It was early seventy when I saw his first movies, sitting on ground, in first row, in a pandal of Saraswati Pooja and this movie was Tum sa nahi dekha, which changed his style from serious actor of Laila Majnu, Thokar, Shama Parwana to a singing and dancing Star. Yes a Star was born, he changed the romantic scene was shown in hindi movies those days. Ji haan, unki adaaygi mein ek naya josh tha jo ki unke upar filmaye gaye gaano mei jhalakta tha. I am trying to give here 20 songs, which were popular but little different from his most popular songs, because some of my friends have already mentioned those songa.
Numbers are just a serial no. not a ranking.
- Chal diya Carvan. In the begining of his career, Talat mehmood was used as his voice and this was song from one of his first movie Laila Majnu. IN 1953 total seven movies were released.
