The songs penned by Majrooh and given life by none other than Rafi saab are alltime classics and the one of song by Lata the beautiful lori 'gudiya kab tak ruthi' is also a sweet song. If I dare to pick my favourite songs, than it will be 'mera toh jo bhi kadam hai'.

Shankar Jaikishan's 3rd back to back Filmfare Best Music Director Award for this movie. Can you belive that the other nominees that year for this award were Naushad for 'Mughal-e-Azam' & Ravi for 'Chaudvin Ka Chand'. Though all the Lata songs are great ones, I personally love 'ajeeb dastan'.

Anari

Anari (1959) - Music Review
Lyrics - Shailendra
Music - Shankar Jaikishan

1. Ban ke panchi - Lata Mangeshkar
2. Dil ki nazar se - Lata Mangeshkar & Mukesh
3. Kisi ki muskurahaton - Mukesh
4. Sab kuch sikha humne - Mukesh
5. Tera jana dil ke - Lata Mangeshkar
6. Woh chand khila - Lata Mangeshkar & Mukesh
7. Nineteen fifty six - Lata Mangeshkar & Manna Dey

Shankar Jaikishan won his 2nd Filmfare Best Music Director Award for Anari. Interesting he was also nominated for 'Chhoti Bahen' along with S.D. Burman for 'Sujata'. Must have been difficult for the jury to select! Both the Lata, Mukesh duets are classic ones, along with the SJ-Mukesh-RK combination 'kisi ki muskurahaton' & 'sab kuch sikha' are evergreen songs. The song I love the most is 'tera jaana' by Lata.
