My ten favourite Nutan romantic-duets
Comes 4th of June and it is Nutan’s birth anniversary again and also that of bollwood deewana and Richard’S sister. It is turning fast into a tradition to celebrate Nutan’s birthday on this blog. This is her third birthday here. Last year I listed my favourite solo songs of hers. This year it is the turn of duets.
As usual I have taken only one duet per film. What really surprised me was that in her three most famous films, Seema [1955], Sujata [1959] and Bandini [1963], she doesn’t have any duets with her love interest! They are also missing in her Nagina [1951] and Hum Log [1951].
Well, here are my favourite Nutan duets. Enjoy them!
Costume dramas
1. Aasmanwale Teri Duniya Se Jee – Laila Majnu [1953]
MD: Ghulam Mohammad; Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni; Singers: Lata Mangeshkar & Talat Mehmood
Nutan as Laila! Somewhat unimaginable, when one has her plain avatars like in Sujata, Seema and Bandini in mind. On the other hand, who would think of flamboyant Shammi as Majnu? But they both give quite a convincing Laila Majnu pair. Ghulam Mohammad gave a good score for this film, a pity that it forgotten nowadays.
2. Man Ki Been Matwari Baaje – Shabab [1954]
MD: Naushad; Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni; Singers: Mohd. Rafi & Lata Mangeshkar
Nutan and Naushad is not the first association, which comes in one’s mind when one thinks of either of them. Naushad brings in images of Dilip Kumar and royal dramas and Shabab seems to be one of them, something which came in the wake of the success of Baiju Bawra [1952]. This film also looks like as if its story revolves around a royal court singer and his love interest. The film score is more famous for the two version of jogan ban jaungi.
3. O Saajana Chhuta Hai Jo Daaman Tera – Heer [1956]
MD: Anil Biswas; Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri; Singers: Geeta Dutt & Hemant Kumar
Nutan is perhaps one of the very few actresses, who got to play Laila as well as Heer. Her Ranjha is Pradeep Kumar! And he looks good with his stubble. This is the first time I saw Geeta Dutt giving playback to Nutan (exception: chupke se mile pyaase). In fact I hardly know of any songs, where she got playback from anybody else than Lata and Asha. She sang one or two songs herself, but otherwise…?
An unlikely pair
4. Yeh Raatein Yeh Mausam – Dilli Ka Thug [1958]
MD: Ravi; Lyrics: Shailendra; Singers: Kishore Kumar & Asha Bhosle
The second half of the 50’s, saw her don a new western avatar. At the same time she also managed to do roles like in Seema and Sujata.
I won’t say much about this song. Yves has dedicated a whole post to this song.
Nutandev
5. Chhod Do Aanchal – Paying Guest [1957]
MD: S. D. Burman, Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri; Singer: Asha Bhosle & Kishore Kumar
Paying Guest was their first film together. They acted in four films altogether, making a lovely pair. This playful frolicky number stands in stark contrast to the above three songs.
6. Ae Kaash Chalte Milke – Manzil [1960]
MD: S. D. Burman, Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri, Singer: Manna Dey & Asha Bhosle
I had a hard time deciding between this and chupke se mile pyaase. Don’t ask me why I chose this one. Both of them are soothing and intoxicating at the same time. Maybe it is the fact that Geeta Dutt only recites the lines and not really sings it made me decide for ae kaash chalte milke. Or maybe it is the moon that is featured in this song or the uneven sort of melody, that me decide for this one.
7. Dekho Rootha Naa Karo – Tere Ghar Ke Saamne [1963]
MD: S. D. Burman; Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri; Singers: Mohd. Rafi & Lata Mangeshkar
There fourth and last film together. This was also her first film-release after her marriage. Her role in this film is quite a contrast to the one in Bandini.
I personally don’t like the refrain of this song much, but the stanzas are lovely. What I like really about this song is the conversational style. By the way, what is chiknagiri or piknagiri, which she claims to have understood of love (In the video above between 1:46 to 1:56).
The Kapoors
8. Chori Chori Ek Ishara – Basant [1960]
Music: O. P. Nayyar; Lyrics: Qamar Jalalabadi; Singers: Mohd Rafi & Asha Bhosle
The second of Nutan-Shammi pairing. They do look good together. But on the other hand Nutan would look good with a lamp-post! This falling in love song, does give one that warm mushy feeling.
9. Tumhari Mast Nazar Gar Idhar Nahin Hoti – Dil Hi To Hai [1963]
MD: Roshan; Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi; Singer: Mukesh & Lata Mangeshkar
Nutan in a muslim social also goes contrary to her image and so does being a drunk and singing a song. Her being drunk though shouldn’t surprise us much, when one thinks of her apparition in beer in the title song of Tere Ghar Ke Saamne.
10. Ae Chaand Zaraa Chhup Jaa – Laatsaab [1967]
MD: Shankar-Jaikishan; Lyrics: Shailendra; Singer: Asha Bhosle & Mohd. Rafi
This song is making a reappearance here. It featured one year back on the moon list. This is also the second time that the moon makes its appearance on this list. The moon and the lovers are quite a threesome!
Watching all these wonderful songs, makes me realise all over again, what a wonderful, beautiful actress she was!
Enjoy the playlist here.

