"Kismat" [1968] is an Indian Hindi film directed by Manmohan Desai.
Starring Biswajeet, Babita Kapoor, Helen, Hari Shivdasani, Hiralal and Tun Tun.
Music is by O.P. Nayyar. Lyrics by S.H. Bihari and Noor Dewasi...........
Shamshad Begum (April 14, 1919) is an Indian singer who was one of the first playback singers in the Hindi film industry.
Begum was born in Amritsar, Punjab. She was a big fan of K.L. Saigal and watched Devdas 14 times. She earned 15 rupees per song and was awarded 5000 on the completion of the contract on Jenaphone.
Sometime back, a controversy erupted in the media, when several publications, gave the false news of her death, before it was clarified that the Shamshad Begum who died in 1998 was Saira Banu's (Dilip Kumar's wife) grandmother with the same name, and the legendary singer, has been living with her daughter Usha Ratra and son-in-law in Mumbai, ever since her husband, Ganpat Lal Batto died in 1955. Recently, she celebrated her 89th birthday at her elder sister's house and now she stays at Powai, Mumbai....
Begum became a national rage between the 1940s and the late 1950s rendering songs with her nasal voice, which helped her carve her independent image--a voice different from her peers, Lata, Asha, Geeta, and Amirbai Karnataki.....
Asha Bhosle (Marathi: आशा भोंसले) (born September 8, 1933) is an Indian singer. She is best known as a Bollywood playback singer, although she has a much wider repertoire. Her career started in 1943 and has spanned over six decades. She has done playback singing for over 1000 Bollywood movies and sold many records. She is the sister of the equally accomplished Lata Mangeshkar.
Asha Bhosle has won seven Filmfare Best Female Playback Awards out of 18 nominations. She won her first two awards in 1967 and 1968, when Lata Mangeshkar still used to accept the award (Mangeshkar asked not to be considered for the award nominations after 1969 to promote new talent). After receiving the award in 1979, Bhosle emulated her elder sister and requested that her name not be considered for the nominations hereafter. Despite this, Bhosle is the most frequent winner of this award to date, tying with Alka Yagnik. She was later given a Special Award for Rangeela in 1996, and the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. Following is the list of her Filmfare Awards: * 1968: "Garibon ki Suno" (Dus Lakh, 1966) * 1969: "Parde Mein Rehne Do" (Shikar, 1968) * 1972: "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" (Caravan, 1971) * 1973: "Dum Maro Dum" (Hare Rama Hare Krishna, 1972) * 1974: "Hone Lagi Hain Raat" (Naina, 1973) * 1975: "Chain Se Humko Kabhi" (Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye, 1974) * 1979: "Yeh Mera Dil" (Don, 1978)
* In 1997, Asha became the first Indian singer to be nominated for the Grammy Award, for Legacy, an album with Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. * She was honoured with the Padma Vibhushan by the Government of India.
Asha Bhosle received Padma Vibhushan from President Pratibha Patil on Monday May 5, 2008.

C.I.D. is a 1956 Indian Hindi film. Produced by Guru Dutt, it was directed by Raj Khosla. It stars Dev Anand, Shakila (actress), Johnny Walker, K. N. Singh and Waheeda Rehman and Minoo Mumtaz. The movie was a crime thriller and has Dev playing a police inspector investigating a case. The music is by O. P. Nayyar and the lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
Trivia;
* Dev Anand and Guru Dutt were friends when they struggled to get a break in films, and had promised each other that Dev would give Guru Dutt a film to direct (which he did with Baazi) and Guru Dutt would cast Dev as a hero and direct him. As Guru Dutt did not direct C.I.D. he could fulfill only half his promise.
* Guru Dutt had spotted Waheeda Rehman in a Telugu movie and cast her in Pyaasa, but gave her a key supporting role in C.I.D. to prepare her for Pyaasa.
* Guru Dutt had reportedly gifted Raj Khosla a swanky foreign car after the success of CID.
* The choreography of this film was done by Zohra Sehgal-now famous for her 'granny' roles (Veer-Zara, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam, Chini Kum).
* The costumes were credited to a Bhanumati, who is better known as Bhanu Athaiya.
* Assisting Raj Khosla on CID were Pramod Charavorty and Bhappi Sonie who went on to become successful directors in their own right.
* One of the lyricists was Jan Nissar Akhtar, father of Javed Akhtar.
* The scriptwriter was Inder Raj Anand, father of actor-filmmaker Tinnu Anand....

