As Neetu Kapoor turns 67, 10 lovely songs listed by Subhash K Jha.
Bachche Man Ke Sachche from Do KaliyanAt age 7 Neetu played a double role and got to sing 2 songs in Lataji's voice: Murga Murgi Pyar Se Dekhe and this cute number composed by Ravi where she was a sing-stealer.
Kisi Pe Dil Agar Aa Jaye from Raffoo Chakkar
Neetu had a slew of hits with her future hubby.
This early Kalyanji-Anandji composition vocalised by Asha Bhosle and Shailendra Singh gave a ring of zing to Neetu-Rishi.
Lekar Hum Deewana Dil from Yaadon Ki Baarat
When Neetu got a chance to sizzle on screen she could bring the house down.
Here she teamed up with Tariq and danced her heart out to this zestful Asha Bhosle-R D Burman number.
Khullam Khulla Pyar Karenge from Khel Khel Mein
The song epitomises Neetu-Rishi's joie de vivre.
Add RD's composition and Ashatai's singing and you have a lethally potent brew.
Tere Chehre Se Nazar Nahin Hat Ti from Kabhi Kabhie
All the serious poetic songs went to Mukeshji, Rishi got Kishoreda and Lataji slipped her vocals effortlessly from Raakhee to Neetu.
Nahi Nahi Jana Nahi from Zinda Dil
An absolute gem of a song where Neetu moved away from the vivacity of R D Burman and Asha Bhosle to the melodic heft of Lataji and Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
Haye Re Haye Tera Ghunghta from Dhongee
Neetu's co-star in this fun song was brother-in-law Randhir Kapoor and what a whale of a time they had in this R D Burman track.
Tere Bin Kese Din Bite Sajana from Priyatama
One of Neetu's more serious roles.
Neetu once told me, "I didn't have to lip sync in this song, just emote to Lataji's singing."
Pyar Ke Din Aaye Kale Badal from Maha Chor
Lataji, Kishoreda, RD and the monsoon.
Neetu simply swung into the groove with Rajesh Khanna.
Ankhon Mein Kajal Hai from Doosra Aadmi
While Raakhee had the pensive Chal Kahin Door Nikal Jayen, Neetu's flew into the land of supreme romance with Rishi in this magical Rajesh Roshan composition.
