The Neetu Singh Playlist: Khullam Khulla Pyar Karenge To Tere Chehre Se Nazar Nahin Hat Ti… News24 –
1.Bachche mann ke sachche (Do Kaliyan): Lataji used to say Neetu Singh was the youngest heroine she sang for. At age 7 Neetu played a double role and got to sing two songs in Lataji’s voice Murga murgi pyar se dekhe and this cute number composed by Ravi where she was a sing-stealer.
2.kisi pe dil agar aa jaye (Raffoo Chakkar): Neetu had a slew of hits with her future husband Rishi Kapoor. This early Kalyanji-Anandji composition vocalized by Asha Bhosle and Shailendra Singh gave a ring of zing to the pair.
3. Lekar hum deewana dil (Yaadon Ki Baarat): When Neetu Singh got a chance to sizzle on screen she could bring the house down. Here she teamed up with Tariq Shah(filmmaker Nasir Hussain’s nephew) and danced her heart out to this zestful R D Burman number.Asha Bhosle vocalised the actress’ gamine zest.
4. Khullam khulla pyar karenge (Khel Khel Mein): The song epitomizes the Neetu-Rishi pair’s joie de vivre . Add R D Burman’s composition, and Asha Bhosle singing and you have a brew that is lethally potent.
5.Tere chehre se nazar nahin hat ti (Kabhi Kabhie): All the serious poetic songs went to Mukesh, Rishi got Kishore and Lataji slipped her vocals effortlessly from Raakhee Gulzar to Neetu Singh. Her dancing skills were so deviously dextrous they could burn the floor , and leave the audience panting for more.
6.Nahin nahin jaana nahin(Zinda Dil): An absolute gem of a song where Neetu Singh moved away from the vivacity of R D Burman and Asha Bhosle to the melodic heft of Lataji and Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
7.Haye re haye tera ghungta(Dhongee): Neetu’s co-star in this fun song was not Rishi Kapoor but her brother-in-law Randhir Kapoor and what a whale of a time the pair had in this R D Burman track where the word Ghungta acquires a life of its own.
8.Tere bin kaise din beete sajna(Priyatama): This was one of Neetu Singh’s more serious roles where she showed her acting chops . This song about a marital rift finds Lataji at the acme of lucidity. Neetu once told me, “I didn’t have to lip sync in this song, just emote to Lataji’s singing.I just followed her voice.”
9. Pyar ke din aaye (Maha Chor): Lataji, Kishore, R D Burman and the monsoon. Neetu Singh simply swung into the groove with Rajesh Khanna.
10. Aankhon mein kajal hai (Doosra Aadmi): While Raakhee Gulzar had the pensive Chal Kahin dur nikal jayen, Neetu Singh’s flew into the land of supreme romance with Rishi Kapoor in this magical Rajesh Roshan composition.