Padma Bhushan... Shamshad Begum
Shamshad Begum (born April 14, 1919) is an Indian singer who was one of the first playback singers in the film industry. Shamshad Begum was born in Amritsar, Punjab. She was a big fan of K.L. Saigal and watched Devdas 14 times. She earned 15 rupees per song and was awarded 5000 on the completion of the contract on jenaphone. She started her radio career on Peshawar Radio and did work in Lahore, Delhi etc. She made her debut on radio in Lahore on December 16, 1937 captivating the hearts of listeners with the enchanting depth of her voice. Shamshad was very much conscious of her not so beautiful face and she never posed for any picture and not many people saw her pictures anywhere. Until the end of 1970s, nobody knew her face but everybody could recognise her melodious voice as it was used by the great maestros like Naushad Ali and O.P.Nayar. Even today her songs from 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s make you stand still to listen to them.She sang for the All India Radio (AIR) through her musical group The Crown Imperial Theatrical Company of Performing Arts, set up in Delhi. The then AIR Lahore helped her in entering the world of movies as frequent broadcasting of her songs, which induced music directors to use her voice for their films. Shamshad also recorded "naats" and devotional music for a couple of gramophone recording companies. Her crystal clear voice caught the attention of sarangi maestro Ustad Hussain Bakshwale Saheb, who took her as his disciple. Lahore-based composer Ghulam Haider used her voice skillfully in some of his earlier films like: Khazanchi (1941) and Khandaan (1942). When he shifted to Bombay in 1944, Shamshad went with him as a member of his team. She is credited with singing one of the first Westernised songs, Meri jaan...Sunday ke Sunday by C. Ramchandra. O.P.Nayyar describes her voice as that of a "temple bell" for its clarity of tone.
In 1944, when Mehboob Khan launched his historical venture Humayun, Master Ghulam Haider used her voice in the film. That was the time when Amirbai Karnatki was considered the number one playback singer in Bombay. With the introduction of Shamshad Begum in the film world of Bombay, contemporary composers almost fell over each other in booking her for recording of their songs leading to a prolific career until the mid-late 1950s. Music directors like C. Ramchandra, S.D. Burman, Naushad, and O.P.Nayyar used her as their prime female vocalist in the early part of their careers. Shamshad became a national rage between the 1940s and the late 1950s rendering songs with her nasal voice, which helped her carve her independent image--a voice different from her peers--Lata, Asha, Geeta, etc.
Shamshad Begum, the nasal-voiced legendary classical and playback singer of yesteryears stays at Hiranandani Gardens, Powai in Mumbai.
Most of her songs were memorable hits. Even the one rendered in 1960s for Kismat, after her retirement: "Kajra mohabbatwala ankhiyon mein aisa dala" composed by O.P. Nayyar, proved a superhit. Her duet with Kishore Kumar, "Meri neendon main tum, meri khwabon mein tum" from Naya Andaz (composed by O. P. Nayyar), similarly, remains almost a touchstone of melodious romance. Shamshad, reputed to be a stunningly beautiful woman in her youth, performed live, both on-stage and on All India Radio through her musical group The Crown Imperial Theatrical Company of Performing Arts, set up in Delhi. Her crystal-clear voice caught the attention of sarang maestro Ustad Hussain Baksh-wale Saheb, who took her as his disciple. Since Mumbai had already been acknowledged as the countrys film capital, Shamshad went there in the late 1930s to try her fortune.She was immediately grabbed by master music directors like Naushad Ali, Ram Ganguly, S.D. Burman, O.P. Nayyar, and Khemchand Prakash. Throughout her film singing career, she remained a particular favorite with Naushad and Nayyar who used her voice not only to its fullest range but to the maximum extent possible. Shamshad became a national rage between the 1940s and mid-1960s rendering songs in her nasal voice, which helped her carve her independent--and till date unchallenged--niche in the world of music. She became a rage with songs like "O, Lagi Lagi" (Aaan), "Dhadkar Mera Dil" (Babul), "Teri Mehfil Main Kismat Azma kar Hum Bhi Dekhange" (Mughal-E-Azam), "Chhau Main Rakha Virana" (Deedar), "Holi Aayi Re Kanhai" (Mother India)--all hits for which music was directed by Naushad.Similarly, she gave superhits for Nayyar like "Kabhi Aar, Kabhi Paar" (Aar Paar), "Poochh Mera Kya Naam Re, Nadi Kinare Gaon Re" (CID). Among other notable numbers she rendered were "Saiyan Dil main Aana Re, Aake Chhup Na Jana Re" (Bahaar - S. D. Burman), "Ai Dil Na Mujhe Yaad Dila" (Saawan Aaya Re - Khemchand Prakash) and "Kaahe Koyal Shor Machaye" (Aaag - Ram Ganguly).