Nice one, Harvey. What sort of guy am I – I didn’t even realise it was my Nutan’s birthday till I read about Mohnish Behl remembering his mom today.
Love your comment “Nutan would look good with a lamp-post”. I want to be a lamp-post now and stand next to Nutan.
I see you’ve not included very famous duets like “ye chand khila” (Anari), “sawan ka maheena” (Milan). Is this by design?
One duet that I really like is “pyar par bas to nahin hai” from Sone Ki Chidiya (1958). Talat & Asha. Very romantic. Although you may not consider it a duet, seeing as it is 99% Talat.
Then there’s “neel gagan par udte baadal” from Khandaan (1965). Though it’s not a romantic song between lovers.
Thanks for the post. And for remembering MY Nutan, when I myself had forgotten. 🙂

Well husbands do quite often forget their wives’ birthdays, don’t they? So you are just keeping a glorious tradition alive! (I think I am going to get a whole load of brickbats for this comment!)
Your idea of becoming a lamp post has given me an idea. let me see if i can put it into practice!
As for not including sawan ka mahina and yeh chand khila is very simple in that I don’t like them so much as I like the above ten.
In fact I had even included pyar par bas to nahin hai, but then I realised that Nutan gets to move (or purse) her lips only to hum. I just couldn’t include it as a duet with a good conscience.
I had considered neel gagan par udte baadal, but then I realised
1. I don’t like it much
2. It is not a romantic duet
Thank you Raja!
Remembering Nutan as you see has already become a tradition here. So there is just no running away from it! 🙂

I have been up since 4 a.m, making some of the stuff for my Dad’s final rites, taking a break, and I find that you have posted about my mother’s favorite actress (and mine!). Here’s a song my Dad used to sing from one of her movies:
For some reason, my father loved Raj Kapoor’s character in this movie, so I bought the DVD, and we watched it often enough for him to even know some of the dialogs. His favorite song to mangle was Kisi ki muskurahatoon … and he would sing the RK part in the above song. This seems like a fitting tribute to him today.
harveypam
June 4, 2012 at 5:11 pm
I am very touched by your choice, Lalitha!
I wish you all the best for the preparations and wish you that everything goes smoothly. My condolences!
Nutan is also my mother’s favorite actress. As a kid I didn’t like her much. But after my teenage years I started liking her more and more.
Now she is along with Waheeda on the top rung of my actress list.
Woh chand khila is such a nice song. It reminds me of my childhood. i would inevitably feel anari, because I just didn’t understand what she sings.
Lotsof hugs and good vibes to you Lalitha!

Lovely tribute to a lovely actress. You have chosen all my favourites except the first three which I listened to for the first time, and I love the classical rendition from Shabab.
Nutan and Sunil Dutt were quite a pair together, though her films with him don’t seem to find popularity on many blogs. I didn’t mind them, and especially loved Milan. The songs were great, and these two different versions of the same song shows Nutan in so many different avatars where she looks absolutely gorgeous.
More than the song it’s for Nutan’s sake that I’m posting these clips 🙂

June 4, 2012 at 5:43 pm
Thank you pacifist!
Shabab indeed has some beautiful songs! Do listen to them, most of them are on youtube, I think.
Yeah Sunil Dutt and Nutan made a great pair!
They looked so lovely together in Sujata and Milan. I was considering sawan ka mahina or hum tum yug yug se, but they ended on 12th and 13th place.
Their different avatars are fascinating! It is the first film, I see her in a nine yard sari.

