        Song: Mini-Mini Chi-Chi, Mini-Mini Chi-Chi
                Duniyaa Me Chaand Suraj, Hain Sab Se Haseen,  Sab
Se Haseen
              Par Dil Ko Lubhaaye Rupaiyaa~~~

        Film:   Kathputali (1957)
        Music:  Shankar Jaikishan
        Lyrics: Shailendra
        Singer: Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Balraj Sahani, Vyjayantimala

This Mukesh-Lata duet is one of the most sweet duet, coming  from
team  of  Shankar  and  Jaikishan.  Very  unlike of theirs. A low
pitched, slow song. And no, it's not dumb, plain song either!  It
has  it's  ups and downs, but they are treated so well the entire
song mesmerises me.

Of course other popular  song  of  that  time  was  this  Hasrat-
Jaikishan combination:

        Baakad Bam Bam Bam Bam, Baaje Damaru, Baaje Damaru
        Naach Re Mayur Zanzanaa Ke Ghungharoo ............

Sung by cheerful chorus and Lata. I really enjoy this song.

Film's title song, sung in two parts  (fast  and  slow)  is  also
good. Do I need to remind that one ? 'Bol Ri Kathputali Dori Kaun
Sang Baandhi,  Such  Batalaa  Tu  Naache  Kiske  Liye'  is  still
haunting. And who can forget Vyjanti dancing on this ?

Last but not least, we have had a Subir Sen song in  this  movie:
Manzil  Wohi  Hai Hai Pyaar Ki, Raahi Badal Gaye'. He will remain
one of the major gift to us by this musical duo.

Note: I am away till end of first week of May.
