Hemant Kumar: Sahib, Bibi Aur Gulam (1962/1970)

Sahib, Bibi Aur Gulam

'Sahib, Bibi Aur Gulam' [review]: A nice one from Hemant Kumar; old school, charming, sweet. And I like Geeta Dutt. I don't have a lot featuring her, but what I do is generally lovely. 'Piya Aiso Jiya Men' (especially) and 'Na Jao Saiyan Chhod Ke Baiyan' are no exceptions.

(Capsule review, designed to facilitate catching up on posting.)

Track listing:

4. Asha Bhosle & Chorus: Sakhiya Aaj Mujhe Neend Nahi Aayegi
5. Geeta Dutt: Chale Aao, Chale Aao

  1. Thank you for posting this one. This movie is one of the best that I've seen, though so terribly sad. I wrote about it here:

    I'd consider "Sakhiya Aaj Mujhe Neend Nahi Aayegi" to be the hit from this, but that's partly because hearing it always brings to mind that fantastic mujra scene with Minoo Mumtaz.

  3. Avocado Kid: It's a generic reissue cover (previously seen on Dharmatma and Sambandh) which I'm not very fond of to be honest. Parties, Sarees and Melodies posted the original.