Happy Birthday, Nutan!
What an amazing list of songs! I think I’ll be listening to them the whole day today. The first three songs were new to me too. Am so immersed in these songs that I can’t even think of any other song of hers at the moment!
Basant had great songs though the movie was a total khichdi. I just noticed that you’ve included songs from all the three films she’s done with Shammi Kapoor!
But on the other hand Nutan would look good with a lamp-post!
How true!

June 4, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Ha! You beat me to it. 🙂 I was dithering over whether or not to do another post on Nutan. Loved the songs you have posted – personal favourites being Aye kaash chalte milke, Chori chori ik ishara, Yeh raatein yeh mausam, and Chhod do aanchal. Nice.
My picks:
1. From Sone ki Chidiya: It’s nice to see a sparkly, flirtatious Nutan.
2. Another Nutan-Dev from Baarish: it’s a lesser known film, but such a beautiful C Ramchandra composition.
3. A fantastic Raj Kapoor- Nutan combination, though it is not your usual duet:
And now I will stop before I post ten songs of my own. :))
harveypam
June 4, 2012 at 6:22 pm
You have done a Nutan post before?
Can’t remember it. This is my second Nutan list post. The first one had solos.
I’m glad you liked it!
The Sone Ki Chhidiya song was also on my mind, but it didn’t make it. That is why I am glad you added it.
I thought of adding phir wohi chand, but I didn’t want to flood the lsit with Nutandev songs! Nice, isn’t it? Archana has give a detailed review of the film at her blog.
A nice Mukesh song from Chhalia. I had totally forgotten about it. But you are right, it is not the usual duet, but it is sweet all the same.
Don’t feel shy about adding more songs, Anu! apna hi blog samjho! 🙂

Harvey, I wrote a post on Nutan last August, but that was on her performances – http://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.com/2011/08/greats-nutan.html. I thought yesterday about writing posting some of her songs on her birthday but was too tired to think of what to say about each. It was nice to wake up to your post. 🙂
Yves posted O nigahein mastana and Samir posted Tere ghar ke saamne – two of my favourite Nutan numbers. But there is one that I think of as a definitive Nutan song, even if it is a male solo. (And you gave me permission yourself. :))
And here is an Asha-Talat duet from Laila Majnu that I particularly like.

Really! I didn’t know that! I only knew that she had to wrap up Bandini fast, since she was pregnant at that time. Bimal Roy, it seems was worried that it could be seen.
TGKS and Bandini were released in the same year. Either Bandini must have been a long time in post production or they must have wrapped up TGKS very fast!

Your Nutan post is good!
Liked the list! But the detaisl to that I will post it at your blog!
It would have been nice to compare your choices with that of mine, if you had done the post!
“It was nice to wake up to your post. :)”
🙂 Dil khush hua!
Jalte hain jiske liye is very much of a Nutan song as well, you are right in saying that! This is for me one of the most romantic songs *sigh*
Talat’s voice suits the lovelorn Majnu so well! thanks for that!
BTW did any of Nutan-Shammi films do well at the box-office?

June 6, 2012 at 3:40 pm
Yes, she had some kind of a grace. Can never describe it. On the trio part, I preferred Dharmendra with other leading ladies like Asha Parekh and Sharmila Tagore from that period.
I guess even the audience didn’t like their pairing that much. Which is why their films flopped except for “Bandini”(1963). And even in that film, you know what happens in the climax 🙂

Dharmendra-Nutan was not a hit pair, but they do look good together. I like the song ek haseen shaam ko from Dulhan Ek Raat Ki

June 4, 2012 at 9:41 pm
Hello Harvey,
I loved your choices, thanks so much! We lot can certainly depend on you to remember celebrations. I watched all the songs, as well you can imagine, and was especially touched by the one from Heer, so much so that in fact I went on youtube and watched all the ones from that film I could find there, duets or not.
One ultra-famous that of course doesn’t feature Nutan singing herself is O nigahe mastana (from Paying Guest), but she’s so much part of the song that I think she must be included somehow:
And I remember laughing at this one from Basant, with Johnny Walker as the veiled driver:
sunheriyaadein
June 4, 2012 at 10:15 pm
I love the songs in Basant! Harvey’s posted Chori chori ik ishara ho gaya hai here, we discussed Raaste mein ek haseen in Atul’s blog and Yves has posted Nainon mein suraj ki kirne…Toh issko kyun chhode, hai na –

