Amongst the three most prolific female singers
of the 50s and 60s HemantK has the least number
of duets with Asha, most of them being under 
his own MD-tion. Shirin Farhad features two 
Hemant-Asha duets under the baton of S Mohinder.
(the other being 'ae dilruba', posted a couple
of months ago). In the third duet from this film, 
'aa jaa o jaan-e-wafaa', Lata shares
the credits with HemantK. Three male singers..
Hemant, Talat and Rafi share the playback for
PradipK in this movie, with Talat (sunaauu.N
kis ko afasaanaa) and Rafi (hazaaro.n ra.ng badalegaa
zamaanaa) having a solo each...both beautiful
in their own right. Another highlight is Lata's
famous 'guzaraa huaa zamaanaa'...all in all
a stellar soundtrack, IMO S Mohinder's best work.
Mahendra Kapoor is the sixth singer in the sdtrk,
singing the title Heer. (Correction: **** THIS IS 
INCORRECT -Rafi has sung both title/end songs, as
mentioned by Mr. Sudhir Kakkar below) 

Question for Mr Sudhir Kakkar (or if someone else
is aware)...which song of this movie is in Gevacolor
on the DVD (as you mentioned in an earlier post)?

General language question...what does "aaGaaz" as in
"mera aaGaaz shirii.N hai.n "  mean?

Two asides(stats)...1) Other MD's that Hemant+Asha 
sang for include Ali Akbar Khan(Aandhiyan), Ravi(Prabhu 
ki Maya) and OPN (Sambandh)...any more? 2) One of
Hemant's earliest duets with Geeta was under
S Mohinder in Shrimatiji (1952)..a playful melody
"do naina tumhare pyare pyare". These are the only
two Hindi movies in which Hemant sang under SM. The
third instance was in an unreleased movie "Do dost"(1960)
- "ye sone ki duniya". All songs whose names have 
been mentioned here have lyrics in the C-ISB (or will
have in the next release).

aaGaaz = beginning, commencement... starting, origin (opp.: Anjaam)

ANSWERS  TO  THE  QUERRY  +  CORRECTIONS
========================================


Song in Gevacolor:  Rah Rah Dil Ye Pukare / Asha + Chorus /
On Screen:  Ameeta + extras / Dance Scence  +

 Closing Scenes,  which has repeat of TITLE SONG /
 Na Tajshai Na Badshahi (short song - only 1 Para)
 / Rafi + Chorus -  This song, which also is the 
Title Song and based on 'Heer Tune is by Rafi + Chorus
and Not Mahendra Kapoor


There is a very good Dance Music (instrumental) in the film,
which appears, when  Ameeta is introduced to Madhubal's 
father.


AGAAZ:  means  'beginning or start'.  The counter-word for it is:
ANJAAM,  which means 'the end'     


In the film, the song: Aa Aaja Aja O Jaan-e-wafa was butchered with
dialogues.  The 78 rpm version is available on some Hemant Kumar's
compilations

It seems you don't like qawwalis, otherwise the superb number:
Aakhon Mein Tumhare Jalwe Hain, would have received atleast
some passing remarks.

I do agree with you on one point, that it indeed is the best
work of S. Mohinder and more amazing than that is the fact, that it
was done for a second tier production company (Super Pictures)
