Songs from Daak Ghar (1966)
19 February 2011


DAAK GHAR (1966) was a documentary film produced by the Children's Film Society and directed by Zul Vellani. The lead roles were played by Balraj Sahni and Sharmila Tagore while the story centred around a child whose role was played by Master Sachin.

The film had situational music only and had short songs for embellishments. No records were made of these songs. The singers include Bhupendra [who sang for Madanji in this film after he made his debut with Haqeeqat], Sushma Shreshta and others. We have located some of these songs with the help of one of Madanji's admirers and these are now being featured in full on the website. We are still hoping to locate the balance songs.

The following songs can now be heard in full:-

  • Ye Bhor Jahaan Se Aatee Hai, Koee Mujhko Wahaan Pahunchaa Detaa
  • Kyoon Roz Akelaa Jaataa Hai Ae Sooraj Le Chal Saath Mujhe
  • Taazaa Dahee Le Lo Taazaa Dahee, Taazaa Dahee Le Lo
  • Taazaa Dahee Le Lo Taazaa Dahee, Taazaa Dahee Le Lo (Female Version)