Hi Yves!
As you see, remembering Nutan’s birthday has sort of become a tradition here.
I am happy that you liked all the songs listed here.
It was sort of a discovery for me to listen to Heer songs. My ear and eyes much more used to listen to Nutan move her lips to Asha and Lata’s voice
were surprised to see her lip sync to Geeta Dutt’s voice!
You are right about o nigahen mastana including Nutan very much. It seems she has many songs where she just hums or recites. pyar par bas to nahin hai mera lekin belongs to that category as well.
Nainon mein suraj ki kirne is indeed amusing and a good tune at that!
This scene couldn’t take place in present-day France, could it?

Also, I would prefer her Raj Kapoor duets from Anari, Lalitha already has one, so I shall post the other
Can I leave Dev behind ;); you chose Ae Kaash Chalte Milte, so allow me to add
And the title song from TGKS

The C A T cat is such a madcap song! But any Kishore Kumar song from that era is one, isn’t it?

Yeah I was surprised that nobody before you mentioned dil ki nazar se before you. I am looking at you Anu! 😉
Chupke se mile pyaase is such a beautiful romantic song! *sigh* I am glad that you included it here.
I was about to add the title song of Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, but don’t ask me why, I just had this wish to take dekho rutha na karo. Funny, eh? But on the other hand, Nutan immersed in beer is more up your line! 😉
Lovely choices, Samir!

Yeah, she was one of the first Miss Indias, wasn’t she? Leela Naidu was one as well.

India’s FIRST MISS INDIA was,however, actress PRAMILA-who was a Jew by the name of
Esther Victoria Abraham-in 1947.
Her daughter Naqi Jehan became MISS INDIA exacly after 20 years,i.e. in 1967.
so,you see that the link of a Miss India and Films is right from the begining.
harvey
June 6, 2012 at 7:13 pm
that sure is an interesting bit of information. I don’t know if I know Pramila. Are there any famous films in which she acted?
Did she marry a muslim, that her daughter’s name is Naql Jehan? But she didn’t make into the movies, did she?
Arunkumar Deshmukh
June 7, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Pramila started acting with Bhikarin in 1935 and lasted till 1961 in character roles,a total of about 40 films.She had married Syed Hasan Ali Zaidi or Mijjan kumar or Kumar.Starting with Pooran Bhagat in 1933 kumar was a popular Hero and later a character actor.if you have seen Mughal-e-Azam,Kumar was there and the famous song ‘Aye Muhabbat Zindabad’ was shot on him.he migrated to Pakistan in 1964 and died there.
Naqi Jehan was his daughter.She debuted in her first and last movie “Akhari Khat” as a Heroine with Rajesh Khanna.
Pramila’s son Hyder Ali had done ‘RAJA’s role in TV serial Nukkad.He also wrote story and screenplay of ‘Jodha Akbar’.

I think everybody remembers Devi more for the slap rather than the story. The duet is nice though!
The duet form Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya is good as well. Between 1:00 and 1:05 you can see hwo Dharmendra is reluctant to take her hand which she offers. It seems like he would rather hold the reins of his horse rather than hold Nutan’s hand! 😀
Maybe he had a horse, who needed to better reined.
There is a duet in the Mayuri video and that also with Amit Kumar. I think it is the first time I am listening to the snippets of these four songs.
Thank you Prakashji!

The janam din song is neither a duet nor picturised on Nutan but it suits in the way that it is a birthday song. Junior Mehmood is a good dancer.
The lullaby is a very sweet song.
Thank you Prakashji!

My favourite Nutan duet is the title song from Tere Ghar ke Saamne, I just love the picturisation of the song and Nutan comes across as a little naughty but a sweet woman who is warning her lover about the perils of building a house across her house.

Nice to hear from you Shilpi!
That song from TGKS is surely a nice one. I wanted to take it in my list, but I ended up with dekho rutha na karo. The scene where Dev removes the ice cube is so lovely. It never fails to warm my heart!
