Now this is one I like. I love this entire album (It has 12 songs). I don't think everyone will, because it's really for the 50's fans. It can be dull if you like the wacky and weird, but give this one a listen, you might be delightfully surprised.
Even tough it's not as musically detailed or refined as some more classical inspired soundtracks, I am attracted to it's simplicity.The title music at the beginning is a dramatic intro. (that should be required for all hindi films).
The classic, "Ek Pardesi Mera Dil Le Gaya" comes next. It is also the theme of the soundtrack, and can be heard in the "Title Music","Piya Piya Piya" and "Teer Yeh Chup Ke". It's the fist time I have heard a theme in old hindi cinema. They have it all the time now, but it is especially used in western classical scores.
The dramatic start and mainly the chorus at the end of "Barso Re" make it stand out a bit. Also enjoyable are"Chhun Chhun Ghungroo Bole" and "Teer Yeh Chup Ke".
Here is a modern remake of "Ek Pardesi Mera Dil Le Gaya". Oh, god! I think I will stick with the 1958 version.

Good look on those bollywood albums
This is very god blog. I appreciate your love for hindi films and its music.I would like to add one point here that calling hindi film industry as Bollywood is very derogatory. Hindi film industry has its own identity and it does not need any hollywood name association to be recognised.
I hope you understand my point of veiw.
And the albums you are sharing are really nice and i always surf this webpage whenever i get time
Good Luck
Hi. Apparently there's another contemporary remix of Ek Pardesi Mera Dil Le Gaya, sung by Asha Bhosle herself. Somebody at YouTube posted it in sync with the old film clip. Chances are you might have seen this, but I thought I'd mention it here anyway, because I thought it was pretty good:

Stella,
Could I request you to re up this one (Phagun - OPN). My system crashed and I am unable to salvage this one.
Thank you.
Hey Tala, just press on the link at the bottom of the post, where it's written "Get the music now: O P Nayyar | Phagun" just click on Paghun , the link and download are both working.
Stella,
Sorry to bother you. I did try several times, both before and now, doesn't work for me :(
Thanks anyways!!
I just downloaded it right now. I don't know where the problem is, but maybe you have kaspersky internet security? That sometimes blocs the download. If you have that just pause you security for the time of the download, and you should be just fine. Tell me again if it does not work? I will upload it again and send you a link. Thanks.
Well, what do you know, now it worked!! I had to restart my computer, maybe that helped. Really appreciate your uploads and assistance... take care!
Ek Pardesi Mera Dil Le Gaya. was the song everyone will fall into love until they hear one long-forgotten traditional folk tune from Bengal.....Beder Meye Jyotsna Aamay Katha Diyechhe...You will quickly fall from the ninth heaven and shocked to see how plagiarised is the Hindi no! Yes, the Bengali vocal is rustic..and has a little musical arrangement but that cannot rip away the beauty it has. Folk songs are only like that.
Beder Meye Jyotsna Aamay Katha Diyechhe... is the song from one Bengali jatra (a la Marathi Nautanki) Beder Meye Jyotsna which was made into one well-known Bengali movie in the 90s.
Unfortunately I cannot download this item, can anyone assist?
