue *a south indian actress with an actor whose brother usually scores the music for his movies, but evidently not for this one. This was a crazy film. ***** Song: ab chiraGHon ke koi kaam nahiN, tere chehre se roshni si hai Film: BAAWRI (1982) Playback: Lata Mangeshkar & Yesudas Lyrics: Maya Govind Produced by: Gopal Krishnan Directed by: Trilok Chandra Correct responses: 3/16 **************************************************************************** 15. jaagti jheel ke saahil pe kahiN leke haatoN meiN koi saaz-e-haseeN *duet with a romantic hero of the early seventies in a movie in the early eighties. Jayaprada is the heroine. Song: Chaandni raat mein ek baar tumhe dekha tha Film: DIL-E-NADAAN (1981) Playback: Lata Mangeshkar & Kishore Kumar Lyrics: Naqsh Lyalpuri Produced by: S.M. Sundaram Directed by: Sridhar Correct responses: 8/16 **************************************************************************** 16. yaad teri kabhi dastak, kabhi sargoshi se raat ke pichhle peher roz jagati hai hameN *this singer was 'Ghazal King' some years ago. Song: Zindagi jab bhi teri bazm meiN laati hai hameN, yeh zameeN chaand se behtar nazar aati hai hameN Film: UMRAO JAAN (1981) Playback: Talat Aziz Lyrics: Shahrayar Produced by: Muzaffar Ali Directed by: Muzaffar Ali Correct responses: 13/16 **************************************************************************** 17. tu apni har KHushi ko logoN meiN baaTta chal jaane kya GHam ho kisko, har dil meiN jhaakta chal *both uncle and nephew were in this movie. Another Kishore song on a gaudily-lit stage. The meaning of this movie remains a question to this day. ******** Song: Zindagi haseen hai, zindagi se pyaar kar; apna ho ya GHair ho, sab pe dil nisaar kar Film: SAWAAL (1982) Playback: Kishore Kumar Produced by: Yash Chopra Directed by: Ramesh Talwar Correct responses: 3/16 **************************************************************************** 18. kahiN kisi roz yuN bhi hota hamari haalat tumhari hoti *Gulzar and RD made a great team, but this couldn't get any better either. Song: Hazaar raaheN mud ke dekhiN, kahiN se koi sadaa na aayi Film: THODISI BEWAFAI (1980) Playback: Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar Lyrics: Gulzar Produced by: Nand Mirani & Srichand Directed by: Esmayeel Shroff Correct responses: 13/20 **************************************************************************** 19. aapke narm zaanoN pe so jayeNge *lyrics by Jaan Nisaar Akhtar. Incidentally a word in the title of this song was under discussion some time ago. An offbeat movie with a social theme and a not very known cast except for Shotgun Sinha. Song: Aap yuN faaslon se guzarte rahe, dil pe qadmoN ki aawaaz aati rahi Film: SHANKAR HUSSAIN (1977) Playback: Lata Mangeshkar Lyrics: Kamal Amrohi Produced by: Tajdar Kamal & Hari Singhnia Directed by: Yasuf Narvi Correct responses: 5/16 **************************************************************************** 20. jo kahe woh raat bhar kahe phir bhi na ho kuchh bayaaN *the debut film for this relatively new playback was "Haqeeqat". Very conventionally Khaiyyam. A black and white film. Song: Rut jawaN jawaN raat mehrbaaN, chhedo koi daastaaN Film: AAKHRI KHAT (1966) Playback: Bhupinder Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Produced by: Himalaya Films Directed by: Chetan Anand Correct responses: 7/16 **************************************************************************** 21. lamha lamha meri aankhon mein khiNchi jaati hai ek chamakti hui talwar ... *a very unusual and new voice, and Nida Fazli's superb lyrics. The ... represents the title of the song (as on cassettes) which follow the lyrics above. Song: KHuda KHair kare, aayi zanjeer ki jhankaar Film: RAZIA SULTAN (1983) Playback: Kabban Mirza Lyrics: Nida Fazli Produced by: A.K. Misra Directed by: Kamal Amrohi Correct responses: 12/16 **************************************************************************** 22. jo ishq kareNge woh sadaa aah bhareNge *Khaiyyam's versatility showed even in this funny qawalli.

Song: Jis pyaar mein yeh haal ho, us pyaar se tauba OR Phirte the jo bade hi sikandar bane hue Film: PHIR SUBAH HOGI (1958) Playback: Mukesh & Mohammed Rafi Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi Produced by: Parijat Pictures Directed by: Ramesh Saigal Correct responses: 13/16 **************************************************************************** 23. aaNkhoN meiN tha kaajal aise chaandni raat meiN saawan jaise *this singer is known for his voice supposedly being similar to Mohammed Rafi's.

GHair ko aaNkh milane ki tamanna kyuN hai *this masterpiece is by Kaifi Azmi. A beautiful duet very similar to another of Khaiyyam's compositions, of about the same time period. Lyrics by Jaidev. Song: Pyaas kuchh aur bhi bhadka di jhalak dikhla ke, tujhko parda ruKH-e-roshan se hatana hoga Film: LALARUKH (1958) Playback: Talat Mehmood & Asha Bhosle Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Correct responses: 7/16 **************************************************************************** 25. uski saaNsoN mein itr ki mehkaas *A Waheeda song.

A separation song. Song: Tera hijr mera naseeb hai, tera GHam hi meri hayaat hai Film: RAZIA SULTAN (1983) Playback: Kabban Mirza Lyrics: Nida Fazli Produced by: A.K. Misra Directed by: Kamal Amrohi Correct responses: 4/16 **************************************************************************** 2. kisko pata hai ab din hai ki raat hai *one of the most popular romantic pairs of the seventies.

Song: Jeena seekh liya maine tere pyaar mein, mar jaauN na maiN kahiN intezar meiN Film: MEHNDI (1983) Playback: Asha Bhosle Produced by: Dinesh Kumar Directed by: Asit Sen Correct responses: 4/16 **************************************************************************** 5.

Of course, some letters may be left over, but you should not use the same letter twice if it doesn't occur in the list twice. e.g. ABCDEFGHIJK 'bake' and 'fig' may be extracted, but if 'bake' is extracted, 'face' cannot be because there is only a single 'a' and 'e'.
