Binaca Geetmala 1961 final

In the Binaca geetmala 1961 finals, the Nazrana song-"ek wo bhi diwali thi", now so well known, failed to make it to top 32, though two other songs from this movie made it.

As many as 5 songs in this Binaca geetmala are from just one movie-"Jis desh mein Ganga behti hai". Such a dominance by songs of one movie in a Binaca geetmala final was a first for this programme.The competition was such that many by now legendary songs could only secure low ranks.

For instance look at the songs that played at the bottom three positions. All of them have gone on to become all time great evergreen songs. Of course, the same can be said about most of the songs that figured in this 1961 finals of the Binaca geetmala programme.

R D Burman, making his debut as a music director managed an impressive fifth position for his song-"matwali ankhon wale O albele", in what was his debut year in bollywood movies as well as Binaca geetmala as an independent music director.

Binaca Geetmala 1960 final

1960 was the year which saw Binaca Geetmala drawing its songs from lots of musical block busters. Binaca geetmala 1960 was flooded with songs from Mughal e Azam, Barsaat ki Raat,Chhalia,Kohinoor,Chaudhvin ka Chand, Dil apna aur preet parayi,Kala Bazar, Bambai ka babu etc. In this elite company,many wonderful songs missed from making the cut, though they are now a days regarded as all time great evergreen songs.

(1)Ja re hat natkhat (Navrang, released in late 1959)- now regarded as one of the iconic Holi songs.
(2)All but one song from Barsaat ki raat failed to make it to the final 32, such was the competition and class of songs in this year's Binaca geetmala.

Binaca Geetmala 1959 final

Light hearted songs, sad songs, one iconic rakhi song- these were the songs that constituted Binaca geetmala final countdown of 1959. With passage of time, we find that a few songs that figured nowhere in the list managed to become more pupular than some of the songs in this Binaca geetmala. But then we have the benefit of hindsight with us. For instance, where is the Madan Mohan composition-"Bairan neend na aaye" from "Chacha Zindabad" in this year's Binaca geetmala ? And "Navrang", despite being a 1959 movie, missed out entirely in the 1959 Binaca geetmala.

Binaca Geetmala 1957 final

This year's Binaca geetmala list is dominated by fun songs. And most of these songs have stood the test of time.S.D.Burman,C. Ramchandra and O.P.Nayyar came up with some memorable fun songs that have become evergreen. But the top spot was usurped by a devotional song composed by a minor league music director for a C grade movie.This was a first in Binaca geetmala's history, when an "outsider" song came out of nowhere and occupied the pride of place leaving behind all the songs from A grade movies.

Binaca Geetmala 1956 final

And now here is the final countdown of Binaca geetmala 1956. It was the year in which O P Nayyar made a grand entry into the league of hotshot music directors.Same can be said about Madan Mohan too. In fact,music of both these upcoming music directors sounded similar during this year, before Madan Mohan would carve his own niche in future.

This was a year in which Geeta Dutt dominated, and Manna Dey among male singers had a surprisingly good participation in this year's final countdown with three songs in top 16,something that he would never be able to do again in future Binaca geetmala finals.

Here are the songs that figured in Binaca geetmala 1956 finals:

Binaca geetmala 1968-Titanium year of Bollywood music

We all know about Binaca geetmala.And I have posted on Binaca geetmala 1971 final in the past as well.We saw in that geetmala that every song was as good as the other, and more importantly, every song is still popular with people familiar with those songs. It was a golden year for Bollywood music and for Binaca geetmala.

But was this the best year as far as Bollywood movie songs are concerned? No, it was not. There were even better years than 1971. If 1971 was a golden year then there were platinum and titanium years as well.Now, which year was the titanium year in the history of Bollywood movie songs ? ( Assuming that titanium is the most precious metal of them all). Which was the year, in which every song was memorable and remains so till this date ?

After going through the list of all songs figuring in all finals from 1954 onwards ( it is available on internet), I have no doubt in my mind that the year 1968 was the absolute zenith in the history of Bollywood movie songs and Binaca geetmala.Remember, there used to be 32 songs figuring in the final two weeks of the year, and when I say that the year 1968 was special, I am talking not just for the top 16 songs, I am talking about 32 songs. All 32 songs were extremely popular, and remain so till this date.

And I feel that it is my duty to bring Binaca getmala 1968 to the notice of all those who were obviuosly too young at that time ( including me). Read on,listen to the songs, and enjoy. I am sure you will enjoy this Binaca geetmala just as much as the people lucky enough to listen it live at that time must have felt.