Shamshad Begum & Lata & Rafi - Door Koi Gaye - Baiju Bawra [1952]
"Baiju Bawra" is an award-winning 1952 Bollywood movie. Made in the Hindi language and directed by Vijay Bhatt, it stars Bharat Bhushan and Meena Kumari.
The film was both a commercial and critical success and catapulted both its lead actors into stardom. Meena Kumari went on to win the first-ever Filmfare Best Actress Award in 1954, the first of four Best Actress trophies she won in her career. The film's music director, Naushad, also received the inaugural Filmfare Best Music Director Award for the song "Tu Ganga Ki Mauj"; this was Naushad's first and only Filmfare Award win.
The movie is based on the legend of Baiju Bawra from the days of Mughal Emperor Akbar in India. Baiju (Bhushan) is the son of a musician who also grows up to be a musician. He comes to believe that Tansen, the famed musician at the court of Akbar, was responsible for his father's death. The movie then follows Baiju's attempt to avenge his father's death by challenging Tansen to a musical duel. Meena Kumari plays Baiju's love interest.
The plot centered around music, so it was a necessity that the movie's soundtrack be outstanding. Renowned Bollywood music director Naushad and lyricist Shakeel Badayuni created memorable scores for the movie, all but one of the songs being based on Hindustani classical melodies -- ragas. Esteemed playback singers Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, and Shamshad Begum, and renowned classical vocalists Amir Khan and D. V. Paluskar lent their voices to the scores.
Amir Khan was a consultant for the music. The result was a critically acclaimed movie soundtrack. Famous songs from the movie include Tu Ganga Ki Mouj (raga Bhairavi), Mohe Bhool Gaye Sanwariya (raga Bhairav with traces of Kalingda), Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj (raga Malkauns), Aaj Gaawat Man Mero (raga Desi), O Duniya Ke Rakhwale (raga Darbari), and Jhoole Mein Pawan Ki Aayi Bahar (raga Pilu). Naushad won the Filmfare award for Best Music Director, and Meena Kumari won the Filmfare award for Best Actress.
The film also established Mohd. Rafi as the top male playback singer, a position he held until roughly 1969, and regained in 1977. The songs Rafi sang for the film, including Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj and O Duniya Ke Rakhwale, went on to become smash hits............
Shamshad Begum (born April 14, 1919) is an Indian singer who was one of the first playback singers in the Hindi film industry.
Begum was born in Amritsar, Punjab. She was a big fan of K.L. Saigal and watched Devdas 14 times. She earned 15 rupees per song and was awarded 5,000 on the completion of the contract on Xenophone, a renowned music recording company.
Sometime back, a controversy erupted in the media, when several publications gave the false news of her death, before it was clarified that the Shamshad Begum who died in 1998 was Saira Banu's (Dilip Kumar's wife) grandmother with the same name. The singer has been living with her daughter Usha Ratra and son-in-law in Mumbai, ever since her husband Ganpat Lal Batto died in 1955.

Rafi sang in many Indian languages including Hindi, Urdu, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Sindhi, Kannada and Telugu. He also recorded English and Persian songs. He is primarily remembered, however, for his Hindi songs, which still remain very popular in India today and also among the Indian diaspora. He dominated the Bollywood music industry from the 1950s to the 1970s along with Mukesh, Manna Dey, and Kishore Kumar.
In 1965, he was honoured by the Government of India with the Padma Sri award............

Shamshad Begum (April 14, 1919) is an Indian singer who was one of the first playback singers in the Hindi film industry.
She was conferred the Padma Bhushan in 2009.
Begum was born in Amritsar, Punjab. She was a big fan of K.L. Saigal and watched Devdas 14 times. She earned 15 rupees per song and was awarded 5000 on the completion of the contract on Jenaphone.
Sometime back, a controversy erupted in the media, when several publications, gave the false news of her death, before it was clarified that the Shamshad Begum who died in 1998 was Saira Banu's (Dilip Kumar's wife) grandmother with the same name, and the legendary singer, has been living with her daughter Usha Ratra and son-in-law in Mumbai, ever since her husband, Ganpat Lal Batto died in 1955.
Recently, she celebrated her 89th birthday at her elder sister's house and now she stays at Powai, Mumbai....
Begum became a national rage between the 1940s and the late 1950s rendering songs with her nasal voice, which helped her carve her independent image--a voice different from her peers, Lata, Asha, Geeta, and Amirbai Karnataki.....
